Q: Is MTU the same as Detroit Diesel?

No, they are different. MTU and Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) are not entirely identical but share a close connection. In 2000, MTU acquired DDC in full, leading to the formation of the MTU/DDC 2000 and 4000 series diesel engines. Through technological integration, they became a globally leading engine supplier.

Q: Is Detroit Diesel better than Cummins?

Detroit diesel and Cummins have their own advantages, and the specific choice depends on the application scenario and requirements.

Performance Characteristics Comparison

Detroit diesel engine: Known for its high cost-effectiveness and fuel economy, the S60 series is widely used in heavy equipment due to its intelligent control and durability. ‌
Cummins: With more advanced technology, it adopts high-pressure common rail electronic injection system and turbocharged intercooling technology. Its product line covers 1.4-91-liter displacement and has a market share of over 50% in the North American heavy-duty truck market.

Market performance

Detroit: Has a certain market share in North America, but usually ranks lower than Cummins. ‌
Cummins: Higher global market share, better noise control and durability. ‌

Applicable scenarios

Detroit: Suitable for cost sensitive users who need to balance performance and economy
Cummins: It is more suitable for high-end applications that pursue progressiveness technology and long-term stability. ‌

Q: Which is better, DD13 or DD15?

The Detroit DD13 and DD15 engines each have their own characteristics, and choosing which one is better mainly depends on your specific application needs. Here is the key comparison between the two:

1. Displacement and power output
✦ The DD13 has a displacement of 12.8L, a horsepower coverage of 350-505HP, and a maximum torque range of 1250-1850 lb ft (approximately 1700-2506 Nm)
✦ The DD15 has a displacement of 14.8L, horsepower coverage of 400-505HP, and a maximum torque range of 1550-1750 lb ft (approximately 2140-2372 Nm)

2. Fuel economy and technical characteristics

✦ DD13 adopts the latest vortex piston design, high-pressure common rail system, and 10 needle injector, which improves fuel economy by about 4% compared to the old model. The after treatment system (ATS) has also been optimized, reducing weight and extending the cleaning cycle
✦ DD15 also has excellent fuel economy, with its six blade fan and enhanced common rail system (ACRS) ™） And proprietary technologies such as asymmetric turbochargers have further optimized combustion control and efficiency

3. Applicable scenarios
✦ DD13, with its wide maximum torque output range (1000-1500rpm), is suitable for long-distance transportation scenarios that require stable and efficient power.
✦ DD15 performs better in heavy or complex road conditions that require higher traction capacity and excellent performance

Summary

If fuel economy, medium displacement, and broad torque output are prioritized, DD13 is a better choice.
If larger displacement, higher torque, and stronger traction capability are needed, DD15 is more suitable.
