Kenworth Truck Co. has announced the addition of a set-forward front axle configuration to its lineup of T880 trucks. The new configuration, named the T880S, is designed for fleet and truck operators in ready-mix, dump and mobile crane applications where every incremental pound of payload delivered contributes directly to the bottom line, the company said.
“The new T880S advances Kenworth’s heritage of providing fleets and truck operators with industry-leading, rugged and reliable vocational trucks that deliver excellent performance,” said Jason Skoog, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “Available with a 114-in. BBC and 28-in. bumper setting, tare weight is minimized, weight distribution is optimized, Federal Bridge Formula can easily be met, and body installations are enhanced.”
