Sterling fits new HD Detroit under the hood
ORLANDO, Fla. — Sterling says the new Detroit Diesel DD15 heavy-duty engine is now available for order for on-highway applications in the heavy-duty Sterling Set-Back A-Line and Set-Back L-Line models.
The announcement was made at the Technology and Maintenance Council annual meeting in Orlando, where the engine is only display.
The DD15 offers output and torque variants from 455 hp to 560 hp and 1,550 to 1,850 lb/ft, including dual torque ratings for special applications.
The DD15’s performance is based in part to its turbo compounding technology, says the company. At the rated speed of the DD15, the engine delivers up to 50 “free” horsepower without sacrificing fuel economy.
With its combination of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a particulate filter for reduced emissions, the DD15 is a global engine that is tailored to North America’s EPA ’07 emissions regulations. In time, the engine will be available in all Daimler Trucks heavy-duty models around the world.
“The DD15 is a great addition to our component offerings,” said Richard Shearing, manager of product strategy for Sterling. “It’s a reliable, powerful engine that pairs well with our Set-Back A-Line and Set-Back L-Line models for a complete transportation package for LTL and on-highway applications.”
