When you’re in the concrete business, power isn’t just under the hood. It’s in every decision you make on the job. The equipment you run, the and the weather you face all demand performance that doesn’t quit.
That’s why Oshkosh® S-Series™ front discharge mixer continues to evolve, giving fleet managers more flexibility than ever before. With the addition of the Detroit® DD13® engine supported by Deutz, and the continued availability of the Cummins® X12, Oshkosh S-Series now offers two proven ways to power your operations. Both are built for the tough, time-sensitive world of concrete delivery.
An engine is the driving force behind every concrete mixer’s performance. It influences how a truck accelerates, climbs, handles heavy loads and manages fuel efficiency. It also affects how easily it can be serviced and maintained over time.
But not every fleet faces the same demands. By offering two proven engine options, Oshkosh S-Series gives customers the flexibility to match their power solution to their specific operating needs. The Oshkosh S-Series lineup delivers performance built around real-world use.
The Detroit DD13 is the newest engine option available in the Oshkosh S-Series front discharge mixer and Trainer Cab, bringing the proven power and reliability the DD13 is known for to the lineup.
Backing this engine is Deutz’s extensive service network, which includes 12 Deutz-owned service centers, more than 1,000 service partner locations and 42 traveling technicians. This broad coverage ensures customers have access to expert support wherever their work takes them. The result helps control downtime, promote fast service and ensures confidence that your truck is ready to perform when the day begins.
The DD13 will be available through 2029, giving customers long-term flexibility as emissions standards continue to evolve. Its ability to utilize proven EPA 2021 aftertreatment technology means fleets can continue operating with systems they already know and trust while maintaining compliance well into the future. This extended support window brings stability to long-term fleet planning and reduces the uncertainty that often comes with changing regulations.
In addition, Oshkosh S-Series service technicians are authorized to perform light warranty work on the engines. That added capability allows customers to handle these service needs directly through Oshkosh, keeping trucks on the road.
The Cummins X12 has long been a trusted power option in the Oshkosh® S-Series™ lineup, recognized for its dependable performance and proven durability in demanding concrete delivery environments. It’s built for the real pace of the job, with early mornings, tight schedules and long days that require consistent, reliable power.
Maintenance is simplified through the Cummins global service network, offering broad coverage, quick access to parts and expert technicians wherever work happens. The X12 is also designed for easy serviceability, with accessible components that manage downtime and keep fleets productive.
Whether hauling heavy loads across long routes or managing multiple short trips throughout the day, the Cummins X12 delivers a combination of performance, responsiveness and dependability that concrete professionals can count on.
Whether powered by a Detroit DD13 or a Cummins X12, every Oshkosh S-Series front discharge mixer and Trainer Cab are built on the same foundation of Oshkosh innovation, engineering and dependability. The choice of engine does not change what the truck stands for. It simply gives customers more control over how that power is delivered.
At Oshkosh, we understand that no two fleets are alike. The Oshkosh S-Series front discharge mixer is built to meet customers where they are today and to grow with where they are headed tomorrow.
Adding the Detroit DD13 supported by Deutz isn’t just about a new engine. It’s about providing customers with options, adaptability and partnership. It’s about helping fleets stay productive, efficient and confident no matter what challenges lie ahead.
From city streets to rural pours, from early mornings to late finishes, Oshkosh S-Series continues to deliver on one simple promise: power that works as hard as you do.
