The Spicer AdvanTEK 40 axle incorporates leading design solutions, such as innovative gearing, which can help increase fuel economy, improve reliability, reduce vehicle weight, and decrease total ownership costs, according to Dana. The axle was developed with some of the industry's fastest axle ratios to handle higher torque and lower engine RPM at cruise speed. Axle ratios of 2.26, 2.39, 2.53, 2.64 and 2.79 are available on Kenworth Class 8 trucks, including the T680 and T880.
 
The innovative and patented technologies offered on AdvanTEK 40 include a flow-through lubrication system for the inter-axle differential; high-efficiency, on-demand lubrication pump; no maintenance U-tube breather; wheel differential locks; innovative lube flow enhancements; and  the SelecTTrac™ solution for  wide-based single-tire configurations.
