T409
DEFINING TOMORROW
AUSTRALIAN MADE. WORLD’S BEST.
DEFINING FLEXIBILITY AND VERSATILITY
A perfect truck for maximum payloads.
TANKER AND GENERAL FREIGHT
Kenworth’s T409 has been developed as a flexible and aerodynamic solution for maximum-length on-highway operation.
With its athletic stance and sweeping aerodynamic features, the T409 is ideal for general freight or tanker operations.
Offering up to 580 peak horsepower, the T409 is the perfect truck for maximum payload single trailer and 26m B-Double combinations with 36” sleeper.
DEFINING CONTROL WITH STYLE
Designed to deliver maximum driver confidence.
THE WORLD’S BEST REST STOP Superior levels of driver comfort and safety.
The best looking truck in Australia also provides superior levels of comfort. Enjoy home away from home comfort with “walk through” sleepers that offer unsurpassed levels of accommodation comfort.
The T409 can be optioned with any of Kenworth’s range of traditional sleeper boxes. Configurations range from the IT flat roof 28” sleeper, an aerodyne 36” to the luxurious 50” Aero design, offering cupboards with hanging space, full head room, ample storage and optional second bunk.
Each integrated cabin/sleeper has diamond pleated and studded soft trim in a range of colours and Kenworth’s unsurpassed appointments.
DEFINING APPLICATION ENGINEERING
With its aerodynamic lines and class leading cooling performance, the Kenworth T409 offers extra peace of mind to transport professionals by reducing the drag on their fuel dollars.
The T409 also sees the introduction of the Eaton “Ultrashift Plus� automated transmission. This two-pedal transmission delivers significant improvements in performance, superior acceleration and low speed manoeuvrability with its revolutionary Electronic Clutch Actuation (ECA).

COOLING
All Kenworth suspensions are of the highest quality with proven performance and reliability.
To get power to the ground, we offer a selection of proven drivetrain components for the T4 Series from the best suppliers available including transmissions from Eaton, coupled with drive axles from Meritor and Dana.
Because Australia has some of the toughest operating conditions in the world, Kenworth has been careful to test maximum loads, temperatures and humidity across the extremes of our continent.
Unique to Kenworth is the eight air bag AIRGLIDE suspension system. Renowned for its excellent ride and handling it is popular across a wide range of applications from general freight to fuel haul.
This is why the class leading cooling package minimises engine fan cycling even in the harshest conditions.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) With the choice of 3 DPF locations, Kenworth can work with you to find the most suitable for your application. No actions are required by the engine or the driver during passive regeneration to keep the filter clean. Cummins’ testing in Australia has shown that the maintenance interval to remove the ash will

be 500,000 kilometres in most applications. Speak with you local dealer for further information.

FUEL TANKS
Kenworth trucks can be built to a variety of wheelbases with components mounted onto the frame to suit your needs.
At Kenworth we design our own fuel and oil tanks. Engineering tank packages for a variety of applications delivers flexibility to operators by offering multiple fuel and oil tank combinations.
We optimise the strength and weight distribution of each frame by locating the various parts so that loads are evenly spread and fuel tank capacity can be maximised.
Aluminium tanks are standard for weight saving, or you can select steel tanks for severe applications. Just another example of Kenworth’s unmatched attention to design, function and quality.

DEFINING SAFETY It’s all about looking after the most important payload of all
ABS ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM Prevents wheel lock-up when the vehicle is over braked, often reducing stopping distances. Vehicles can retain directional stability and steerability, even under emergency braking on slippery road surfaces. ABS also reduces the danger of jackknifing in the case of vehicle combinations.
DTC DRAG TORQUE CONTROL Prevents the driven wheels from compression locking on a slippery surface by raising engine revs to assist with vehicle stability.
ATC AUTOMATIC TRACTION CONTROL Prevents wheel spin under acceleration as the drive torque exceeds the drive tyres to road surface adhesion. The ATC system communicates with the engine ECU to reduce engine power or will apply the brakes to the drive wheels depending on the low traction event.
ESP ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM Helps to restore vehicle stability through the use of ABS, ATC, steering direction and vehicle directional stability information. Steering angle, yaw, suspension pressure and brake application pressure sensors monitor the intended vehicle directional control versus actual vehicle movement. ESP intervenes by applying individual wheel brakes, or reduced engine torque when required to enhance vehicle stability. The system is compatible with multi trailer combinations.
TRM TRAILER RESPONSE MANAGEMENT Electronic trailer brake actuation (for EBS compatible trailers only) for improved trailer braking response to assist with reduced stopping distances.
ACB ACTIVE CRUISE WITH BRAKES Helps assist with accident avoidance, by using on board computers and radar to engage the engine and wheel braking systems if other vehicles on the road enter unsafe distances from the truck.
At Kenworth, protecting the driver, vehicle, payload, and other road users against unexpected hazards has always been a paramount consideration.
Safety is built into every T409 through Application Engineering, a design approach that also delivers optimal payloads, reliability and productivity.
With the addition of Kenworth Electronic Brake Safety Systems (EBSS) the result is not only safety and proven productivity gains through being engineered to application, but enhanced accident avoidance from the comprehensive list of EBSS options available.
