Bendix Electronic Stability Program Now Standard on Kenworth T680, T880 Models
Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems' electronic stability program now is standard on Kenworth Truck Co.’s T680 and T880 trucks.
Kenworth is a unit of Paccar Inc.
“These are Kenworth’s flagship on-highway and vocational vehicles ... matching them with Bendix’s road-tested and proven active safety technology is the perfect pairing of great, innovative trucks and the best safety systems,” Scott Burkhart, vice president of sales at Bendix, said in a statement.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will require full-stability technology on most new Class 7 and Class 8 tractors starting in August, Bendix said.
Elyria, Ohio-based Bendix said it introduced ESP in 2005, making it the first full-stability solution widely available for the commercial vehicle market.
