Driver Studio
The Kenworth T680 76″ High-Roof Sleeper is the ultimate driver’s truck. Offering a spacious, modern and elegant interior with configurable options that personalize — and heighten — the driving experience. It’s also a great place to work or just relax.
1
The Drviers’ Studio includes the 180-degree swivel passenger seat and swivel table option set, which maximizes the driver’s living space by combining the cab and sleeper into a large studio, allowing the driver to relax in comfort in the passenger seat rather than being confined only in the back of the sleeper. It also allows for viewing of the TV from the passenger seat or the bunk.
2
To maximize stand-up room in the sleeper, a pull of the latch unlocks the table which may be rotated 90 degrees above the bunk, also giving you easy access to the drawers below.
3
Convenient LED lighting provides ample interior light throughout the sleeper and an LED light directly above the swivel table with an independent light switch creates a brightly lit workspace.
4
The Driver’s Studio includes a swivel TV mount ideal for flat screen TVs up to 28”, a premium audio package with 320-watt amp, 10-inch subwoofer and 8 speakers, and the optional EpicVue pre-wire for satellite TV.
5
For dining, the Driver’s Studio includes both a drawer-style refrigerator and a convenient space ideal for a microwave. The 1800-watt inverter includes up to four standard 120 volt outlets to power the microwave, a DVD / BluRay player, gaming consoles, laptops and other electrical devices.
6
A spacious on-top organizer for keys, cell phone and other necessities; handhold cubby for stable access to upper bunk.
1
The Driver’s Studio also includes abundant storage space, including a full-size wardrobe for hanging clothes, multiple drawers and cabinets, and a large storage space under the lower bunk.
2
Large capacity, drawer-style refrigerator/freezer mounted at mid-level for wide open access without bending over.
3
The sleeper control panel is a convenient central location for all the items you need to control the sleeper environment, along with entertainment and interior lighting.
4
There are two control units on the sleeper panel. One for the heater and air conditioning and the other for the optional 1,800 watt inverter. The no-idle control provides automatic temperature control in both a battery based air conditioning and a diesel fired heater mode. The inverter control switches the optional power inverter on to provide hotel power and battery charging.

A TRUCK THIS ADVANCED WILL TAKE YOU PLACES YOU’VE NEVER BEEN.
The T680 employs a suite of technologies and design features that elevate the driving experience to new heights of safety, efficiency and satisfaction. These intelligent support systems empower the driver to make better, more informed decisions, remain connected 24/7, and dial in the perfect work environment. At the end of the day, this is all about helping the driver feel less fatigued and more fulfilled.
1
Adaptive cruise control (ACC) can make driving trucks safer and less fatiguing. Integrated with your normal cruise control system, ACC “reads” traffic conditions via front-facing radar sensor and modulates the throttle and the brakes to keep your truck at a pre-set distance from the vehicle in front of it. Then, when the road is clear, the system will re-accelerate the vehicle back to the set speed.
2
Kenworth’s lane departure warning system helps combat lane drift due to fatigue and distractions. The system continually monitors the truck’s location related to lane markings and automatically emits a distinctive audible warning whenever an unintended lane change (unsignaled) is detected — alerting the driver to make a correction.
3
Far beyond a mere warning system, Kenworth collision mitigation detects when the truck may be about to collide with another vehicle or object, alerts the driver and takes pre-emptive braking action — when necessary — to avoid or considerably reduce the severity of a crash.
4
The side object detection system continuously monitors a truck’s blind spots and provides the driver with audible and visual alerts when an object or vehicle has entered these zones — invaluable when making a lane change or negotiating tight delivery sites.
5
Standard on every Kenworth with a PACCAR MX-13 engine, the Driver Performance Assistant module monitors and scores driving technique in real-time — encouraging behavior that supports better fuel economy and longer brake life. The system coaches improvements by showing drivers how to best optimize the truck’s performance — by coasting longer, utilizing the engine brake, anticipating the road ahead and braking with less force.
6
Predictive Cruise Control employs GPS and 3D digital map technology to anticipate changes in grade up to a mile ahead. Using those inputs, the technology automatically modifies the standard cruise control response when paired with the PACCAR transmission. Predictive shifting optimizes gear selection and shifts into neutral on downhill grades for even greater fuel efficiency in order to maximize fuel economy.
IDLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Kenworth’s factory-installed, battery based no-idle system is designed to help long-haul fleets in hot and cold climates to reduce idling time and fuel usage without compromising performance. As a split system, Kenworth’s factory installed option provides one of the smallest footprints in the industry, allowing for maximum storage under the bunk.
It also features on-board diagnostics, full automatic temperature control in A/C and heating modes, a digital LCD display that makes it easier for drivers to control the unit, and provides battery monitoring capabilities.
