Kenworth Truck Company announced that its new 76-inch mid-roof sleeper for the Kenworth T680 and T880 is in production.
This 76-inch mid-roof sleeper is optimized for bulk tank, flatbed, and other truck operators who prefer a lower roof, aerodynamic, lightweight truck that has the comforts of Kenworth’s 76-inch high-roof sleeper for driver retention and recruitment. The new sleeper offers a 100-pound weight savings for additional payload capacity and profit opportunity, and less aerodynamic drag for low load height operations with up to a 5% fuel economy savings.
The new mid-roof sleeper has 6-1/2 feet of headroom to give tall drivers ease of movement, a roomy work environment, liftable lower bunk, and side storage towers with ample space to hang clothes. Its backwall can be configured with an optional upper bunk for team drivers or a backwall sleeper storage unit. A premium sound system and a mount for the customer to install a flat screen TV are among other options available.
With the new sleeper, both the Kenworth T680 and T880 can be configured with the 76-inch mid-roof sleeper, 52-inch regional sleeper, and day cab. The T680 also is available with the 76-inch high-roof sleeper.
