Kenworth Truck Company has celebrated its historic One Millionth Truck produced in the company’s 91 years during a special ceremony at Kenworth’s assembly plant in Chillicothe, Ohio.
The milestone truck is a Kenworth T680 Advantage with the 455-hp PACCAR MX-13 engine and factory-installed Kenworth aerodynamic package.
The truck was presented to TransAm Trucking of Olathe, Kan., before a large gathering of Kenworth employees. TransAm is one of the leading refrigerated carriers in the United States and operates 1,050 Kenworth Class 8 trucks.
Stated Gary Moore, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR vice president, “It’s appropriate that the milestone truck is the on-highway flagship Kenworth T680 Advantage, our excellent fuel efficiency leader.”
Founded in 1987, TransAm Trucking operates a fleet of over 1,400 tractors and over 2,400 trailers throughout the United States out of its headquarters in nearby Olathe, Kan.
