Kenworth has introduced three new battery-electric medium-duty trucks: the T280E, T380E and T480E. All three are available for order now and bring a new level of technology, efficiency, and driver comfort to zero emission transportation. The platform is available in 4×2 and 6×4 truck or tractor, has up to 280 miles of range, offers two battery string configuration options, and has up to 450kW/605hp peak eMotor Power Ratings.
“The launch of our new medium-duty, battery-electric lineup demonstrates Kenworth’s dedication to helping customers transition to zero-emission transportation with practical, powerful and flexible solutions,” says Kevin Haygood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “The T280E, T380E and T480E are engineered to deliver the performance and dependability our customers expect from Kenworth, while offering the benefits of reduced emissions and quiet operation.”
Each model features factory-installed options for high-voltage ePTO ports which can be used to power equipment, a mechanical ePTO or body configurations in conjunction with aftermarket body upfitters. In the cab, the trucks are similar to combustion models with the Kenworth SmartWheel and a 15-inch digital display.
