Kenworth Offers Lightweight Configuration for T680 Mid-Roof Sleeper
Kenworth Truck has announced the availability of a lightweight configuration for the Kenworth T680 52-inch mid-roof sleeper.
“We exhibited a lightweight spec’d Kenworth T680 52-inch sleeper at this year’s Mid-America Trucking Show, and truck operators were very impressed to find that the scale weight of that truck was close to 15,000 pounds, noted Brett VanVoorhis, Kenworth on-highway marketing manager.
Key weight-reducing components are the 12.9-liter PACCAR MX-13 engine, Eaton Fuller Advantage™ series transmission, Kenworth AG380 suspension, MX optimized hood (119-inch BBC), 6×2 drive axle, rear wide-base single tires, aluminum rear wheels, air disc brakes, and aluminum fifth wheel.
“These weight-savings features for the T680 52-inch mid-roof sleeper offer an excellent opportunity for truck buyers to spec light and increase payload, while operating a quality Kenworth truck with excellent driver comfort in the 2.1-meter wide cab and sleeper,” said VanVoorhis.
