Demand It All, Demand Detroit Diesel
With a more powerful performance, best-in-class fuel economy, reliability, and engineering excellence, Detroit Diesel technology is reshaping life on the road. And you'd expect nothing less. Whether you're in the coalmines of West Virginia or the forests of Western Canada, Detroit Diesel engines have the power and torque to deliver the horsepower you need, when you need it.
PROLAM: Driven by Innovation
We go beyond the obvious production challenges and focus on the business hurdles you face. We push the technological envelope further to do more with less. We refuse to settle for the status quo. We bust the myths that have plagued the industry for years (oak, anyone?). We obsess over ratings, weight, durability, and moisture protection. Don't believe me? Watch the video and see for yourself.
UltraShift PLUS MHP & MXP Transmissions
The UltraShift PLUS provides extreme efficiency over other automated and automatic transmissions, as well as a number of performance and cost advantages.Its two-pedal design uses electronics to engage and disengage the clutch, so drivers can concentrate on the road, not on shifting. Best of all, UltraShift PLUS can be tailored to the unique needs of each fleet in order to provide optimal performance.
Fuel Max: One More Reason to Choose Goodyear
Most line haul fleets are looking for new ways to conserve fuel. That's why Goodyear is offering a family of tires and retreads featuring FUEL MAX Technology. Available in all wheel positions - steer, drive and trail - Goodyear tires and retreads featuring FUEL MAX Technology work together to help improve fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.
Nussbaum Transportation Runs Smart
Freightliner's Cascadia trucks are comfortable, efficient, and productive which aids in our driver recruiting and retention efforts. This top of the line truck allows our drivers to be confident that they have a reliable piece of equipment to provide our customers with superior service. The increased fuel economy Nussbaum is seeing from a combination of Freightliner equipment and trailer skirts and tails allows us to run trucks more efficiently, placing Nussbaum at the forefront of the industry.
SCR: The Smart Choice
Detroit engineers are using our BlueTec® SCR emissions technology to reduce emissions and improve fuel economy. We recently achieved greenhouse gas 2014 (GHG14) regulations, a full year ahead of the mandate for certification by The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation's Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) first-ever program to reduce heavy and medium-duty truck greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Cascadia: Meet the Makers
Our engineers threw out the regular playbook on heavy-duty trucks to build the Cascadia. Our test fleet was fertile ground for ideas. We counted more drivers at both ends of the size spectrum: big men who needed a bigger seat, and small women who needed a more adjustable chair. They got it. And we built all controls in the cab to be usable, even with work gloves on. Then they tested, retested, then kept on testing so you'd have the most reliable and aerodynamic truck with an ultra-quiet and safe cab.
Maverick Transportation Demands It All
Maverick Transportation demands a competitive edge with the Detroit Diesel DD15 featuring BlueTec SCR emissions technology. With fuel efficiency gains with 3%+ improvement, the Maverick drivers tackle their regular routes east of the Rockies with easy fueling and cold weather climate.
Quality Heat, Quality Sleep for Only Pennies a Night
Our AIRTRONIC D2 bunk heater dramatically reduces engine idling used to provide heat to the sleeper and cab, leading to decreased engine wear and fuel consumption. Our state-of-the-art Digi-Controller provides drivers with manual control and digital temperature adjustment of their Airtronic heater.
The CT660 Class 8 Vocational Truck
Before we put a single design for the CT660 on paper, we spent hundreds of hours on the road asking customers to describe the ideal truck. Our design team rode alongside drivers and gathered input on everything from specs and comfort to visibility and performance. The result? The CT660 is the truck you told us you need for today's demanding jobs -- custom built to your specifications, so you can put it to work for your business right away.
The Controller of Tomorrow, Today!
Three years ago we began a quest to build the industry's first Smart heater controller. We began by speaking with our customers - the drivers, maintenance technicians and fleet managers that use our heaters. We asked them what new features they'd like to see added to the next generation of Espar heater controllers. We then used their input as a blueprint for developing a controller that met virtually every request on their wish list.Introducing...the Digi-Max D1000.
