It’s no surprise that people investigating Kenworth T680 trucks are being drawn to that model.  One of Kenworth’s newest models, in just a few years the T680 has turned plenty of heads thanks to its great looks, comfortable interior, and serious technological advances in pursuit of greater fuel efficiency. We’ll explore some Kenworth T680 extra features.

It’s safe to say that the T680 is the most fuel-efficient truck on the road today, beating out competitors – even within Kenworth’s other lines – by 5-10%.   Yet those improvements require almost no loss of power or torque compared to similar Class 8 vehicles.

Beyond the overt technical achievements, however, Pennsylvania Kenworth T680 trucks have a lot of smaller features that make life better for drivers or fleet managers.  So many that it’s hard to even keep track of them all!

Here are just a few of the “hidden” features of the T680.

4 Extra Features of T680 Trucks

Predictive Cruise Control

In most trucks, cruise control is convenient but costly.  Many drivers are discouraged from running on cruise specifically because it tends to decrease gas mileage.  However, that’s not true on the T680!  The cruise control system is linked into the onboard GPS, allowing it to intelligently predict the best use of braking and gas as it traverses hills and curves.

Revolutionary Next-Gen Air Conditioning

A/C is another feature that’s downright necessary for most of the year, but tends to be an energy hog.  Some models even require a second, smaller engine simply to power the A/C.  Yet on the T680, it’s all electrical.  A battery siphons excess power from the engine\wheels, using that stored energy to power the A/C even when the engine is off.  And it only takes around 4-5 hours to fully recharge while on the road.

Smart Driving Encouragement

The onboard navigation system doesn’t merely encourage drivers to drive in fuel-efficient ways – they’re rewarded for it.  The T680 turns gas mileage into a sort of game, awarding video game-style points for using smart energy-saving driving strategies. It even keeps a high score table!

TruckTech+ Diagnostics

It’s unlikely we’ll ever have trucks that never have mechanical problems while on the road, but Pennsylvania Kenworth T680 trucks do a lot to proactively mitigate the damage.  The smart TruckTech+ system keeps in constant touch with the truck’s home base, as well as with nearby Kenworth dealers/servicers.  Should any on-road incidents occur, the details are instantly sent out to minimize downtime and speed up repairs.  It takes Kenworth smart systems to a whole new level.

New Jersey Kenworth T680 Trucks are “The World’s Best” in more ways than one!

When Kenworth calls their trucks “The World’s Best,” they aren’t only referring to the build quality. Kenworth is seeking to make the best trucks for either fleet managers or owner-operators in every possible sense. Including helping them make plenty of financial sense.

There’s nothing cheap about maintaining Class 8 trucks. Kenworth has gone out of their way to make the T680 the most financially-responsible Class 8 on the road.  

Kenworth T680 Trucks Cut Costs

Radical Aerodynamics

Every inch of the T680 has been designed by computer to optimize its aerodynamics.  Even seemingly-inconsequential body parts, like steps and handles, have been crafted to minimize drag.

Multiple Smart Computer Systems

The onboard computers of the T680 monitor truck performance and fuel mileage at all times.  They alert the driver to any issues with the truck or their driving, while encouraging more fuel-efficient methods.  Even the cruise control system is made “smart” by tying it into the GPS for predictive acceleration and braking.

Lightweight Build

The T680 comes stock with PACCAR MX-11 or MX-13 engines, which are made of extremely lightweight materials without compromising strength and power.  Plus, coming soon is the new Cummins X15 engine option, which will be the most fuel-efficient truck engine yet designed.

Lightweight Low-Drag Sleeper Cabs

The T680 has a wide range of add-ons, including five separate cab designs.  Their mid-roof options are designed to reduce both size and weight while still giving drivers plenty of comfort.

Easy Servicing

A T680 was designed with maintenance in mind.  Components were placed with an eye towards making them easy to access for tune-ups and replacements. Thus, reducing the amount of time your Kenworth spends offline for repairs and servicing.

How Does All This Add Up?

While, of course, there are many factors that affect gas mileage and overall costs to operate a vehicle, New Jersey Kenworth T680 trucks have been shown repeatedly to increase fuel mileage by 5-10% compared to similar Class 8 vehicles.  Between that and the other operational benefits the T680 provides, it’s fair to say that a full-time T680 can easily save several thousand dollars per year – at least!

If a fleet has multiple T680s in use, well, those savings can start adding up to some serious money in a very short time.

T680s with Cummins X15 Engines

Computers design the bodies for maximum aerodynamics and superior computer monitoring. Kenworth T680 trucks are embraced, typically by a wide range of fleets and independent owners for their ability to cut on-the-road costs. This makes them tailor-made for the Cummins X15 line. The aim is to create the most economical and fuel-efficient heavy-duty engine available in the market.

Putting Together the Perfect T680 Kenworth to Meet Your Needs

Choose Your Sleeper Cab

Few other truck models offer so many options in cab types.  Along with the standard day cab, there are four separate sleeper options:

• 40″ Flat-top: When size and weight are at a premium, the 40″ sleeper gives you a place to bed down for the night while still maximizing your load size for extra profits.
• 52″ Mid-Roof: A great compromise between size and comfort, the 52″ has room for amenities like a TV and plenty of storage space, and has enough headroom to stand up and stretch.
• 76″ Mid-Roof: You get all the comforts of the full-size sleeper, but weighing 100lb less than the larger option.  
• 76″ High-Roof: If your T680 is going to be your home away from home, this is the option to choose. It’s spacious, with room for eating, sleeping, and entertainment. Never pay for a motel room again!

Pick Your Interior

All T680 interiors are designed to be luxurious and comfortable even for long drives. However, you can also choose between the standard Vantage tan interior, or the professional-looking gray Diamond VIT interior. Gray and tan accents, including wood finish options, help complete the look and make your T680 a place you want to stay.

Add Your Optional Features

If you’re in one of the 76″ sleeper options, you’ve got plenty of room for official first-party features to enhance your drive. These include:

• A sturdy swiveling table, suitable for work or eating, that’s accessible from either the bunk or the passenger seat.
• A wall mount for flat screen TVs up to 23″ above the table.
• An upper storage unit with a tiedown and electrical connections for a microwave or small oven.
• A drawer-style refrigerator\freezer which can stock days’ worth of food and drink.

Kenworth has long been an innovator when it comes to truck technologies. New Kenworth trucks continue to improve. Recent improvements include a suite of software tools designed to make driving, management, and diagnosis easier than ever before.

Kenworth Smart Technologies Improve the T880 Experience

The centerpiece of Kenworth’s smart systems is the Kenworth TruckTech+ system.  This computer diagnostic and remote monitoring system is specifically designed to reduce downtime due to technical or mechanical problems, and speed up the time it takes to get the truck back on the road.

Using cellular or other Internet connections, the TruckTech+ system is constantly in contact with your fleet operations and, if you choose, the Kenworth dealer servicing it. Engine fault codes are uploaded for analysis, instantly.

At the same time, the computer system provides instructions for the driver, specifying whether this is a problem which can wait until it’s convenient to fix, or if immediate service is required.

Fleet managers can access the same information. If necessary, they can get in touch with the driver to direct them to the nearest licensed Kenworth repair station to have the problem checked out.

Likewise, that Kenworth dealer can also be notified of the issue.  They’ll be ready and waiting for the truck, and prepared to take action.

And that’s only one truck!  Fleet managers overseeing dozens or hundreds of Kenworth trucks get a software tool that allows them to monitor engine diagnostics from every vehicle on the road.

It’s just one more way that Kenworth truly is The World’s Best in trucking.
