PACCAR’s Kenworth Truck Company was recently honored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the Clean Air Excellence Award. Kenworth is the first commercial vehicle manufacturer to receive this accolade since inception of the award in 2000. The EPA recognized Kenworth’s innovative efforts and progress in developing advanced environmentally friendly vehicles.
Other examples of PACCAR’s environmental leadership include:

•A Kenworth T370 is the first medium-duty diesel-electric hybrid truck in New York City’s truck fleet. The Kenworth hybrid vehicle will be used by the Department of Sanitation throughout the New York City metropolitan area.
Sunswap’s zer0-emission transport refrigeration units with batteries and roof-mounted solar panels are expected to help Tesco meet its sustainability goals.
Germany-based Tevex is adding 166 new refrigerated vehicles to its fleet, including an all-electric S.KOe Cool box trailer and an ePTO-ready transport refrigeration unit.
