Freightliner LLC soon will unveil a new sales program targeted at Detroit Diesel heavy-duty engine purchasers that no longer have access to Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines. Freightliner LLC will offer these customers an incentive package for purchasing new Freightliner, Sterling, or Western Star trucks equipped with Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines.

After the acquisition of Detroit Diesel Corp by DaimlerChrysler, Freightliner LLC's parent company, other heavy-duty truck chassis builders in the North American market have stopped or plan to stop offering Detroit Diesel engines in their trucks. Freightliner Trucks, Sterling, and Western Star will continue to offer a full line of these engines.
