The Volvo D13 is an inline 13 litre diesel engine. It boast high fuel-efficiency and high performance with excellent low-end torque for improved drivability. The new variable geometry turbo also makes the engine very responsive while improving fuel economy.

The D13 is available with Volvos I-VEB engine brake. At 1500 rpm the I-VEB puts out 310 braking hp. At 2200 rpm, it absorbs 450 hp. The I-VEB is controlled by a new brake stalk switch, allowing three engine brake increments.

An oil drain interval of up to 35,000 miles helps in reducing operating costs. The Volvo D13 engine delivers a reliable, cost-effective and powerful solution—in a light, high-performance package—for a wide variety of applications. The 435 hp model is used in Prevost's coaches.

To meet EPA 2007, the D13 uses cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a partculate filter. To further reduce NOx emmisions to meet EPA 2010, the engine will use selective catalytic reduction (SCR).
