Series 60^® Performance

The Ultimate Crowd Pleaser

No matter how you size up diesel engine performance, the Series 60^® makes the cut. Impressive acceleration. Easy maintenance. Unsurpassed dependability. And by meeting the latest EPA requirements and delivering superior fuel economy, it tackles today's tough trucking challenges like a champ.

It Works Because It Works Harder

Drivers want an engine they can believe in. That's why every Series 60 is built to give you what you need on the open road:

More Power, Less Bulk

Weighing in at only 2,840 lbs, the Series 60 puts its power in the right place — hauling loads. And its excellent power-to-weight ratio, integrated DDEC VI electronic controls and advanced aftertreatment system help make the Series 60 the fuel-efficiency leader since 1987.

Fuel-based Advantages

The Series 60's Advanced Fuel System features improved injection for faster response time and greater efficiency. The DDEC VI-controlled high-pressure dual solenoid injectors provide excellent fuel control and fewer emissions.

Superior Engine Control

The sixth generation of Detroit Diesel's renowned DDEC electronic controls (DDEC VI) effectively and automatically manage your Series 60 at all times. With comprehensive diagnostics and analytics reporting real-time system conditions, you're always in control and can react quickly if necessary.

Better Piston Performance

Every improvement counts. Case in point: The new monotherm (one-piece) piston's closed oil gallery reduces friction and oil consumption. And improved ring cooling and higher compression ratio result in lower ring and liner wear; reduced oil soot loading; and better cold engine performance.

Cruising Without Losing

Hills ahead? Bring 'em on. The Series 60's torque and advanced DDEC VI controls deliver more torque and performance in cruise control while maintaining peak engine efficiency, no matter the terrain.

Proven Stopping Power

Keeping downhill speeds in check comes standard with the Series 60. We install the original Jake Brake^® compression brake for our heavy-duty engines because no other combination can ensure the same level of peace of mind, safety and performance on challenging mountain runs.
