DEFINING APPLICATION ENGINEERING

With its aerodynamic lines and class leading cooling performance, the Kenworth T409 offers extra peace of mind to transport professionals by reducing the drag on their fuel dollars.

The T409 also sees the introduction of 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).

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.

REAR AXLE SUSPENSIONS

To get power to the ground, we offer a selection of proven drivetrain components for the T4 Series from the best suppliers available including transmissions from Eaton, coupled with drive axles from Meritor and Dana.

DRIVETRAIN

Because Australia has some of the toughest operating conditions in the world, Kenworth has been careful to test 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

www.kenworth.com.au

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

At Kenworth we design our own fuel and oil tanks. Engineering tank packages for a variety of applications delivers flexibility to operators by offering multiple fuel and oil tank combinations.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)

With the choice of 3 DPF locations, Kenworth

can work with you to find the most suitable for

your application.

No actions are required by the engine or the

driver during passive regeneration to keep the

filter clean.

Cummins’ testing in Australia has shown that

the maintenance interval to remove the ash will

be 500,000 kilometres in most applications.

Speak with you local dealer for further

information.

Aluminium tanks are standard for weight saving, or you can select steel tanks for severe applications. Just another example of Kenworth’s unmatched attention to design, function and quality.

DEFINING SAFETYIt’s all about looking after the most important payload of all

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 T409 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 gains through being engineered to application, but enhanced accident avoidance from the comprehensive list of EBSS options available.
