Detroit Diesel MBE 900 (I (2002+)) MBE 900 7.2L 262hp (193kW) 800Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Daimler Truck (с 2000) group (США, 1938). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 262 to 306 hp (+44 hp, +17%) and torque from 800 to 890 Nm (+90 Nm). The 2002 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

Detroit Diesel specialises in heavy-duty diesel engines for Class 8 trucks. Detroit Diesel is part of Daimler Truck. Detroit Diesel is an American diesel-engine manufacturer, founded in 1938. Truck diesels carry an extended set of maps for commercial load, with the focus on torque. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on modern Euro-6 truck engines. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output.

The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. On high-output trucks, Stage 1 reduces fuel consumption under load. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. High-output MAN units are long-haul tractors with solid headroom for Stage 1.
