DETROIT, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC)
responded to an erroneous report about the MBE 4000 engine, for which DDC has
sales and service responsibility in NAFTA. The report, which was provided to
truck dealer sales personnel, claimed that the MBE 4000 engine would not be
certified for year 2004 emissions standards and beyond.
"That report is completely false. We fully intend to certify the engine
in 2004, and in 2007 as well. It is the newest engine design available," said
Mark Bara, Senior Vice President - On-Highway Engines. "The MBE 4000 is the
perfect complement to the Series 60 engine and was just recently added to the
DDC product line-up. The MBE 4000 has already developed a reputation for
excellent fuel economy, along with being the lightest of the heavy-duty
engines while offering a full 12.8 liters of displacement."
Detroit Diesel Corporation, headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, is engaged
in the design, manufacture, sale and service of heavy-duty diesel and
alternative fuel engines, automotive diesel engines and engine-related
products. The company offers a complete line of engines from 22 to 13,000
horsepower for the on-highway, off-road and automotive markets and is a QS-
9000 certified company. Detroit Diesel services these markets directly and
through a worldwide network of more than 2,700 authorized distributor and
dealer locations. Detroit Diesel is a subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler AG, the
world's leading manufacturer of heavy-duty diesel truck engines. Within
