Abstract

As part of the group-wide global standardization of the product portfolio, Daimler AG is developing a new engine series — the Heavy Duty Engine Platform (HDEP) for use in heavy commercial vehicles. With the unveiling of the Detroit Diesel DD15, the first engine in this family, with a capacity of 14.8 l, was introduced on the North American market. Additional variations of this platform will follow with displacements of 15.6 l, 12.8 l and 10.6 l. These engines will then be introduced gradually in all Daimler AG trucks.
