Rugged and Reliable:

Diesel Engines for the

Construction Equipment Industry

DaimlerChrysler Off-Highway
 Dependability:
Engines you can rely on.
People’s expectations of equipment vary widely from one application to another,
but there is one quality that everyone demands: reliability.
And that is a good reason to put your trust in us.
You put your trust in people and engines that
you know. DaimlerChrysler Off-Highway is a
combination of brands that you know and
trust – Detroit Diesel, MTU and Mercedes-
Benz. These major brands have come together
to become a world leading supplier of engines
and systems for industrial, marine, rail, and
power generation applications.
Our engines have proven themselves over and
over again in a variety of applications,
especially in the industrial market. Nowhere
else are engines subjected to the same level of
rugged and rigorous demands. The absolute
maximum is always demanded of our engines,
whether it is performance, reliability, fuel
economy or longevity.
The more exacting the requirements, the
more you’ll realize the need for our engines.
Precisely engineered with ultimate
performance in mind, they will stand up to
the test at any time and any place – at high
altitudes, in extreme temperature conditions,
and on any road or terrain.
Our engines have been optimized down to
the very last detail with construction
equipment customers in mind. And that
means that you will benefit from our
commitment to provide the most advanced
and highly integrated engines in the
marketplace. Our engineering expertise and
experience equip us to provide a power
solution that exceeds the requirements of
your unique application.
We also provide parts and service support
available virtually whenever and wherever
you need it. All over the globe, our factory
certified technicians are available to support
your needs 24/7.

 Uplifting performance:
Engines for mobile cranes

Diesel engines for mobile crane applications

have to perform three basic tasks:

First, they must be capable of propelling

the vehicle at highway speeds on paved
road surfaces.

Second, they must have adequate power

and torque to negotiate rough terrain and
obstacles on the jobsite.

Third, they must deliver maximum reliability

and uptime to ensure that you maximize
your revenue and profit as you operate
the vehicle.

You can be sure that our engines are

designed to help you reach these heights
of performance.
Loads of power:
Engines for wheeled loaders

The requirements of a wheeled loader sound

straightforward, the capability to respond
quickly under full load are far from easy for
conventional engines. It is only under
extreme conditions that you learn precisely
what an engine can deliver.

Our diesel engines ensure that wheeled

loaders can accelerate quickly, move faster,
and get the work done sooner – even when
fully loaded or working on inclines.

Rugged, powerful, economical and designed

from the beginning for long life even under
the most demanding conditions, our engines
can help you move mountains in record time.

As tough as they come:

Engines for dump trucks

Dump trucks are among the most demanding

off-road vehicles when it comes to engine
power and torque.

The most important attribute for any dump

truck engine is bottom end torque. High
torque rise and low end power are inherent
in all of our engine designs giving our
engines enormous pulling power from idle to
rated speed.

In addition, excellent fuel economy moves

your load for less cost.
Groundbreaking:
Engines for road-building equipment

Dust, mud, heat and continuous operation

are just a few factors that make road
building one of the toughest jobs for
construction equipment.

Not surprisingly, our engines are designed to

meet and exceed the demands of road
building equipment. Tough, reliable,
powerful, and fuel efficient, our engines are
ready to help you cope with the most
difficult duty cycle on the most difficult day.

Plus, our wide range of engine options gives

us the flexibility to adapt a power package to
your exact application requirements.

Put us to the most extreme test and see for

yourself our engines run hour after hour.

Whether you are buying, leasing, or renting
equipment, you are making a significant
investment that requires continuous
operation to generate a profitable return.
This puts an engine to the ultimate test!
Bulldozer engines require something
extraordinary – robustness and strength!
High capacity utilization – often in extreme
conditions – means there is little time to
shutdown an engine for maintenance.
Unstoppable:
Engines for bulldozers
And, you expect maximum engine
performance day in and day out to meet the
rigorous demands of your construction project.
That is precisely what we offer – strong,
robust engines capable of extended service
intervals that are unrivaled by our
competition. Engines that are “unstoppable”!

Our support services are
based on two principles:
Starting sooner.
Continuing longer.

We provide support from the beginning - from

the design and specification phases right
through to the installation phase. We can
bring our experience and system engineering
expertise to the project in the beginning
stages to develop a system solution
specifically suited to your application
requirements.

And our commitment to our customers does

not end with the engine installation. We feel a
responsibility to you for the entire service life
of the product. Extended maintenance of your
engines by our support teams guarantees you
the uptime, reliability and economy
you demand.
 OEM Engineering and
System Management
Our application engineers work in concert with
the OEM’s engineering staff to create a power
solution precisely matched to the application.
This approach includes:
> Defining power and torque
requirements
> Cooling system development,
analysis and testing
> Appropriate sizing of all subsystem
components: intake, mounting, exhaust,
fuel supply, electrical, etc.
> Torsional vibration analysis
This approach ensures that your engine and
subsystems exceed the operating requirements
for the toughest work environment and
duty cycle.
Depending on the OEM’s interest, we can take
charge of the development and design of the
engine and subsystem, and installation to
deliver a complete “turnkey” power solution.
This service includes the coordination
of all work from initial appraisal through final
testing and verification in conjunction with the
OEM’s engineering staff.
