Latest Bendix Fusion now available on Kenworth T680 vehicles
June 11, 2025
The newest version of the ADAS includes Pedestrian Autonomous Emergency Braking, which helps avoid collisions with forward pedestrians, and High Beam Assist to turn off high beam headlights when needed.
The latest version of Bendix Fusion is now available on Kenworth Truck Company’s T680s, including the system’s new Pedestrian Autonomous Emergency Braking (PAEB) and a new High Beam Assist feature.
“We’re proud to have Kenworth equip their trucks with Bendix’s latest technologies,” said Nicole Oreskovic, Bendix vice president, sales and marketing. “It’s a continuation of the commitment to safety that we’ve shared from the earliest days of our full-stability systems in 2005 to our most recent advancements today.”
The PAEB can provide audible and visual alerts and braking if it detects someone in the vehicle’s forward path, while the High Beam Assist option can automatically deactivate the high beam headlights in certain conditions.
As well as those new features, the latest Bendix Fusion also includes a forward-facing camera and upgraded software support system. It also has previous Fusion features such as autonomous emergency braking, multi-lane autonomous emergency braking, highway departure braking, stationary vehicle braking, lane departure warning, and the Bendix BlindSpotter side object detection system, as well as alerts to reduce driver distraction. Finally, Fusion is built on Bendix’s ESP Electronic Stability Program to help mitigate rollovers and loss-of-control incidents.
However, both Kenworth and Bendix emphasize that ADAS do not replace a driver’s expertise, attention, and training, and should only augment them.
