    Default Detroit Diesel Back?

    I wonder what this means for Prevost going forward? I am sure that they will want to use the Volvo engine, but will the market demand DD?

    Does anyone know which engine is in the latest Prevost shell to roll off of the assembly line? DD or Volvo?

    When are they scheduled to start with the Volvo engines?

    Hi Tuga. Detroit Diesel was scheduled to stop after 2010. i don't think Prevost has started introducing Volvos as yet.

    I have seen the Volvo engine in a couple of 09 entertainer buses. It is smaller than the DD and sits at an odd angle.
