Kenworth Launches T680, Boosts Fuel Economy Up To 5 Percent
Kenworth is taking fuel efficiency to new heights with the introduction of its new Kenworth T680 Advantage, engineered to increase fuel economy up to five percent.
The T680 Advantage features a special factory-installed aerodynamic package along with the optimized powertrain combination of the PACCAR MX-13 engine integrated with the Eaton Fuller AdvantageTM 10-speed automated transmission.
The aerodynamic treatments include longer side extenders for the T680 76-inch sleeper, lower cab fairing extenders, front air dam, aerodynamic mud flaps, rear fairing without steps coupled with an air deflector, exhaust cut out covers, and optional wheel covers for drive tires.
The company noted that when it combines “the PACCAR MX-13 engine, Eaton Fuller Advantage transmission, weight-saving 6×2 axle configuration and wide-base tires, drivers may receive up to a 5 percent fuel efficiency enhancement over a standard T680 with the 2013 PACCAR MX-13 engine.”
Other fuel-efficient specs for the T680 Advantage include speed control management that utilizes speed limiters; a tire pressure monitoring system to keep tires at optimum PSI; and the new Kenworth Idle Management System, which eliminates the need to idle in order to run air conditioning.
