Reasons to consider a diesel engine instead of a gasoline engine:
Plan to use your Chevy van for towing, or expect to rack up a lot of miles? If so, the available Duramax Diesel may suit your business requirements best.
- Torque: A diesel engine makes easy work of accelerating and maintaining speed on steep grades when hauling heavy loads or towing.
- Durability: Duramax Diesel is built with dependability and heavy-duty use in mind. For example, its oil-spray piston cooling and engine oil cooler help keep temperatures consistent over a wide operating range.
- Efficiency: Diesel combustion is inherently more efficient than a gasoline engine. This, combined with the higher energy density of diesel fuel, produces more energy from every gallon of fuel burned.
- Civilized Performance: Duramax is advanced engineered for powerful, quiet and efficient performance. It utilizes innovative design features, such as a high-pressure, common rail fuel injection system designed by Bosch™ and optimized to reduce both emissions and combustion noise.
