The Future Of Engines………. IS Here.

Have you heard of DEF as of yet? If you haven’t you sure will.  The future is here indeed. Beginning in January 2010, Freightliner will be rolling out it’s 2010 EPA engines. That is actually great news. Why? Well we now know that the DD15 engine platform is performing better than anyone expected. And with those terrific results we will see better fuel economy because of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). DEF is injected into the exhaust stream which reacts with NOx in SCR catalyst. To make a long story short, this SCR  system uses much less EGR and allows the engine to function at higher and more optimal combustion terperatures, providing increased fuel efficiency and power. And savings to you. Call us for more information.

DD15 and ISX - The Perfect Tandem

60_engine.jpgEngines, Engines, Engines…. How do I choose? Simple. When you consider a new truck, nothing is more important than a reliable engine to get you from point A to point B. When you purchase a new Freightliner, you get the best of both worlds. The DD15, simply put, has been a huge success. The biggest fleets are raving about the fuel economy and the drivers and talking about the smooth, quiet ride. 

 We are also pleased to announce that the Cummins ISX is back with Freightliner. Cummins EGR engines are not like other EGR engines. The exhaust gas recirculation system is simpler and more robust. Together with their patented variable geometry turbocharger and proved engine components, it’s a total package designed to last as long as it’s proven predecessor before an overhaul is needed. With their heavy-duty EGR engines, there is no reduction in life-to-overhaul.

The ISB and ISC are proven medium duty engines. Available in our M2 product, these reliable engines round out the Cummins line up. Call us today with any questions!
