Key Features & Benefits

Pure power. Real purpose.

The highest-rated 13-liter engine from a North American manufacturer means more power without the weight penalty.

Increased PCP 250 bar

Peak cylinder pressure of 250 bar extracts more energy from fuel, supporting higher compression ratios and greater horsepower without sacrificing durability.

Stronger and lighter engine block

Re-engineered using computer-generated structural analysis, the CGI block and reinforced alloy cylinder head handle higher pressures and temperatures while reducing weight.

Predictive software

Advanced algorithms anticipate driver demands, smoothing engine response and reducing fuel waste.

Command every grade

With up to 633 HP of engine braking (up from 505 HP), you get better grade control and less service brake wear.

Pre-turbine throttle

Delivers over 20% increase in engine braking for stronger, more confident control on steep descents.

Available automated activation

Engine brake activates when the driver removes foot from the accelerator, providing intuitive braking response.

Enhanced brake integration

Combines traditional engine braking with electronic functionality for maximum retarding performance across all conditions.

Built to last. Designed for easy service.

Significant system changes. Zero new maintenance requirements.

No new maintenance intervals

Despite new EATS components, the MP®13 requires no new service intervals, protecting uptime and keeping maintenance costs predictable.

500,000+ mile useful life design

Every component engineered to meet the more than 1/2 million-mile useful life standard without adding service complexity.

Easy DPF access

Individual module serviceability and easy DPF removal so your technicians make replacements and you can get back out on the road.

The MP®13, rebuilt from the inside out.

The all-new MP®13 delivers more power and torque than ever with a completely redesigned combustion system, new wave piston technology, and torque curve that puts peak performance to work as low as 900 RPM. Whatever the haul, whatever the terrain, this engine was built to outperform.

50:03
The flow-optimized exhaust manifold improves thermal insulation while boosting efficiency, power, and overall engine performance.
43:03
The redesigned turbocharger improves airflow, fuel efficiency, and responsiveness across all truck segments.
18:28
The smart Butterfly EGR Valve provides precise emissions control with continuous feedback, reducing NOx while maintaining efficiency.
40:38
The 7-wave piston bowl has been improved with added dividers that split and redirect fuel sprays to improve combustion, reduce soot and CO2, and lower aftertreatment load.
47:45
New torque curve optimization delivers peak torque as low as 900 RPM and sustained through 1,400 RPM, enabling downspeeding, smoother operation, and better fuel economy.

Performance across every application.

No two jobs are the same and the MP®13 is ready for all of them. From highway miles to heavy-duty work cycles, its advanced engine architecture adapts to the demands of every application without compromise.

7X2 Wave Piston

The wave-divider piston bowl splits and redirects fuel sprays for complete combustion, improving efficiency and reducing soot on the aftertreatment system.

Fully Variable Coolant Pump

Available within mDRIVE™ transmissions, this adjusts coolant flow based on real-time operating conditions, reducing parasitic drag and shortening warm-up times for better fuel economy.

New Engine Aftertreatment System

Uses electrically heated elements to reduce soot buildup, extend filter life, and improve emissions compliance.

Low-RPM Torque Delivery

Peak torque at 900 RPM keeps your trucks performing at full strength through demanding duty cycles, delivering the power you need when you need it.

Strengthened Crankshaft

Built for demanding duty cycles and long-term reliability, the upgraded metallurgy and reinforced geometry withstand the additional loads from more powerful, efficient combustion.

Compacted Graphite Iron Block

Greater tensile strength and fatigue resistance than traditional gray iron delivers superior durability under high peak cylinder pressures throughout its 500,000-mile useful life.
