Kenworth Launches Medium Duty Cabovers
Kenworth has announced exterior and interior enhancements to its K270 and K370 models – to build on momentum for its line of Class 6 and 7 cabover trucks.
According to the company, the Kenworth K270 Class 6 and K370 Class 7 cabovers are ideal for city and neighborhood applications, where tight turning and a shorter overall length are required.
“The Kenworth K270 and K370 cabovers are designed for pick-up-and-delivery operations, landscape businesses, food and beverage companies, furniture hauling, and street sweeping and striping, among others,” said Doug Powell, Kenworth’s medium duty marketing manager.
“With a 30 percent better curb-to-curb turning radius than a conventional truck, a 63.4-inch BBC dimension that provides an extra 45 inches of payload room over a conventional, and a 35-foot overall length – which is becoming the new norm for metro cities – these are money-making machines.”
“A new dash and gauge cluster, front air disc brakes, electronic braking module, and a fresh exterior are among some of the key additions,” added Powell.
Available with wheelbases ranging from 142 to 242 inches in 12-inch increments, the K270 and K370 can accommodate bodies from 16 to 28 feet. A large 2,500-square-inch wraparound windshield combines with large side windows to give optimum visibility.
Kenworth is displaying the latest K270 cabover in its booth (No. 30305) at the Mid-America Trucking Show.
