Hailing from Detroit and originally a division of General Motors (GM), Detroit Diesel’s On Highway Division is now a part of Daimler Ag.

The Detroit Diesel Series 60 inline-six 4 stroke diesel engine was first produced in 1987 and differed from most on-highway engines, by being an overhead camshaft engine with full "drive by wire" electronic control. Originally the Series 60 was available as 11.1 and 12.7 litre versions but in 1998, the 11.1-liter model was discontinued.
