Profit-Maximizing Tools
DDEC® VI is decked out with tools that help you take care of your bottom
line—by taking care of your truck. We know what kind of punishment our engines
take on the road. After all, we built them with that in mind. DDEC is designed
to take engine reliability to the next level with precision electronics that
work smarter.
Pay Dirt
Optimized Idle
Prolonged idling wastes fuel, causes unnecessary wear to your Detroit Diesel
engine and throws more pollutants into the air. The DDEC VI optimized
idle system makes sure you can do everything—maintain engine temperature,
battery voltage and cab temperature—without continuously idling. By
automatically starting and stopping your engine, the optimized idle saves
money.
Ether Start® System
Cold weather starting can be tough on your engine. But not with Ether Start. By
injecting a small amount of ether into the air intake at precisely the right
time, your engine starts easier and more smoothly—every time. And if your
system is low on ether, an indicator light in the cab lets you know. It's all
part of our innovative lineup of profit-maximizing DDEC
tools.
Fuel Economy Incentive (FEI) Program
Not only does DDEC VI help you take care of your truck by preventing and
troubleshooting problems and minimizing engine abuse, it helps you minimize
your fuel costs. Because drivers have the biggest impact on fuel consumption,
FEI software allows you to team up with your drivers to get the most miles per
gallon. Find your nearest dealer to learn more about FEI.
