Detroit Diesel Makes Significant Investment in Service Technicians

                Enhanced program focused on increased uptime,
                      improved quality for the customer

    DETROIT, Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Detroit Diesel Corporation (DDC) is
making certain that it's in top shape to support its customers with the launch
of G2 -- or the Guild 2.0.  With the launch of the new service technician
program, service outlets are increasing their focus on ensuring faster service
and improved quality for customers.
    For many years, the DDC Guild has helped deliver service excellence
through training, testing, and rewarding technicians.  Now, the company has
built upon the best of the Guild to develop a new program that will help
employees at On-Highway service locations stay on top of the latest
developments in products, tools and diagnostic technology -- especially those
coming in 2007.
    The G2 Expert Service Network is a program focused on four key areas to
help provide the highest quality service to customers: Training, Certification,
Continuous Improvement and Recognition.
    "We understand that those who work on Detroit Diesel engines need better
tools and training as each generation of engines becomes increasing complex.
We are confident G2 is a way to make certain this happens," said Carsten
Reinhardt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Detroit Diesel Corporation.
"With G2, we've strengthened technician training, certification and
recognition in an effort to help improve customer satisfaction, sales and
profits.  And we will constantly evaluate the program to ensure continuous
improvement is part of how we manage G2.  We are very excited about how this
program can positively impact customer satisfaction."
    Reinhardt explained that the benefits for G2 members will include access
to new training modules that focus on how to diagnose and repair the most
common issues; recognition of professional knowledge through certifications,
as well as previous Guild service; opportunity for specialization or overall
engine and parts knowledge, and career development.
    "Everybody benefits from G2.  Technicians will perform service efficiently
and accurately, and they will be motivated to stay within a location that
recognizes and rewards their professional knowledge, and customers will get
accurate, dependable, quality service for their engines.  I'm convinced that
G2 status will help drive service excellence at service locations and help us
exceed customer expectations going forward," concluded Reinhardt.
    Detroit Diesel Corporation is the leading manufacturer of on-highway
heavy-duty diesel engines for the commercial truck market.  The company offers
a complete line of engines from 170 to 515 horsepower for the on-highway and
vocational markets.  Through its corporate headquarters in Detroit, Michigan,
