	Compact, light and powerful and tailored to Australian conditions, the Kenworth T408 Series packs a heavyweight punch. Kenworth’s T408 Series provide big truck performance and light weight in shorter lengths with a choice of powerful engines. T408SAR variant has been optimised with its set forward front axle dimension ideal for 19m B-Double and Quad Dog applications.
Powerful low emission performance From 1 January 2008, all trucks manufactured for Australia have to meet the new ADR83/00 standards for noise emissions and ADR80/02 standards for exhaust emissions. Kenworth has responded to these challenges with tens of thousands of local engineering hours and in excess of two million test kilometres. We have met these new emission standards whilst still satisfying customer demand for continual improvements in power, fuel economy and productivity.
Reliable grunt for any task A range of North American sourced engines can deliver up to 550hp and 1850lb/ft of torque. These are complemented with cooling packages specifically designed for heavy haulage in Australia’s harsh, high temperature conditions with specifications far exceeding North American and European requirements. Other standard features such as TAS85 power steering further enhance operating performance and efficiency.
A choice of styling The T408 features contemporary aerodynamic styling for maximum fuel efficiency at highway speeds. However, the classic look is also available in the T408SAR model that features the traditional Kenworth hood and grille. Driver safety and comfort The sloping bonnet and one-piece windscreen of the aerodynamic T408 provides excellent driver visibility, further enhanced by standard fitment Daylite doors. Two-piece windscreens are also available on all models. Inside the cab, the ergonomically designed wraparound dash and overhead console incorporate clearly visible, easily reached controls unobstructed by the steering wheel. T408 SERIES Everything is laid out so that the driver can give full attention to the road, minimising distraction and fatigue. Easy cab entry and quick access to the engine compartment for routine maintenance also enhance safety and operational efficiency.
	Kenworth’s T408 Series provide big truck performance and light weight in shorter lengths with a choice of powerful engines.
Short and smart The T408, with optimised bumper-to-back-of-cab length, is ideal for high horsepower 48' single trailer operations where length is critical, as well as B-Double, tipper and tanker applications. The T408 is available in an array of cab configurations including Day, 28”, 36” and Aero 50” sleeper versions. The 36” recessed-back sleeper option is particularly suitable for 48' refrigerated trailer configurations with the specially profiled rear sleeper wall providing increased swing clearance. T408 cab roof height has been raised thereby improving visibility and driver comfort. The day cab version has also been extended by 100mm offering more cab space and improved accessibility.
T408 – the aerodynamic solution for maximum payload in conventional truck applications. Payload and performance Reflecting its function as a tough workhorse, the T408SAR retains the classic Kenworth flat grille and hood. The T408SAR was specially designed for maximum payload under Australian regulations for 19m and 26m B-Double and 19m Quad Dog applications.  The set-forward front axle provides optimal axle group spacings allowing up to half a tonne additional payload on 19m combinations.
