The Western Star 2800SS rigid truck featuring Australia’s cleanest diesel engine, marks a new era for the brand, with its entry into the 15-22.5 tonne market.

An all-new model to the Western Star lineup and on sale in Australia late 2015, the 2800SS features the greenest diesel truck engine in Australia that meets current and future emission standards.

Recognised as the best medium truck in America with a 24 percent market share and production of 45,000 units in 2014, the 2800SS features state-of-the-art driveline technology and components, with nationwide back up support, from one of the world’s most trusted truck brands and dealer networks.

A key factor in the success of the 2800SS is its versatility that supports a variety of body styles, and chassis mounted equipment, to suit almost every application.

The six-cylinder, 260 hp (191 kW) 895 Nm, turbocharged, high-pressure common rail, fuel injected diesel engine (Cummins ISBE6) is fitted with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and a dosing system for the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) for optimum fuel economy, performance, near-zero emissions, low maintenance and longer service intervals that equal lower operating costs. With the added ability to option increased horsepower to 325 hp (242 kW).

Coupled to the Cummins ISBE6 is the Allison 3000 RDS fully automatic six-speed transmission with Continuous Power Technology™ that delivers smooth, seamless, full-power shifts and superior acceleration.

With an overall length of 10,799 mm, a wheelbase of 6426 mm, the 2800SS will be available in two configurations; 202-inch or 10 pallet and 253-inch or 12 pallets.

It’s segment leading (for 12 pallet trucks) turning circle of 20 metres is due to its set-back front axle, rack and pinion power assisted steering and front steer axle that maximises its turning radius, achieving a 55 degree wheel cut.

The 2800SS has been transformed to right hand drive for the Australian market.

Ride comfort and load carrying ability lead the segment thanks to the Detroit DA12 front and DARS21 rear axle combined with the Airliner rear suspension.
