Peterbilt’s Paccar TX-12 Pro automated transmission is now available on vocational trucks, the Peterbilt Models 567 and 579.
Designed to be versatile and efficient, according to Peterbilt, the TX-12 Pro automated transmission brings reliable TX-12 performance to vocational applications.
It is engineered to operate with engines that have up to 1,700 lbs.-ft. of torque and a maximum gross combination weight rating (GCWR) of 70,000 pounds.
Features of the TX-12 Pro Automated Transmission
TX-12 Pro features and benefits, according to the company, include:
- Dual PTO functionality to power multiple hydraulic devices simultaneously
- New extreme-duty clutch for improved low-speed maneuvering with higher loads
- Rock Free mode helps rock the truck free from mud, sand, or snow
- Off-highway calibration enables shift points that are tuned for changing off-highway conditions with a bias toward shifting less often
- Secondary configuration for a tailored driving experience that accounts for toggling between two calibrations for the load or terrain
“The addition of the Paccar TX-12 Pro automated transmission enhances Peterbilt’s ability to provide the best-performing trucks in the industry with improved efficiency, low-speed maneuverability, and improved reliability to our vocational customers,” said Jake Montero, Peterbilt assistant general manager, sales and marketing.
