Design, development and variant notes
D24 is a naturally aspirated, indirect-injection inline-six diesel; D24T adds a turbocharger and D24TIC adds charge-air cooling. Wikipedia gives all three a 2,383 cc displacement.
The design uses an iron block, aluminium head, belt-driven single overhead camshaft and Bosch VE mechanical distributor injection pump with prechambers. Applications and power figures differ across the three versions.
