The superior fuel economy derived from the DD15 makes it a smart business decision for any customer.
Feature Benefit
Unprecedented efficiency achieved by a number of innovations that combine to
reduce weight and complexity while improving fuel economy and durability.
The redesigned DD15 is an evolution of our incredibly successful EPA 10 model
including a patented asymmetric turbocharger, an updated piston design, a variable
speed water pump and optimized oil pump.
Pulls strong down to 1,000 RPM so drivers spend more time in top gear.
2nd Generation Amplified Common Rail System (ACRS) combined with updated DDEC
electronics optimize every single injection event.

Demand Economy
While other manufacturers have adopted common rail fuel systems, Detroit has stayed ahead of the industry producing the only engines with an Amplified Common Rail Fuel System (ACRS).
The ACRS delivers highest pressures only within the
injector, limiting the stress on the fuel system components
The electronic injectors deliver the higher pressures
necessary to increase fuel atomization lowering
combustion temperature and improving thermodynamic
efficiency
Also contributes to improved throttle response, while also
helping reduce emissions and engine noise

The DD15 is the fuel economy leader in the HD industry, following benefits will help the bottom line.
Engine Feature Function / Attribute Vehicle Benefit
Compression Ratio (18.4:1)
High compression ratios condense
the oxygen and fuel molecules
into a smaller space causing
better mixing and evaporation of
the fuel droplets improving
engine thermodynamic efficiency.
A high compression ratio allows the engine
to extract more mechanical energy per
stroke. As a result, there is increased power
and more useful work at the moment of
combustion.
Oil/Coolant Module,
Thermostat
The advanced oil/coolant and
thermostat module allows the
DD15 to run at more consistent
operating temperatures. More
consistent temperatures reduces
the need to engage the fan.
Reduced fan on-time leads to a savings of
40 HP. Less fan on-time directly increases
fuel economy.
Fuel Economy Benefits

The DD15 allows not only great fuel economy but also remarkable drivability. It is responsive, quiet and smooth.
Engine Feature Function / Attribute Benefit
Long flat torque curve Long torque curves provide pulling
power at lower engine rpms.
- Less shifting
- Improved performance on hills
Best in Class Torque
Response
Contributors:
- ACRS
- Non-Wastegated
Turbocharger
- Low Inertia
Overhead Camshafts
Improves engine responsiveness to
driver command.
The DD15 delivers 90% peak torque in
1.5 seconds when competitor engines
are only at half of their peak pulling
power. Faster torque response means:
- Improved launch acceleration
- Enhanced progressive shifting
- Superior passing capabilities
Integrated Jacobs
Engine Brake
The standard DD15 Jake Brake no
longer sits on top of the rocker arms,
but is integrated into the camshaft.
- Selective braking capabilities (low,
medium, high)
- Extremely quiet operation
- Enhanced downgrade control
- Decreased service brake wear
Drivability Benefits

Daimler Trucks Marketing 24
Reliability is the ability of a system to perform and maintain its functions in routine as well as hostile or unexpected circumstances. Durability is the ability of the system to endure. The DD15 delivers on both.
Engine Feature Function / Attribute Benefit
1.2M mile B50 Life
B50 calculates the expected engine life
to overhaul. B50 is the estimate of
when 50% of engines will require major
repair.
Higher B50 life estimate is a direct
indication of robustness of design. At
1.2M miles the DD15 has the longest
B50 life in the industry.
Cylinder Head & Engine
Block
Designed with a single slab cylinder
head and robust engine block.
- Single slab design results in a more
rigid structure
- Single slab design, has higher clamp
load on cylinder head ensuring tight
seal
Durability / Reliability Benefits

Daimler Trucks Marketing 25
Maintaining your investment in the DD15 is integral to meeting the industry leading 1.2M mile B50 life. The DD15s long B50 life does not come at a high cost to its owners. The DD15 was designed with maintenance and low operating costs in mind.
Engine Feature Function / Attribute Benefit
Location of key
maintenance components
Most service components were
located above the frame rail.
The DD15 was designed so most of the
components were easily within reach of
the service technician. Locating
components above the frame rail also
helps reduce service bay time.
Large oil sump capacity
(43 L)
Provides sufficient lubricant
supply to maximize service
drain intervals.
- Improved heat dissipation
- Superior soot suspension capacity
- Greater protection against customer oil
drain interval abuse
Maintenance free
crankcase breather
The maintenance free closed
crankcase system removes
crankcase vapors, separates oil
and returns it back into the oil
sump.
While other engine manufacturers have to
maintain their crankcase breather once or
twice a year the DD15s is maintenance
free.
DDEC Electronics DDEC electronics monitor the
operating conditions of the
engine and aftertreatment.
Provides optimal powertrain control of
engine and aftertreatment functions.

The DD15 makes the environment better for both the driver and mother nature.
Engine Feature Function / Attribute Benefit
Quiet with less vibration
The integrated Jacobs engine
brake, ACRS and rear gear train
all contribute to reductions in
noise and vibration
A quieter and a smoother ride lead to
satisfied drivers.
Bio-Diesel Capability Detroit Diesel supports the use
of bio-diesel blends up to 5%
(B5) volume in diesel fuel.
Modestly reduces emissions and
dependence on foreign oil.
Straightforward transition
to GHG 14
Designed with future
emissions standards in mind
(GHG 14 and beyond).
First Introduced for EPA 2007, the DD15
was designed with the fundamental
foundation for a smooth transition to SCR
technology
Rear Gear Train Reduces torsional activity on
crankshaft between flywheel
and gear train.
Rear gear trains provide reduced vibration
for a quieter and smoother ride.
High Fuel Injection
Pressures help reduce
Nox
Higher fuel injection pressures
increase fuel atomization and
results in lower burn
temperatures and decreased
NOx formation.
Reducing the level of NOx is critical to
meeting the required emissions targets
mandated by the EPA.

On Board Diagnostics (OBD 2013) Overview
30
What is OBD 2013?
OBD regulations require diagnostics that can detect discrete failures or degradation of
components and systems.
OBD systems must monitor all the inputs and outputs of the emissions control system to verify proper functionality.
OBD systems must inform the operator that a failure has been confirmed via the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
OBD systems must record failure codes and event data to aid repair technicians in their diagnosis and repair of failures.
OBD is required for all engine families.
The number of systems being monitored has been increased and the variances allowed (from
the emissions standard) has been lowered.
All Detroit engines are certified to meet OBD 2013

Green House Gas 2014 (GHG14) Overview
What is Greenhouse Gas 2014 (GHG14)?
GHG14 is the governments (EPA/NHTSA/CARB/ARB) newest emissions regulation; new
regulations begin with model year 2014 vehicles and increases in stringency through model year
2018. The goal of GHG14 is to address global climate change and reduce oil consumption.
Individual certification is required for the chassis, engine, and A/C system and separate
standards have been issues for CO2, N2O, CH4 and HFCs.
To meet GHG14 requirements OEMs must reduce tailpipe CO2 emissions by improving fuel
efficiency.
Under the new GHG14 regulations, certified trucks and buses built model year 2014 through
2018 are projected to reduce oil consumption by 530 million barrels and greenhouse gas
emissions by 270 million metric tons.
EPAs greenhouse gas standards must be met beginning model year 2014, however Daimler has
decided to lead the industry by certifying its 2013 vehicle fleet one year early. NHTSAs fuel
efficiency standards must be met beginning model year 2017 for diesel vehicles.
