The Kenworth C540 is the largest prime mover Kenworth has built, designed and manufactured in Australia for off-highway operators in the mining sector. Kenworth's specification sheet says it was developed from the C510 platform to take a Cummins QSK19 LTA series 19 litre engine producing 650 hp and 2275 lb-ft of torque, installed with an Allison H6610 six speed automatic transmission. It is offered in one basic arrangement, 3.3 metres wide for use on mine haul roads, and the sheet says that with powered trailers it has the capacity to gross 500 tonne. The radiator header tank is remote mounted on the hood support collar and a continuously operating hydraulic fan supplies the extra cooling. As with other Kenworth Australia trucks, each C540 is custom engineered, so specific characteristics vary by site, route and duty cycle.
