Hino Motors has developed the new K13C, a 12.9 liter six cylinder in-line, heavy duty diesel engine that provides superior fuel consumption, extra low noise and excellent driveability together with a lower exhaust emissions. The initial K13C engine, whose production began in 1986 and about 30,000 units have been produced, is recognized all over the world for its good reliability and fuel economy. The new K13C is using the basic design and manufacturing/assembly processes of the previous one but includes a common-rail type fuel injection system with enhanced electronic controls to meet future regulation and customer requirements. Major design changes consist of a new cylinder head, a new front gear train, a new air intake system, a new turbocharger, a new compression brake system and electronic control module. The optimization of the intake system includes a new intake port and an electronically controlled inertia charging system.
