Features may include:

• PROFIT-TUNED PERFORMANCE

The sleek new exterior of the T680 Next Gen incorporates innovative aerodynamic design features meant to squeeze every possible mile from every gallon. Offering you up to six percent in fuel savings from day one.

• CUTTING EDGE EXTERIOR STYLING

Wind-cheating features begin up-front with a narrower hood and grille design that cuts neatly through the air. A-pillar turning vanes create less wake next to side windows and smooths airflow around the cab. Integrated front air dams, redesigned chassis fairings, and optional 28-inch side extenders work in tandem to keep airflow tight to the truck. Tandem axle fairings combine with new wind-slick wheel covers to reduce turbulence around the rear wheels and on to the trailer.

• NEXT GENERATION T680 PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Kenworth started the journey by integrating engineering teams, aerodynamic experts and the styling department to push the boundaries of truck design and continued the development by involving over 100 truck drivers to produce the Next Generation T680.

• NEXT GEN SMARTWHEEL

Places the most important vehicle controls – including Digital Display features – instantly at hand with tactile, eyes-on-the-road function choices.

• ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL

Reads traffic conditions via front-facing radar sensor and modulates the throttle and the brakes to keep your truck at a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it.

• COLLISION MITIGATION

Detects when the truck may be about to collide with another vehicle or object, alerts the driver and takes pre-emptive braking action — when necessary — to avoid or considerably reduce the severity of a crash.
