630HP (470KW) @ 2100RPM. Top selling heavy-duty electronically controlled diesel engine, for stationary industrial engines.
Originally released in 1987 the SERIES 60 was the first fully electronically controlled heavy-duty diesel engine manufactured. The Series 60 has been the top selling heavy-duty diesel engine since 1992, and in 2008, the company built its one millionth Series 60 Engine. It is without doubt the best performing engine in its class. The Series 60 engine is the acknowledged fuel economy leader in the heavy-duty diesel market. The combination of advanced combustion, overhead cam, high efficiency turbocharger and industry leading electronics has led to enviable fuel economy and performance leadership. DDEC (Detroit Diesel Electronic Control) is the industry leading electronic control system available today. The sixth generation of DDEC is now standard equipment on all Series 60 engines. The Series 60 is an engine incorporating very simple design aspects, which provides for reduced parts, easier serviceability and reduced maintenance requirements. This means that the Series 60 is cheaper to operate, lasts longer and costs less to service, thus reducing down time. When you combine all of the features of the Series 60 it is not surprising that drivers have become accustomed to overall superior performance, durability and reliability. Over the last several years, the Series 60 has successfully crossed over into the off-highway markets: construction & industrial, gensets, and marine.
