I need to check this out ! You know they have tried for over 30 years to come up with a viable disc brake option. Now it seems Kenworth has done it. Or Bendix or Haldex or who ever came up with the idea ! The ones I remember always used a rod and apply lever to "squeeze" the pads together. I wonder how much pressure their using ? I might need to make a trip down to Kenworth and see this for myself. Thankfully their only about 40 miles south of me.80k gvw Kenworth trucks, 2015 model year. They are air disks, no hydraulics with the brakes. The switch is optional. The latest drums will pass, but are not as good.
The disk setup is pretty compact. Air can is attached to the caliper, so no rod or cam to adjust or find a place to mount with a conversion.
