Eaton Cummins’ Endurant XD series automated transmission now is available in select vocational Western Star and Freightliner models.
As part of the Cummins integrated powertrain, Endurant XD and Endurant XD Pro, paired with the Cummins X12 or X15 engine, are available in the Western Star 47X and 49X and the Freightliner 114SD PLUS, the companies reported.
“We offer our vocational customers reliable products that can be outfitted to suit their needs,” Aaron Scates, Daimler Truck North America vice president of vocational and medium duty market development, said in a news release. “By offering the Eaton Cummins Endurant XD series transmissions in our Western Star and Freightliner vehicles, our customers will have more options when spec’ing for their specific application.”
Endurant XD units are all-new, purpose-built, 18-speed automated manual transmissions designed for applications with high gross combined weight ratings, such as heavy-haul and double- and triple-trailer tractors, and heavy-duty vocational trucks operating in harsh environments.
“The Endurant XD series represents a new level of precision, control, and durability that will change the way vocational fleets think about AMTs,” said Dave Karnes, Eaton Cummins vice president of sales.
