Kenworth C508

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Kenworth C508 is a heavy-duty bonneted truck in the C5 Series, developed and built in Australia by Kenworth Australia for the harshest operating conditions, including mining, logging and off-highway haulage. The brochure describes optional 36 or 50 inch modular sleeper boxes, a two piece flat glass windscreen, a heavy steel bumper with integrated towing points, large cyclonic air cleaners for outback dust, and Caterpillar or Cummins engines of up to 625 hp. Wikipedia lists the C508 as the largest of the 2008 conventional models. Trucksplanet says the range was renumbered C509 in 2010.
