Powering this PB520 chassis is a PACCAR MX-11 10.8L diesel engine, delivering 355 horsepower @ 1600 RPM and 1250 lb-ft of torque @ 900 RPM. Built for long-term durability, this engine is 2024 CARB emissions compliant and comes equipped with an engine brake, block heater, front sump oil pan (SBFA), and WABCO 25.9CFM air compressor. It’s paired with the industry-trusted Allison 4500 RDS 6-speed automatic transmission, known for its strength in high-stop, high-load vocational applications like refuse collection. The 5.38 rear gear ratio adds to this truck’s excellent low-speed power and control.
Driver comfort and safety are enhanced with superior cab visibility, intuitive controls, and wide-angle mirror positioning, making tight pickups and alley runs safer and easier.
