Recently we had the pleasure of hosting some of our most valued customers at CMV Truck Centre, for what was a fantastic evening showcasing two highly anticipated new Kenworth models: the all-new T360 and T410.

Earlier this quarter, Kenworth Australia commenced a tour program travelling across the PACCAR network, following the debut of both vehicles at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show. Regional Sales Manager for Kenworth is Anthony Spence-Fletcher, who led the tour to Adelaide last week. Supported by our supplier partners, Cummins, Knorr-Bremse and PACCAR Parts, the team at CMV Truck Centre hosted the Launch Event and Drive Day.

Our customers were presented with the opportunity to meet with our local and interstate product partners, to experience the brand new T360 and T410’s on the road here at home and their feedback was incredibly positive.

Many enhancements to both T360 and the T410 resulted directly from customer consultation, so our team were incredibly pleased to celebrate such a positive development outcome with our SA transport operators who will greatly benefit from these improvements.

The 2.1m wide cab, launched on the Kenworth T610 model in December 2016, is now available on Kenworth’s new T360 and T410 models. The enhancements found in the T610, includeinga roomier cab interior, improved visibilities and an advanced climate control system specifically engineered for Australian conditions, have also been carried over to the new models.

The new models feature a wide range of important enhancements including wider application flexibility through the shorter bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) length and improved safety features.

The tight turning circle and shorter BBC (a reduction of 100mm) measurements will make the T360 suitable to urban and intrastate operations. Available in 6x4, 8x4 and 10x4 axle configurations the T360 and T360A (the agitator specification) offer optimum payload and maximum concrete carrying capabilities, respectively. The T360 models are available with the Cummins ISLe5 engine rated from 280 up to 400 horsepower and either an Allison 3000 or 4000 series transmission, as well as Eaton Manual or Eaton UltraShift Plus transmissions.

The all-new Kenworth T410 is four inches shorter than the current T409 and has the versatility to operate in vocational, intrastate and interstate distribution as a rigid, single or multi trailer configuration. With a set-back front axle and an optimal bumper-to back-of-cab dimension of 2,845mm (112 inches), the T410 can be rated up to 70 tonnes (GCM) making it suitable for PBS and tipper and dog operations. The T410 offers a choice of three sleeper cab options, a 600mm aero, 760mm mid-roof and 860mm aero sleeper cab. The PACCAR MX-13 is available in the T410 in either 460 or 510 horsepower ratings.

Kenworth is a brand renowned for delivering exceptional performance, quality, durability and productivity, and we are pleased to be able to now offer South Australian transport operators these outstanding new models.
