Additionally, all of the ADAS packages include Autonomous Emergency Braking(AEB), Multi-Lane Autonomous Emergency Braking, Highway Departure Braking (HDB), Stationary Vehicle Braking (SVB), Lane Departure Warning, and Bendix Blindspotter Side Object Detection with Bendix Fusion. Beyond Bendix Fusion, each package also has Tire Pressure Monitoring.

More specifically, ADAS PRO and ADAS PREMIER each have Lane Keeping Assist, which helps keep a truck and trailer in its lane, and Torque Assisted Steering to let drivers turn the steering wheel with less effort. ADAS PREMIER also features Kenworth’s DigitalVision Mirrors plus all of the offerings in the previous two packages.

The T880S Performance hood

Meanwhile, the new hood option is compatible with the Cummins X15 engine and has a set-forward front axle, increased length, and a larger cooling module (now 1,440 sq.-in.).

“For our customers that require maximum truck power for their operation or those seeking more powertrain options for the T880S, this hood allows for more customers to utilize the T880S in new ways,” said Kyle Kimball, Kenworth director of marketing. “By allowing more powertrain options for the T880S Performance Hood, customers with the highest power or payload demands can take advantage while still maintaining excellent visibility with the sloped hood design.”

The T880S Performance hood offers a 121.7” BBC and a 31.5” bumper setting with a standard bumper. It allows for a 16” increase in axle spread/outer bridge for a similar overall length and features an aluminum mesh grille in polished or black finish, new stainless steel fender closeout panels, and air intake spears finished in chrome or black. For added durability, the hood is constructed with Metton material and uses 5-piece construction for faster repair access.
