Kenworth has announced its flagship T2000 tractor is now available with its Driver Information Center, GPS navigation system and multiple instrumentation system included.

The Kenworth Driver Information Center gives instant access to current trip data such as miles per gallon, engine and idle hours, idle percentage and optimum rpm range for the engine, giving visual cues when the optimum rpm is reached, the OEM said.

The GPS navigation system, standard with the Kenworth Diamond cab interior and optional on the Splendor interior, reduces out-of-route miles through routing, multiple route and waypoint selection, and turn-by-turn voice commands, the company said. It also locates delivery addresses, multiple drop routes, Kenworth dealers, truck stops and other points of interest.

According to Kenworth, the multiplex instrumentation system provides additional serviceability and reliability, with a new dash that features large chrome bezels, and color-coded wiring behind the dash for easier servicing.
