The Detroit Diesel Series 110 was a two-stroke diesel engine with 110 cubic inches of displacement per cylinder, built only as a straight six. General Motors introduced it in 1945 as a more powerful alternative to the Series 71, about half again as large per cylinder. It served in construction machinery, marine propulsion and power generation, and its best known use was in the Budd RDC self-propelled rail car. Early engines used a geared centrifugal blower that suited fixed-speed work but failed in vehicles, so a Roots blower became an option from about 1952. The last Series 110 was built in 1965, after which the manufacturing rights were sold to the W. W. Williams Distribution Company.
