KENWORTH T700 with PACCAR MX Engine -- Heavy Duty Commercial Truck of Year



The T700 is the latest evolution in Kenworth’s distinguished history of industry-leading, fuel-efficient trucks. Designed through the extensive use of computational fluid dynamics, Kenworth optimized the T700’s aerodynamic integration while carefully sculpting a distinctive, eye-catching appearance. As a result, the Kenworth T700 has the lowest aerodynamic drag of any Kenworth truck in company history, and has earned Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay(SM) program certification. In addition to modern aerodynamic styling, the T700 has best in class forward lighting and excellent serviceability features. 



The Kenworth T700 targets over the road and team driver operations with its excellent driver comfort features. The T700’s spacious, wide cab has nearly 30 inches between the driver and passenger seats for convenient access to the 75-inch AERODYNE® sleeper and its soaring 8-foot cathedral ceiling. The roomy interior provides an industry-leading, 60-plus cubic feet of storage space.




The T700’s ergonomic cab features modern dash styling, state-of-art multiplexed instrumentation, and Kenworth Driver Information Center. To further enhance the award-winning T700, the new Kenworth NavPlus® – a PACCAR proprietary in-dash, PC-based system with true truck-specific navigation, vehicle data, hands-free phoning, audio controls, camera inputs, roadside assistance, and optional Internet access – will be available this year. 


The PACCAR MX engine is available with a horsepower range of 380-hp to 485-hp and torque up to 1,750 lb-ft on selected Kenworth Class 8 models. This power range, combined with excellent fuel efficiency, high reliability and durability, lightweight design, and low cost of ownership, makes the PACCAR MX engine an ideal choice for Kenworth customers operating in many over-the-road, pickup and delivery, and vocational applications. 



The PACCAR MX engine employs innovative high strength, yet lightweight components and premium material to achieve superior durability and power-to-weight performance. The technologically advanced design reduces in-cab noise levels significantly for a more comfortable driving environment. 

The very low-emission PACCAR MX engine achieves U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification, and meets the stringent emission standards of 0.2 grams per brake horsepower hour of NOx and 0.01 grams per brake horsepower hour of particulate matter.

PETERBILT'S MODEL 320 OFFERS ENCHANCED MANEUVERABILITY, VERSATILITY AND COMFORT



Peterbilt Motors Company introduces a range of new features for the popular Model 320, providing customers improved maneuverability, increased vehicle utility and enhanced driver comfort. Renowned for maneuvering large payloads in confined spaces as well as availability of alternative fueled hydraulic hybrid powertrains, the Model 320 is ideally suited for a variety of vocational markets including refuse, construction, tanker and fire service applications.

“Peterbilt’s low cab forward vehicle, the Model 320, is known for standing up to the harsh demands of the refuse and vocational industries with its uncompromising performance,” said Bill Jackson, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “And with its new features offering added flexibility, increased efficiency and an optimal work environment, the Model 320 is the ideal truck for this challenging market.”

New options for the Model 320 include:

STEERING GEARS

The Model 320 is available with the two new steering gear options for enhancing maneuverability. The Sheppard HD94 offers front axle ratings up to 12,000 pounds, and the Sheppard SD110 offers front axle ratings up to 20,000 pounds. Both steering gear options offer ten percent wheel cut improvement, decreased turning radius and enhanced serviceability. The Sheppard SD110 is available in several configurations for added flexibility: a single gear rated up to 14, 600 pounds, a single gear with assist rated up to 20,000 pounds, or as a dual gear for either a left or right hand rated up to 20,000 pounds. 



LIGHT-WEIGHT BATTERY BOX 

Utilizing the same frame space as a traditional battery box, the new light-weight aluminum, fender mounted battery box combines up to three batteries, a mount optional battery jumper posts and a disconnect all into one location. By configuring these components together, the Model 320 can be configured to save between 4 inches to 18 inches of linear frame space allowing for a shorter wheelbase which provides weight savings.  The battery box can also be installed on either side of the truck, simplifying body installation. This is beneficial to customers ordering the Hydraulic Launch Assist system, installing an automated side loader or installing a residential front loader body. 

ERGONOMIC SEAT

For optimal comfort and ride performance, Peterbilt is now offering new amenities including an armrest, headrest and additional lumbar support to the already favorable Sears C-2 air suspension seats which already delivers 5.25 inch suspension travel and ergonomic contoured molded cushions. The new features are available on both the driver and passenger seats.  

TRI-PLANE MIRRORS 

To enhance visibility and safety, Peterbilt’s new tri-plane mirrors contain convex mirrors on the upper and lower planes with a remote controlled flat mirror on the middle plane. All three surfaces are heated, and feature an arm system that allows the mirror to be folded either forward or backward. And for added flexibility, the mirrors can be either traditionally mounted on the driver and passenger doors, or for a wider view range, the passenger side mirror can be innovatively installed to the front of the cab.
