Penske Power Systems has announced it will re-introduce the 14-litre Detroit Series 60 Legacy into its current engine offering.
According to Penske, a limited number of engines will be produced at DTNA’s Utah reman facility in the US exclusively for Australian and New Zealand aftermarket and overhaul customers.
“For local Detroit customers, this means that the Series 60 575hp engine is now available for purchase as a loose engine at Penske Power Systems branches and authorised dealers,” the company said – saying it was backed by a two year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
“More than ever we deliver an extensive range of technologies to our customers, from the DD15 engine on the one hand, to the legendary Series 60 on the other. So when our customers asked for the Series 60 Legacy to be re-introduced as part of our product mix we worked hard to make it happen,” said Kevin Dennis, Director On-Highway – Penske Power Systems.
Dennis added that the Series 60 was still “incredibly relevant” for today’s on-highway market and proof that durable design leads to long-life reliability for customers.
“The classic engine works across an extensive range of truck makes and models, and sets the standard for fuel economy and reliability for legacy engines in the industry,” he said.
