Hi Guy"s and Hi Peter,
The new DD15 will be in a small market in 2010. It's a big secret that DD is taking over another chassis mfg. DD ended their relationship with Prevost after the merge with Volvo Group.
DD15 Fuel Economy
The latest numbers from the DD15 seem to put it well ahead of the rest in fuel economy..?? We will see..
Good Luck

Hi Nick, So do you know which chassis manufacturer DD might be trying to get a piece of?
How's Winston?

Hi Peter,
Winston is at least 3 times the size as when you saw him... Great dog but, wants to bark at everything!

Detroit Diesel is a subsidiary of Daimler AG, part of the Daimler Truck Group and an affiliate company of Freightliner LLC
Well, we knew Daimler... But, Freightliner??

In my opinion DD has been on the decline since the EPA made them stop producing there V-12 nicknamed the "Buzzin Dozen". John

Its called vertical integration, the goal is to produce all of the components under one corporate umbrella.
So far we have:
Daimler owning MB, DD, Sterling, Mitsu Fuso and Freightliner.
Volvo Trucks owns Prevost.
Peugot owns Mack.
PACCAR owns both Kenworth and DAF and I've read that they want DAF engines in KWs.
So we are left with only one major independent OTR truck builder (Peterbuilt) and two independent engine builders (Cat & Cummins).
