Kenworth Introduces New L770 and L770E Refuse Trucks at WasteExpo

 


Earlier this year, at WasteExpo, Kenworth announced its newest Class 8 vocational trucks – the Kenworth L770 and the battery-electric L770E.

These models represent Kenworth’s first vocational low-cab forward offerings, which are engineered to excel in refuse and other specialized vocational applications, such as concrete pumping, crane, and paint striping. The Kenworth L770 and zero-emission L770E are now available for order and delivery from Kenworth dealers in the U.S. and Canada.

The L770 and L770E feature a corrosion-resistant galvanized steel cab frame with aluminum panels and a 90° door opening for convenient access. A variety of cab configurations – including Left-Hand Drive, Right-Hand Drive, Dual Seated Drive, and Dual Drive with Right-Hand Stand-Up – allow fleets to tailor the truck to specific operational needs.

The L770 and L770E share the same electrical architecture with Kenworth heavy-duty vocational models like the T880 for commonality across the fleet and ease of integration with aftermarket equipment. Pre-configured frame layouts for various refuse bodies such as front loaders, auto side-loaders and rear loaders allow for easier and faster body upfit.

The Kenworth L770 offers a variety of powertrain options, including PACCAR’s MX-11 engine, with ratings up to 445 hp and 1,700 lb ft of torque and the PACCAR PX-9 engine with ratings up to 380 hp and 1,250 lb ft of torque. For fleets pursuing alternative fuels, the L770 is available with three natural gas-powered engines, the Cummins X15N, rated up to 500 hp and 1,850 lb ft of torque, the Cummins ISX12N rated up to 400 hp and 1,450 lb ft of torque, and the lighter Cummins L9N, rated up to 320 hp and 1,000 lb ft of torque.

The L770E is powered by Meritor’s eAxle powertrain that delivers 536 hp continuous power and up to 670 hp peak with 1,623 lb ft of torque. The drivetrain is supported by a 350 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery system, enabling up to 1,100 automated side loader bin cycles or 130 rear loader compactor cycles per charge.

The L770E is designed for the stop-and-go duty cycles, common in refuse operations, with regenerative braking that captures energy during deceleration to enhance range.
