“The Kenworth T880E marks a groundbreaking milestone in Kenworth’s history as we bring to market the first Class 8 battery-electric solution built for vocational applications.” — Kevin Haygood, Kenworth Assistant General Manager, Sales & Marketing

Built for Vocational Work. Zero Emissions.

The T880E is offered in both set-back and set-forward front-axle configurations, with the same multi-piece hood construction as the T880 — so vocational fleets get the configurability they’re used to in a zero-emission platform.

Designed for:

• Dump & bulk haul
• Mixer & ready-mix
• Refuse & recycling
• Logging & heavy haul
• Oilfield & construction

PACCAR ePowertrain

The T880E is driven by a ground-up PACCAR-developed ePowertrain with an integrated 3-speed transmission and central drive midship eMotor — enabling wheelbase flexibility, lift axle installations, and vocational-friendly BEV body integration.
