Detroit Diesel

The most crucial piece of Detroit Diesel company information you need is this: Our people know diesel engines inside and out. Our expert engineers and trucking pros constantly look for new and better ways to design, build and support our engines.

The Detroit Diesel history began in 1938, just as World War II was heating up. That year, General Motors formed the GM Diesel Division — the ancestor to Detroit Diesel. The needs of tanks, landing craft, road building equipment and standby generators meant our first engines had to be compact, lightweight, two-cycle products. It was during this epic time that a tradition of strength, quality and dependability was born.
