The PACCAR Automated Transmission completes PACCAR’s proprietary powertrain puzzle, after the release of the 40,000-lb. PACCAR axle last year and the continued evolution of the PACCAR MX engine lineup. Designed for line-haul applications up to 110,000 lbs gross vehicle weight, the PACCAR Automated Transmission is spec’d for engine ratings up to five hundred and ten horse power and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque.
I caught up with Kyle Quinn and Jorge Medina to get the details on the transmission’s design and Peterbilt’s powertrain plan going forward. Buckle up as I get my hands on the new Peterbilt integrated powertrain and dive into the specs on this episode of On the Road.
