SMARTER BY DESIGN
Start with a lightweight design capable of handling high torque for more payload and profit potential. Add industry-leading shift performance that delivers up to 15 percent improved acceleration over comparable transmissions. A whole host of features that enhance the safety and security of your fleet, drivers and cargo. The transmission offers up to 5 percent better fuel economy compared to the nearest competitor. Quiet-running characteristics, driveability, and the responsiveness of a fine passenger car are among the additional benefits of the TX-8 that drivers will appreciate.
BUILT-IN RELIABILITY
The PACCAR TX-8 automatic transmission is engineered for maximum uptime. Its strong yet lightweight all-aluminum housing has been designed to last. The gear layout creates maximum ratio with fewer moving parts and less friction. And an innovative design with only two open elements delivers much more efficient operation while extending oil life. Internal sensors, wiring and connections are all fully encased, minimizing exposure and corrosion.
MAINTENANCE-LIGHT SOLUTION
This transmission helps reduce your total cost of ownership with lower maintenance needs. Oil change intervals occur only every 150,000 miles* – a benchmark standard for automatic transmissions in medium-duty applications, and the oil filter is good for life.
ENHANCED RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Running trucks that are easier to operate helps fleets expand their pool of recruits. Training is less complicated and time consuming. New drivers reach optimal performance sooner. And drivers of all experience levels find the job less fatiguing and more satisfying – a big reason ACCAR-powered fleets tend to retain their best people longer.
Drivability and ease of use are the top factors impacting driver comfort. The PACCAR TX-8 delivers thanks to best-in-class features.
The PACCAR TX-8 delivers the same responsiveness you’d expect in a premium passenger car, which makes your vehicle easier and safer to operate. Shifting is quick and quiet as the transmission selects the best gear for every driving condition, without the noise and vibration typical of most trucks. Intelligent features enable drivers to keep both hands on the wheel, focus on the job and drive with confidence every day.
