Detroit Diesel MBE 900 (I (2002+)) MBE 906 6.4L 192hp (141kW) 520Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Daimler Truck (с 2000) group (США, 1938). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 192 to 232 hp (+40 hp, +21%) and torque from 520 to 620 Nm (+100 Nm). The 2002 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

Detroit Diesel is an American diesel-engine manufacturer, founded in 1938. The DD13/15/16 form the current range of Detroit Diesel engines. Detroit Diesel specialises in heavy-duty diesel engines for Class 8 trucks. 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. Stage 1 on truck diesels focuses on torque for loaded running. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. Mid-range MAN trucks are a mainstream chip tuning subject in logistics.
