PACCAR (Nasdaq: PCAR) is participating in the CES 2020 show in
Las Vegas, Nevada this week. CES is one of the world’s largest
showcases for technological innovation. PACCAR is a leader in
autonomous and alternative powertrain commercial vehicles, and is
exhibiting three vehicles with these technologies at the show: a
Level 4 autonomous Kenworth T680; a battery-electric Peterbilt
Model 520EV; and a battery-electric Kenworth K270E. Peterbilt and
Kenworth designed these trucks for a range of customer
applications, including over-the-road goods transportation, refuse
collection and urban distribution. Visitors are welcome to explore
these advanced vehicles at PACCAR’s booth, near the Convention
Center monorail station.
The Kenworth T680 autonomous truck displayed at CES demonstrates
PACCAR’s commitment to developing self-driving commercial vehicles
for its customers. Stephan Olsen, PACCAR Innovation Center general
manager, noted, “The PACCAR Innovation Center in Silicon Valley has
become a central player in the truck innovation ecosystem.
Peterbilt and Kenworth are the clear trucks of choice among the
leading independent autonomous driving technology developers. We
look forward to deepening our productive partnerships with these
innovative companies in the future.”
Peterbilt Model 520EV battery-electric trucks are currently
being field tested by customers. The trucks quietly collect refuse
on residential and commercial routes, operating a full day on a
single charge. Peterbilt expects to deliver Model 520EV trucks to
customers in 2021.
The battery-electric Kenworth K270E is a medium-duty commercial
vehicle with range options between 100 and 200 miles, ideal for
local pickup and delivery operations. Kenworth expects to deliver
K270E trucks to customers in 2020.
“These advanced technology Kenworth and Peterbilt vehicles are
environmentally-friendly and enhance our customers’ operations,”
said Kyle Quinn, PACCAR chief technology officer.
“PACCAR is investing in next-generation technologies across its
portfolio of industry-leading transportation solutions. We are
delighted to return to CES this year to showcase PACCAR’s
innovative autonomous and alternative powertrain trucks,” added
Quinn.
PACCAR is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture
and customer support of high-quality light-, medium- and heavy-duty
trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. PACCAR
also designs and manufactures advanced powertrains, provides
financial services and information technology, and distributes
truck parts related to its principal business.
