From the video, it looks to me like a Detroit. My understanding is that most heavy-duty trucks can be ordered with a variety of engines. You can even get a truck with and engine made by the truck manufacturer's competetor--even if the truck manifacturer makes a similar engine.

My point was that it seemed strange to have all this talk about FE, and basically no mention of the engine--which burns the fuel.
