superior acceleration and low speed manoeuvrability with its revolutionary
Electronic Clutch Actuation (ECA).
The T403 offers the choice of a
Cummins ISX or ISMe5 engine
and a spacious and comfortable
cab with wrap around dash.
An optimised bumper-to-back-
of-cab dimension and set back
front axle also offer additional
payload advantages in an
aerodynamic package.
BEST SOLUTION REAR AXLE SUSPENSIONS
To get power to the ground,
we offer a selection of proven
drivetrain components for the
T403 from the best suppliers
including transmissions from
Eaton, coupled with drive axles
from Meritor and Dana.
DRIVETRAIN
All Kenworth suspensions are
of the highest quality with
proven performance and
reliability. 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.

7. Kenworth trucks can be built
to a variety of wheelbases with
components mounted onto the
frame to suit your needs.
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.
CHASSIS FRAME LAYOUT FUEL TANKS
Australia has some of the
toughest operating conditions
in the world, so Kenworth tests
to maximum loads, temperatures
and humidity across the
extremes of our continent.
This is why the class leading
cooling package minimises
engine fan cycling even in the
harshest conditions.
COOLING
At Kenworth trucks we design our
own fuel and oil tanks. Engineering
fuel tanks specifically for an
applicationcandelivercostsavingsby
setting up a truck so you can refuel
where you want to. Aluminium
tanks are standard for weight
saving. Just another example of
Kenworth’s unmatched attention
to design, function and quality.

EMISSIONS
To meet strict ADR80/03
regulations Kenworth offers
the T403 with the choice of
either (1) SCR (Cummins ISMe5)
or (2) EGR and DPF (Cummins ISX).
SCR employs DEF (Diesel
Exhaust Fluid) which is added to
the exhaust gas to significantly
reduce particulate matter. EGR
recirculates the exhaust gas
back through the engine before
a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
also significantly reduces the
particulate matter.
With the choice of a horizontally
mounted EGP or three DPF
locations, Kenworth can work
with you to find the most suitable
solution for your application.
Speak with your local dealer for
further information.

MAIN SPECIFICATIONS AND OPTIONS

9. DEFINING SAFETY
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 T403 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
IT’S ALL ABOUT LOOKING AFTER THE
MOST IMPORTANT PAYLOAD OF ALL
gains through being engineered to
application, but enhanced accident
avoidance from the comprehensive
list of EBSS options available.
