Kenworth Travels ‘Green’ Highway

Kenworth’s environmental program is focused on alternative fuels, hybrid technologies, idle reduction, aerodynamic performance and driver-awareness technologies.

The company’s latest environmental product involves trucks fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG). Kenworth will expand its presence in the growing LNG truck market by beginning production of Kenworth T800 LNG trucks in 2009. A typical LNG truck reduces nitrogen oxide and greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 33% and 20%, respectively, compared to a diesel truck.

Kenworth plans to introduce medium-duty diesel-electric hybrid trucks into full production this summer. Initial offering is for pickup and delivery and utility applications. Purchasers of Kenworth hybrids, equipped with a PACCAR PX-6 engine and the Eaton hybrid system, may qualify for a maximum federal tax credit of $6,000 (Class 6) and $12,000 (Class 7).

The Kenworth Clean Power no-idle system offers as much as an 8 percent fuel economy enhancement for customers with high-idling time. Kenworth Clean Power’s generator-free operation also provides a quiet rest environment.

The Kenworth T660 is a leader in aerodynamics and the company’s most aerodynamic model ever. The T660 is available in a variety of long-haul sleeper applications and in a day cab for regional and heavy hauling operations.

The Kenworth Driver Information Center empowers the driver to enhance fuel economy performance and efficiency by providing instant trip access information for miles per gallon, engine and idle hours, idle percentage and optimum rpm range.
