For more than 50 years, PACCAR has delivered more than one million engines globally, providing innovative solutions and an unwavering commitment to superior customer service and support. More information on PACCAR Engines and the PACCAR Engine Company can be found at PACCAR Engines.
Superior fuel economy is achieved using precise fuel management controlled by the PACCAR Electronic Control Module. A newly introduced variable displacement oil pump and a variable speed coolant pump assist in parasitic load reduction to improve fuel economy and enhance serviceability. The PACCAR MX-13 engine's common rail system maintains injection pressures of 2,500 bar, which helps achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption, emission and noise levels
The MX-13 is the first commercial diesel engine to use Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) in both the cylinder block and head. CGI is lighter and stronger than traditional gray iron and offers weight-sensitive users excellent horsepower-to-weight ratio to optimize payload.
The distinctive MX-13 crankshaft reduces weight and increases power for quicker acceleration and smoother overall operation. The single piston air compressor reduces weight and lessens noise for a more enjoyable customer experience.
