A NEW ENGINE DEMANDED NEW THINKING.

We call it Project Alpha — a new approach to uptime. We pulled in our best powertrain engineers to build upon the most trusted and proven components. The result is the A26.

Go behind the scenes of Project Alpha.

Darren Gosbee

VP, Powertrain Engineering

By launching Project Alpha, Darren Gosbee encouraged his team to utilize the latest thinking, processes, methodologies, and concepts to create an entirely new type of engine with the A26.

See why Darren thinks the A26 is the next step forward.

Jim Nachtman

Lead Design Engineer

In his quest to deliver the greatest uptime possible in an engine, Jim Nachtman and his team followed a simple philosophy – what’s the best it can be and how can we get there. By simplifying many of the systems that go into the A26, they were able to create the lightest engine in the marketplace.

See how Jim helped create a leader in the marketplace.

Millions of miles of testing. Zero left to chance.

Tested and validated to new industry standards.

DYNO

Hundreds of thousands of dyno testing hours

ROAD

Millions of real-world test miles

TEST UNITS

Hundreds of engines tested

See how we put the all-new A26 to the test.

BUILT FROM THE BLOCK UP

Based on the MAN® D26 engine platform, then perfected for the North American market.

Backed by the industry's best in class 2 year, unlimited mile, unlimited hour warranty.

At 2,299lbs, it’s the lightest engine in its class.

The A26’s uniquely sculpted crankcase, which is isolated from the oil pan through a specially designed rubber gasket absorbs vibration and reduces harshness for a quieter in-cab experience.

Up to 5% more fuel-efficient than the 2017 N13 engine.

Features a low friction coating for increased fuel economy and larger piston pin and connecting rod for optimal load distribution and durability.

New Piston Assembly

Features a low friction coating for increased fuel economy and larger piston pin and connecting rod for optimal load distribution and durability.

Higher strength and more fatigue resistant than traditional gray iron because of its thinner walls that reduce weight and maximize payload. Sculpted to dampen vibration for a quieter in-cab experience.

COMPACTED GRAPHITE IRON (CGI) CRANKCASE

Higher strength and more fatigue resistant than traditional gray iron because of it’s thinner walls that reduce weight and maximize payload. Sculpted to dampen vibration for a quieter in-cab experience.

Its new design achieves the perfect balance between weight, strength, cooling and breathing, leading to better uptime and fuel economy.

CYLINDER HEAD

Its new design achieves the perfect balance between weight, strength, cooling and breathing, leading to better uptime and fuel economy.

EGR COOLER

Stainless steel, laser welded, single stage EGR cooler delivers proven durability and performance, in a compact, easy-to-service design.

Gear teeth are produced using a grinding process for smoother, harder gear surfaces that create less noise.

GEAR TRAIN

Gear teeth are produced using a grinding process for smoother, harder gear surfaces that create less noise.

A New Engine Deserves A Best-In-Class Warranty.

We stand behind the A26 with a two-year unlimited hours or miles warranty that lets you take it as far as you want, for as many hours/miles as you want. Go ahead, go the extra mile.

Industry-Leading Service Intervals

The A26's design allows for increased service intervals keeping you on the road longer.

Oil Change: Now up to 70,000 miles.*
*With oil sampling and International Truck approval.

Diesel Particulate Filter Cleaning: Now up to 600,000 miles*
*With greater than 6.5 mpg

BEST-IN-CLASS B10 LIFE

International B10 standards require 90% of all engines to endure 1.2 million miles before an engine rebuild is required.

Specifications

The A26 is packed with efficient muscle and built to set a new standard in its class.
