Economy

Smart, fuel-efficient design makes the most of every gallon

  • Get up to 7% better fuel economy* compared to an EPA 2007 Series 60
  • Pulls strong down to 1100 RPM so drivers can spend more time in top gear
  • Amplified Common Rail System (ACRS™) optimizes each injection event to minimize fuel consumption
  • Advanced cooling system allows for decreased fan on-time, minimizing fuel consumption
  • Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) virtually eliminates excessive, fuel-consuming regenerations
*Compared to the Series 60 EPA 2007 engine with comparable engine ratings and load weights.

Serviceability

Lower your cost of ownership with easier serviceability

  • Longest scheduled maintenance intervals in its class
  • Maintenance-free crankcase breather
  • Unmatched parts availability at your local Detroit service location
  • Common serviceability with other Detroit engines ensures trained technicians are available when you need them

Virtual Technician

Virtual Technician is a factory-installed onboard diagnostic system that puts you in control of your business 24/7. When a coach’s check engine light illuminates, data is immediately collected, providing a technical snapshot of the engine’s status before, during and after a fault code event. This information is sent to you and the Detroit Customer Support Center, where a trained representative can diagnose the issue, recommend service and even contact the nearest authorized locations with parts in stock. Put simply, Virtual Technician takes the guesswork out of engine repair, helping you to manage your business more efficiently.

Diesel Design

FUEL TANK

The XB Chassis comes equipped with a 90-, 100-, or 150-gallon rectangular aluminized steel fuel tank mounted between the rails for increased safety and reduced fuel stops.

LOWERED ENGINE POSITION

A lowered engine position creates a lower center of gravity, which increases the stability of the bus for a safer, more comfortable driving experience. It also allows for a flat floor in the rear of the bus, increasing usable space.
