Since 1938, Detroit Diesel engines have powered the work that builds the world around us. That legacy took a major step forward in 2007,when a new era began with the launch of the DD15®, which was closely followed by the DD13® for regional haul and vocational applications, and the DD16® for severe-duty jobs. Together, this trio formed the foundation of Detroit’s Heavy-Duty Engine Platform, proving itself over nearly two decades and more than 1.2 million engines on the road. Now, building on 87 years of legacy and continuous engineering, Detroit is proud to announce the sixth generation (Gen 6) DD13, DD15, and DD16 engines. With production beginning in January 2027*, Gen 6 sets a new benchmark for efficiency, performance, reliability, and system integration. It’s innovation that stays true to the proven power that Detroit customers already trust.
*Production of the DD13 and DD15 will start in January 2027, while the DD16 will follow with all the same upgrades in 2028.
