No they do not have the Power of a 16 litre Diesel. A 6.7 litre is pretty gutless pulling 100 tons
Never said a 6.7L could pull 100 tons or that it had the power of the 16L. The picture you posted was of a Mercedes Astro being used to pull a trailer that our class 3 trucks generally pull here. Our pickup truck diesels like the Ram CTD(400hp) Ford PSD(475hp) and the GM L5P(445hp) are rated at higher horsepower than the 326hp base engine power leveled Mercedes OM 470 Actros. That is a fact.
"Engines. The Actros comes with a choice of three powerful
6-cylinder in-line engines complying with the Euro IV/V
emission norm: the 10.7 liter OM 470, the 12.8 liter OM
471 and the 15.6 liter OM 473, designed for low fuel
consumption, maximum longevity and optimal performance.
Both the OM 470 and OM 471 engines are developed on the
basis of tried-and-tested technology and robust
components, providing high torque levels at lower engine
speeds due to its state-of-the-art common-rail injection
system. The OM 470 is available with engine output from
240 kW (326 hp) to 290 kW (394 hp). The OM 471 is
available in power output ratings from 310 kW (421 hp) to
350 kW (476 hp). The newly developed OM 473 engine
ranges from 380 kW (517 hp) to 425 kW (578 hp) and it
combines the best performance with optimized fuel
efficiency"
