Kenworth Truck Company releases the T380. 

Kenworth Continues Expansion of Duty Models

Kenworth is expanding availability of its popular PACCAR TX-12 PRO automated transmission, bringing it to several models inside the company’s medium duty line. Starting from Class 7 to light Class 8, the vocational transmission is offered on the Kenworth T380 and T480 when matched with the PACCAR PX-9 engine.

The PACCAR PX-9, with certainly one of the best power-to-weight ratios within the industry, will be spec’d with peak horsepower ranging between 260- and 380 on-highway and for vocational use, with as much as 450 hp with 1,250-pound feet of torque for fire service vehicles.

“Versatility and sturdiness are what the Kenworth T380 and T480 are all about,” said Kevin Haygood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “For patrons preferring an AMT over an automatic option, the TX-12 PRO is the answer. It gives customers great performance and toughness once they use the T380 or T480 in demanding vocational applications.”

The PACCAR TX-12 PRO is designed for rugged service and low-end drive performance applications like dump truck, snowplow, or in chassis-mounted tanker configuration. Moreover, the TX-12 PRO features an Extreme Duty clutch for low-speed maneuvering, and a Rock Free mode to assist trucks get unstuck in mud or sand. It has an off-highway calibration tuned for changing soil conditions. The 12-speed gear set provides wide ratio coverage, allowing for excellent maneuverability without sacrificing fuel economy at highway speeds.

For those applications requiring a PTO, The TX-12 PRO is offered with dual openings – a bottom mount 8-bolt and 4-bolt rear mount for a combined 95 hp capability.

To watch performance and to make sure a long-life, the transmission and clutch are each equipped with internal oil temperature sensors. Their temperatures will be displayed on the in-cab 7-inch digital display and might provide driver notifications in situations causing excessive temperatures.

Oil maintenance intervals for the TX-12 PRO are 250,000 miles, and the clutch is maintenance-free.

More information on PACCAR transmissions is offered on the PACCAR Powertrain website at https://paccarpowertrain.com/.
