New Mixer Configuration Debuts at World of Concrete

A Kenworth 7-axle, T880 short hood mixer with a PACCAR MX-11 engine is being showcased at the 2016 World of Concrete Show, Feb. 2-5 in Las Vegas.

The mixer represents a new T880 configuration developed to provide contractors with a highly maneuverable 80,000-pound federal bridge formula truck that can haul up to 12 yards of concrete.

The PACCAR MX-11 engine is an important key to this new T880 mixer configuration. The engine is 400 pounds lighter than 13-liter engines for enhanced payload capacity and has ample low-end power for applications requiring less than 450 horsepower.

The T880 features a 430-hp PACCAR MX-11 with 1,550 lb-ft of torque, Kenworth Diamond VIT interior for driver comfort, and for the first time, an Allison 4700RDS 7-speed automatic transmission in the 116.5-inch short hood T880.
