Florida Detroit Diesel-Allison, Inc. (FDDA) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Detroit Diesel Corporation. It is the authorized distributor for Detroit Diesel, Mercedes-Benz Engines, MTU/DDC Power Generation, MTU, and Allison products and services. FDDA has been in varying stages of development for the past twenty-nine years. The origins of our company stem from two different organizations and their eventual consolidation in 1997. George Engine Company purchased the facilities operated by General Motors in Miami, Florida. After that Mr. Dwayne House bought the company and renamed it Key Power. These facilities were in operation under the name of Key Power from 1971 to 1989 and included the Miami and Ft.Myers branches.

In 1989 it was acquired by Detroit Diesel Corporation and took on the name of Florida Detroit Diesel-Allison, Inc. The first expansion was to open a branch in Ft. Pierce. In 1971 Western Diesel Services, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri purchased the operation owned by General Motors in Jacksonville, Florida. This new company came to be known as Coastal Power Products, with branches in Jacksonville, Tampa, Sanford, and Ocala and remained in operation from 1971 to 1992. Detroit Diesel Corporation then purchased the company and it became Florida Detroit Diesel- Allison North. In 1995/96 the Fort Lauderdale, and Orlando facilities were opened. The "State of the Art " operation in Fort Lauderdale offers complete sales, service, parts, and training for both Detroit Diesel and MTU products. The Orlando facility comes equipped with 20 service bays. In 1997, these two Detroit Diesel Distributorships merged to form a single company with a franchised territory covering the State of Florida. Today we operate nine (9) branches: Ft. Lauderdale, Ft. Myers, Ft. Pierce, Jacksonville, Miami, Ocala, Orlando, Panama City and Tampa. In 2000 DaimlerChrysler purchased Detroit Diesel Corporation creating the worlds largest medium and heavy duty engine manufacturer in the world. We currently have 400 employees statewide, which includes 250 skilled technicians and parts personnel. With its modern fleet of 107 Service vehicles and a $10,000,000 parts inventory, Florida Detroit Diesel-Allison can satisfy all of our customers' needs.
