Daihatsu Motor – further nonroad diesel engines: the collective page for three-cylinder DM850D and DM950D units outside the named series, 12 to 25 kW, naturally aspirated and DT turbocharged, model year 2012
Daihatsu Motor Co., headquartered in Ikeda near Osaka, is best known today as the small-car brand of the Toyota group; US EPA certification data also lists series of small industrial diesel engines, gathered on this page because the register could not assign them to any named main series. The 38 variants split into the DM850D and DM950D designations; the suffix “DT” marks the 13 turbocharged DM950DT variants, while the remaining 25 DM850D and DM950D models are naturally aspirated – reflected too in the two EPA engine families, CDHXL.9532D1 for the naturally aspirated units and CDHXL.9532DT for the turbocharged version.

The register lists 38 variants here rated from 12 to 25 kW at 2,500 to 3,600 rpm, all three-cylinder inline engines with a bore of 68 to 72 mm and a constant 78 mm stroke. Maximum torque ranges from 41.4 to 74.8 Nm at 2,400 to 2,800 rpm. Among emission tiers, Tier 4 (Final or Phase-in) leads with 25 variants ahead of Interim Tier 4 with 13, matching the power categories of 8 to 19 kW (25 variants) and 19 to 37 kW (13 variants); all 38 engines are from model year 2012.
Engines of this size drive small generator sets, compressors, pumps and light construction equipment, where a compact, lightweight three-cylinder with simple maintenance is wanted; the turbocharged DT variant covers the upper power band up to 25 kW, while the naturally aspirated units stay below 19 kW.
When buying used, naturally aspirated units call for a check of cold-start behaviour and glow plug condition, while the turbocharged DT version additionally needs boost pressure and turbocharger condition checked; oil consumption and the tightness of crankshaft seals and the valve cover also matter. Since all engines date from model year 2012, running hours are worth checking too. Spare parts run through the Daihatsu dealer network.
