Hi Folks:

I just read that Detroit Diesel has announced it is getting back in the US bus/coach business. To me that is great news as I always felt that DD was the class of the business with a bullet-proof product. The 60 Series was a Newell staple for so many years until going with the higher HP Cat's and now Cummins to handle the added weight of the newer coaches. I wonder if the DD16's at 600 HP could be used in future Newell's in lieu of Cummins.
