Kenworth T700 in full production (July 21, 2010)
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Kenworth’s newest highway truck, the T700, is now in full production at the company’s truck plant here.
“We’re seeing positive demand for the T700 and expect it to increase as customers purchase fuel-efficient, aerodynamic trucks as their business and the economy strengthens,” said Marilyn Santangelo, Kenworth assistant general manager for operations.
Recently, Kenworth received an order for 500 T700s from Stevens Transport out of Dallas, Texas. Kenworth claims its T700 boasts lower drag than any other truck in the company’s history.
It’s available with the Paccar MX engine or the Cummins ISX. For a full review of the T700, see the August issues of Truck News and Truck West.
