"Driver assistance systems contribute in helping to reduce driver fatigue and enhancing the ease of operating commercial trucks," says Kevin Haygood, Kenworth's assistant general manager for sales and marketing. "These new ADAS offerings will give our T680 customers more options to select features that support safe driving practices and also enhance the overall driving experience."
The other package options include ADAS Pro, which adds lane keep assist and torque assisted steering, and ADAS Premier, which also adds Kenworth's DigitalVision mirrors.
