At the heart of the T880 is a fully optimized and integrated drivetrain featuring the quality and proven reliability of the PACCAR MX-13 engine. These highly efficient, clean running engines deliver up to 500 hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque – all the muscle you need to do the job.
In addition to industry-leading fuel economy, the PACCAR MX-13 employs innovative high-strength yet lightweight components and premium materials to achieve superior durability and power-to-weight performance. The technologically advanced design reduces in-cab noise levels significantly for a more comfortable driving environment. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) in combination with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) enables the PACCAR MX-13 to boast near-zero emissions.
Bottom line: Expect longer service intervals, increased uptime, lower operating costs and higher resale value.
