Truck • Trailer • Driver Efficiency

STEPS THAT DRIVERS CAN TAKE TO IMPROVE FUEL ECOMONY AND REDUCE OPERATING COSTS

•drive as constant as possible• Keep your distance to the vehicle in front of you•Avoid unnecessary acceleration•use cruise control whenever possible•Keep the RPMs in the sweet spot of the engine•Always cruise in the highest possible gear•only use extra lighting and other power consumers when needed•Avoid using AC unless necessary•Reduce vehicle cruising speed•Refrain from idling the engine unless absolutely necessary

KENWORTH IDLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

REAL TIME INFORMATION FOR MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

to drive a truck efficiently, you need real-time information – especially true today when drivers must track the performance of fuel, vehicle and safety systems on the go. the new Kenworth driver Performance Center offers, at a glance, everything you need to know about operating in the sweet spot between performance and efficiency. truck diagnostics and performance indicators pop up to alert the driver with real-time feedback. trip details and multi-route comparisons allow them to maximize performance every day.

the 12.9-liter PACCAR MX-13 engine is characterized by its combination of proven technologies and state-of-the-art innovations that improve fuel economy and reduce the cost of ownership. the new PACCAR MX-13 engine’s common rail fuel system maintains injection pressures of 2,500 bar, which helps achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption, emission and noise levels. the result of the 2013 PACCAR MX-13 is improved fuel economy by 3% and a 100 lb weight reduction, meeting the demands of both linehaul and vocational heavy duty truck applications.

Intelligence• Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

•the system monitors each individual tire and reports back to the driver the pressures and temperatures•helps maintain optimum pressure which improves fuel economy and reduces the potential for blowouts

• Speed Control Management•engine software that encourages drivers to up-shift at lower RPMs by reducing power (soft limit)•engine software that encourages drivers to drive in top gear by limiting RPM in the one gear below top gear (hard limit)

• Vehicle speed limiters•hard coded speed limiters restrict “lead foots”•Rule of thumb: 0.1 mpg improvement for every 1 mph reduced at highway speeds

• Engine Idle Shutdown•Reduces the amount of idle time, improving overall fuel economy

• Adaptive Cruise•Proximity sensors integrated with the engine and braking system help to maintain a steady distance from traffic while

maintaining the cruise functionality.

to achieve the optimum in fuel economy, trucking companies can no longer view truck and trailer

aerodynamics, powertrains and drivers as individual silos, they all must work together in synergy in order

to maximize vehicle fuel efficiency.  that’s the premise behind developing the Kenworth t680 Advantage;

full vehicle efficiency that provides our customers with the competitive advantage.

with one ‘live’ drive axle, trucks with 6x2 axle configurations can offer significant weight savings as well as fuel economy improvements over that of a truck with a traditional 6x4 axle configuration. the tandem drive axle on a 6x2 axle truck has no inter-axle driveline or rear differential. Because of that, it has fewer gears, and as a result, weighs several hundred pounds lighter and experiences fewer parasitic losses for improved fuel economy. the combination of a 6x2 tandem axle configuration and wide-base tires may improve fuel economy by up to an estimated 10 percent.

Coupled with the 6x2 axle configuration, Kenworth offers the Bendix® etrac™ system. utilizing the Kenworth t680’s ABS and traction control system, suspension air bag pressures are automatically adjusted to transfer weight from the non-drive to the drive axle when the system recognizes wheel slip. this provides improved fuel efficiency in a lighter package combined with on-demand traction.

the eaton ultraShift® PLuS automated transmission offers true product integration with proprietary calibrations that match shift parameters precisely to the PACCAR MX-13 engine. this seamless communication between engine and transmission makes it easier and less fatiguing for drivers to keep the truck operating at peak efficiency – maximizing performance and fuel economy.
