The Detroit Diesel Series 60 is an inline-six, four-stroke diesel engine built from 1987 to 2011. It differed from most on-highway engines of its day by using an overhead camshaft and electronic drive-by-wire control, and when introduced in 1987 it was the first heavy-duty diesel with fully integrated electronic controls. Displacement grew from 11.1 to 12.7 and then 14 litres, and the engine became a staple of American heavy trucks and buses, with marine versions from 1999. Its Detroit Diesel Electronic Control system logged engine use and faults for fleets. By 2008 Detroit Diesel had built one million of them, and the DD15 replaced the Series 60 in 2011.
