T403DEFINING TOMORROW

AUSTRALIAN MADE. WORLD’S BEST.

Kenworth’s T403 combines renowned productivity, comfort and performance in a value package that will deliver the goods in style, day in, day out.

The T403 utilises a set back front axle with an optimal bumper to back of cab dimension. Developed as a purpose built aerodynamic solution for intrastate and

interstate distribution it is ideal for single trailer, some vocational 19m B-Double and rigid applications.

THE PERFECT COMBINATION

DEFINING VALUE

Room to move and a big heart.

DEFINING CONTROL WITH STYLE

Designed to deliver maximum driver confidence.

THE WORLD’S BEST REST STOP

The sleekest looking truck in Australia also provides superior levels of comfort.

Enjoy home away from home comfort with “walk through” sleepers that offer unsurpassed levels of accommodation comfort.

The T403 can be optioned with a range of Kenworth’s traditional sleeper boxes. Configurations range from the IT flat roof 28” sleeper to an aerodyne 36”, offering cupboards with hanging space, full head room and ample storage.

The integrated cabin and sleeper have studded soft trim in a range of colours and Kenworth’s unsurpassed appointments.

Superior levels of driver comfort and safety.

DEFINING THE PERFECT SOLUTION

With its aerodynamic styling and class leading cooling performance, the

Kenworth T403 offers extra peace of mind to transport professionals by

reducing the drag on their fuel dollars.

The T403 is available with the Eaton “Ultrashift Plus” automated transmission.

This two-pedal transmission delivers significant improvements in performance,

superior acceleration and low speed manoeuvrability with its revolutionary

Electronic Clutch Actuation (ECA).

The T403 offers the choice of a Cummins ISX or ISMe5 engine and a spacious and comfortable cab with wrap around dash. An optimised bumper-to-back-of-cab dimension and set back front axle also offer additional payload advantages in an aerodynamic package.

BEST SOLUTION REAR AXLE SUSPENSIONS

To get power to the ground, we offer a selection of proven drivetrain components for the T403 from the best suppliers including transmissions from Eaton, coupled with drive axles from Meritor and Dana.

DRIVETRAIN

All Kenworth suspensions are of the highest quality with proven performance and reliability. Unique to Kenworth is the eight air bag AIRGLIDE suspension system. Renowned for its excellent ride and handling it is popular across a wide range of applications from general freight to fuel haul.

Kenworth trucks can be built to a variety of wheelbases with components mounted onto the frame to suit your needs.

We optimise the strength and weight distribution of each frame by locating the various parts so that loads are evenly spread and fuel tank capacity can be maximised.

CHASSIS FRAME LAYOUT FUEL TANKS

Australia has some of the toughest operating conditions in the world, so Kenworth tests to maximum loads, temperatures and humidity across the extremes of our continent.

This is why the class leading cooling package minimises engine fan cycling even in the harshest conditions.

COOLING

At Kenworth trucks we design our own fuel and oil tanks. Engineering fuel tanks specifically for an application can deliver cost savings by setting up a truck so you can refuel where you want to. Aluminium tanks are standard for weight saving. Just another example of Kenworth’s unmatched attention to design, function and quality.

EMISSIONS

To meet strict ADR80/03 regulations Kenworth offers the T403 with the choice of either (1) SCR (Cummins ISMe5) or (2) EGR and DPF (Cummins ISX).

SCR employs DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) which is added to the exhaust gas to significantly reduce particulate matter. EGR recirculates the exhaust gas back through the engine before a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) also significantly reduces the particulate matter.

With the choice of a horizontally mounted EGP or three DPF locations, Kenworth can work with you to find the most suitable solution for your application.

MAIN SPECIFICATIONS AND OPTIONS

DEFINING SAFETY

ABS ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEMPrevents wheel lock-up when the vehicle is over braked, often reducing stopping distances. Vehicles can retain directional stability

and steerability, even under emergency braking on slippery road surfaces. ABS also reduces the danger of jackknifing in the case

of vehicle combinations.

DTC DRAG TORQUE CONTROLPrevents the driven wheels from compression locking on a slippery surface by raising engine revs to assist with vehicle stability.

ATC AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROLPrevents wheel spin under acceleration as the drive torque exceeds the drive tyres to road surface adhesion. The ATC system

communicates with the engine ECU to reduce engine power or will apply the brakes to the drive wheels depending on the low

traction event.

ESP ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMHelps to restore vehicle stability through the use of ABS, ATC, steering direction and vehicle directional stability information. Steering

angle, yaw, suspension pressure and brake application pressure sensors monitor the intended vehicle directional control versus actual

vehicle movement. ESP intervenes by applying individual wheel brakes, or reduced engine torque when required to enhance vehicle

stability. The system is compatible with multi trailer combinations.

TRM TRAILER RESPONSE MANAGEMENTElectronic trailer brake actuation (for EBS compatible trailers only) for improved trailer braking response to assist with reduced

stopping distances.

ACB ACTIVE CRUISE WITH BRAKESHelps assist with accident avoidance, by using on board computers and radar to engage the engine and wheel braking systems if

other vehicles on the road enter unsafe distances from the truck.

At Kenworth, protecting the driver,

vehicle, payload, and other road users

against unexpected hazards has always

been a paramount consideration.

Safety is built into every T403 through

Application Engineering, a design

approach that also delivers optimal

payloads, reliability and productivity.

With the addition of Kenworth Electronic

Brake Safety Systems (EBSS) the result

is not only safety and proven productivity

IT’S ALL ABOUT LOOKING AFTER THE MOST IMPORTANT PAYLOAD OF ALL

gains through being engineered to

application, but enhanced accident

avoidance from the comprehensive

list of EBSS options available.
