Hmm, I can't see the AC vents on the driver side on the New DAF, only on the passager side. :lol:

Considering how diferent are the pollution regulations between USA and EU (and how much those affect the way the engine can work); I guess it's possible that the way Paccar engines work they are "stronger" than their competition in USA while in EU are in disadvantage.

Need to take a look on the torque charts, but i think the 16L has more torque on lower RPMs than 13L

Fuel efficiency must also favor the 13L due to smaller displacement

Level 15 (some parts are available earlier, but that doesn't help, if the truck itself is L15)? That was my point too. There must be a reason for it ( or it is a mistake) which I cannot see but would like to know. Maybe someone can enlighten me! Thank you! 😃

Volvo had a d13 540 since Euro5, while Scania got a 540 version of it's DC13 with the current gen a few years ago

That said, Detroit Diesel will have the most powerful engine in that range, the DD13 Gen 5 who was announced late last month supposed to have a 525 HP rating available.
