KenworthKenworth has added Dana’s Spicer® AdvanTEK® 40 tandem axle for new Class 8 pickup and delivery, regional haul and linehaul trucks equipped with the Kenworth AG380 or AG400L suspension.

“The Spicer AdvanTEK 40 tandem axle is an excellent, fuel-efficient addition for new Kenworth Class 8 trucks,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director.

The vehicle incorporates leading design solutions, such as innovative gearing, which can help increase fuel economy, improve reliability, reduce vehicle weight, and decrease total ownership costs, according to Dana.

The axle was developed with some of the industry’s fastest axle ratios to handle higher torque and lower engine RPM at cruise speed. Axle ratios of 2.26, 2.39, 2.53, 2.64 and 2.79 are available on Kenworth Class 8 trucks, including the T680 and T880.
