FACT SHEET
Engine D13K420, EU6SCR
The D13K420 is a 420 hp, 12.8-litre, in-line, six-cylinder FEATURES AND BENEFITS
diesel engine equipped with an overhead camshaft, four
valves per cylinder and common rail fuel injection. The • Maximum torque within a broad rev range.
engine meets the Euro 6 exhaust emissions requirements. • Fuel efficient.
• Low-emission variant, Euro 6.
The D13K420 is designed for heavy long-haul and distribution • Extremely high engine braking effect with VEB+ and EPG
operations. It is based on a robust and dependable design with (option).
an overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder and precisely • Rear-mounted power take-off with high power output
controlled electronic fuel injection. (option).
The timing mechanism is located at the rear of the engine,
which results in less vibration and permits the fitting of a rear-
mounted power take-off.
The D13K420 is a low-emission engine in terms of both
exhaust gases and noise. Euro 6 legislation reduces nitrogen
oxide (NOX) by 80% and particulate emissions by 50% com-
pared with Euro 5. In order to meet legislative requirements,
Volvo Trucks has developed an after-treatment system that,
in the silencer, combines a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC), a
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), a Selective Catalytic Reduction
unit (SCR) and an Ammonia Slip Catalyst (ASC).
The D13K can be equipped with VEB+ (Volvo Engine Brake)
and EPG (Exhaust Pressure Governor). These systems provides
extremely high braking effect, further improving safety and
reducing wear on the wheel brakes.
