17 Australian made Kenworth T408SAR prime movers were recently added to the Linfox fleet to service fuel haulage contracts in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
“The T408SARs are fully compliant for haulage of dangerous goods and are used for fuel deliveries for 7-Eleven, Caltex and ExxonMobil,” explained Linfox’s Fleet Manager Industrial, Alex Brincat.
The new prime movers are powered by Cummins ISX 15-litre EGR in line six cylinder engines, which are rated at 500 hp. The engine power is driven through an 18-speed gearbox.
According to Linfox driver, Dave Gardner, “The extra horse power helps with hills. The trucks are easy to handle with improved visibility which makes them great for driving in city traffic.”
