Detroit Diesel Corporation

Detroit® is the industry-leading original equipment manufacturer of state-of-the-art engines, axles and transmissions specifically designed for integrated, optimized performance and efficiency inside Freightliner and Western Star Trucks. The Detroit® product portfolio has expanded to include advanced safety systems and telematics, delivering a total trucking solution.

In 2015, Detroit Diesel (DDC) was the first Daimler facility in the U.S. to implement ISO 50001 and achieve Superior Energy Performance (SEP) certification. The facility implemented a robust energy management system in compliance with ISO 50001 and used SEP to quantify its energy performance improvement, and as a result, the facility demonstrated it had improved energy performance by 32.5% and saved $37 million over a ten year period. Since then, DDC has maintained these certifications and has continually improved its energy performance, reducing energy use 5.8% since 2017 and by 16.9% since 2014 (per the SEnPI Models developed for the SEP program).
