Kenworth T610

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Kenworth T610 is a heavy duty conventional prime mover built by Kenworth in Australia and unveiled in December 2016 together with the set forward axle T610SAR. Kenworth Australia traced its design to 2010, when its engineers began working beside a United States program to judge whether a new Australian truck was feasible, and the project received its green light in mid-2012. The cab is 2.1 metres wide, almost 300 millimetres wider than the cab it replaced, and was pushed 300 millimetres forward over the engine to meet Australian length laws. Kenworth called it the largest single investment in product development it had ever made in Australia, with more than 100,000 design hours and ten million kilometres of testing. Power comes from a Cummins X15 Euro V engine.
