Evolved, refined, technologically advanced, the new K220 takes the driver experience to the Next Level.

Open the cab door, and step into the future. Evolved, refined, technologically advanced, the K220 elevates the driver experience in every way.

For more than 50 years Kenworth has been at the forefront of vehicle innovation, durability and productivity, with trucks locally designed and engineered to meet the unique demands of the Australian environment and road transport industry.

Building on this trusted legacy, inspired by the potential of proven new technology, the K220 takes everything to the next level.

The result is a driver environment that’s more intuitive, more comfortable and safer, assisting highly experienced and next generation drivers alike, to perform at their peak.

Across every component of every system, Kenworth’s commitment to reliability ensures consideration has been given to how each component will function over time.

Application engineering, the design philosophy common to every Kenworth, ensures each K220 will also take full advantage of its short bumper-to-back-of-cab length and set-forward front axle, to deliver optimal payloads safely and efficiently.

It’s an approach that has earned Kenworth an unrivalled reputation for quality - a reputation destined to be enhanced by our new Australian-made K220.

The view from the driver’s seat has never been more impressive. The main interface is a 15-inch high-definition instrument panel that provides an advanced driver experience.

Easy to read, intuitive to use, this new digital instrumentation helps reduce distraction by allowing the driver to control how much information is shown when operating the truck— safe in the knowledge the K220 will monitor itself and provide immediate fault alerts, or warnings.

The interior boasts a new 8-inch audio visual navigation unit featuring smartphone integration, optional physical gauges, clever storage, and meticulously considered switchgear that falls right to hand.

Driver distraction is further minimised by the new and improved SmartWheel, enhancing fingertip control of an expanded range of vehicle functions and settings.

At the start of the working day with the simple press of a button, the K220 can perform a comprehensive systems check. Likewise, at the end of the day upon shutting down, the truck will also display a detailed trip and vehicle summary.

Moreover, the K220 provides driver performance reports and coaching advice, to help every driver get the best out of the vehicle - and themselves.

Whether you’re on a freeway in peak hour, have only the horizon for company, or are ready to bed down, the Kenworth approach to safety has you covered.

The K220 leverages latest generation image recognition and object detection systems to take collision mitigation and vehicle stability to the next level. Intuitively placed controls, visible warnings and an ergonomic layout allow the driver to better focus on the road ahead.

To get even more out of your vehicle, the user-friendly telematics solution, PACCAR Connect, allows you to track and monitor vehicle, driver and fleet performance, using easy-to-read, fully customisable dashboards and reports.

A well-rested driver is a safer driver, so we’ve made the sleeper better than ever. With more space and freedom to move, a quieter cabin, improved airflow from the new climate control system, and many other enhancements, you’ll arrive at journey’s end feeling less fatigued.

Underpinning all these improvements is Kenworth application engineering, which ensures every K220 is safer by design.

The K220 employs a suite of technology features that elevate the driver safety to the Next Level.

Strikingly unique. Reassuringly familiar. Front to back, inside and out, the multifaceted design evolution of the K220 is as compelling as its pedigree.

Instantly recognisable with its streamlined, purposeful contours, the Kenworth DNA is unmistakable.

Exterior style enhancements combine form with operational benefits: the new aerodynamic roof and side fairings reduce drag; the new wheel arch design better protects the engine bay from road spray; and the new stainless steel grille supports optimised engine cooling.

The K220 is available with new LED headlamps with integrated indicators and daytime running lights that can be paired with chrome headlamp surrounds to give the K220 real presence.

As you’ve come to expect from Kenworth, behind the wheel, you’ll find a level of comfort and class more in keeping with a luxury car.

Spacious, and quieter than ever, the redesigned interior features more legroom and a greater range of seat movement, to help every driver find their perfect driving position. With the new roofline, there’s more headspace too. Overhead storage is now triple the size, and the new climate control system delivers 61% more airflow.

2.3m and 2.8m sleeper cabs offer our greatest ever range of optional sleeper storage and bunk options, as well as a 240V inverter, and other personal touches that make this the ultimate home away from home.

Performance without compromise, from take-off to top gear, you can rely on the K220 to deliver across a diverse range of heavy-duty applications.

Optimised for the Cummins X15 Euro 6 and Euro 5 engines, the K220 can be coupled with a manual or the all-new 18-speed Endurant XD Pro™ automated transmission.

Designed from the ground up to set a new automated transmission benchmark, the Endurant XD Pro™ is lighter, smoother and engineered to reduce fuel and maintenance costs.

Next generation engine management software seamlessly integrates the transmission with other vehicle sensors, for intelligent shift decisions time after time. From effortless low-speed manoeuvrability to optimised highway cruising, the Endurant XD Pro™ is a game-changer.

Shaped with the aid of computational fluid dynamics, the new wind-cheating roof profile improves aerodynamic efficiency by 4%, translating directly into fuel savings leaving more money in your pocket—trip after trip.
