Kenworth adds new ADAS features to T680
Kenworth has added new features to its advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) on the T680.
The latest offering includes Bendix Fusion with adaptive cruise control stop and auto go, which maintains a safe following distance in stop-and-go traffic, bringing the truck to a complete stop when necessary, and holding it in place.
The truck will automatically resume its forward progress without driver intervention when it’s safe to do so. A new highway departure braking to zero feature, meanwhile, will alert the driver and apply braking when the truck begins to leave the road.
“Driver assistance systems play a key role in making commercial trucks easier and less fatiguing to operate,” said Jim Walenczak, Kenworth assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “These new features will complement safe driving behavior and provide drivers more convenience operating in cruise control.”
Kenworth says its latest ADAS system boasts improved adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, and more.
