Engine Auto Start/Stop Now Available at Kenworth Trucks

KENWORTH is now offering an engine start/stop system on the T680.

The system will monitor a truck’s batteries state-of-charge and start the truck if the state-of-charge drops below a pre-defined level. The truck will continues to run until the batteries are recharged.

There are numerous safety interlocks in place to keep the truck from starting. A few of those are:

• if the hood is open
• if the parking brake is not set
• if the driver door is open
• if the pto switch is enabled , and others.

There are also interrupts that will turn the engine off. A few are:

• when the foot brake is pressed
• when the clutch pedal is pressed
• if the ignition is turned on, and others.

Please contact us with any questions.
