Description
2016 Volvo D13 12.8L Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine
The D13 features a 4-stroke direct-injection design, common-rail fuel injection, and a variable-geometry turbocharger with a sliding-nozzle system. Volvo’s engine architecture is designed to provide precise fuel delivery, responsive performance, and efficient combustion. 2016-era D13 configurations used selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emissions technology along with other emissions-control systems.
Multiple D13 ratings were available around the 2016 model year. Volvo documentation lists ratings from approximately 375 to 500 hp, with torque ratings varying by configuration. This makes the D13 suitable for a broad range of highway, heavy-haul, construction, and vocational applications.
