The PACCAR MX-11 engine is now available with the PACCAR transmission, the company announced. The transmission was already available with PACCAR’s MX-13 engine, and will now be able to be paired with its lighter-weight counterpart. According to PACCAR, the automated manual transmission is designed to work seamlessly with PACCAR engines and axles to increase fuel economy and truck performance.
“When combined with the MX-11 engine, the PACCAR automated transmission offers superior drivability, with industry-leading maneuverability at low speeds,” said Wesley Slavin, on-highway marketing manager for Peterbilt Motors Co. “The transmission is the best in class for both drivability and weight, making it the best choice for heavy-duty fleets and vocational trucks like the Model 567 and 520.”
