FrançaisAbout Detroit Diesel
Detroit Diesel is one of the world's leading manufacturers of engines for heavy machinery. The brand's history spans over 85 years, beginning in 1938 when a specialized division of General Motors was established in Detroit, USA, focused on producing powerful units primarily for military equipment during World War II.
After the conflict ended, the company quickly shifted its focus to manufacturing engines for commercial vehicles — trucks and passenger cars. In 1957, it introduced a record number of engine variants that gained recognition both in the US and Europe for their reliability and fuel efficiency.
