Construction trucks are the intended use for the D13B400. With an overhead camshaft, four valves per cylinder, and electronic fuel injection, this engine boasts a sturdy and dependable design. The design offers excellent fuel efficiency, high dependability, and good driving characteristics. Because the timing mechanism is at the back of the engine, vibration is lessened and a power take-off can be installed there. Both low exhaust emissions and low noise levels are characteristics of the D13B400 engine. The Euro 4 emission standards are satisfied by the EGR system.
