Detroit DD15

New engine that R&D supposedly cost 1.5 billion to be used primarily for OTR trucks.

It has one turbo charger and one turbine AKA HX52 turbine wheel that directly drives the flywheel via what looked like the starter gear and a reduction gear. The direct drive turbine is supposed to be good for around 50 Hp.

Check January Diesel Power Magazine.

Edit:

The engine is also using an iron-composite head and a hollow alluminium cam shaft. Can also come with Jake brake OEM.
