DMAX (engines)

DMAX of Moraine, Ohio, is a manufacturer of diesel engines for trucks. DMAX, originally announced in December 1998, is a 60-40 joint venture^[1] between and operated by General Motors and Isuzu. Diesel engine production started in July 2000.^[2] The company's Duramax V8 engine has been extremely successful for GM, raising that company's diesel pickup market share to 30% in 2002, up from approximately 5% in 1999.^[3]

The DMAX plant was built on a land grant site adjacent to a GM plant that made the 6.2/6.5 L Diesel V8. Production of that engine began in 1982.

The plant is planning to increase production from 580 engines a day, in 2017, to 700 engines a day.^[4]
