Kenworth unveils new medium-duty lineup

Apr 05, 2021 Kenworth hit a record 11.7% retail sales market share last year for medium duty vehicles in the U.S. and Canada. That number could grow quickly from events that began five years ago when Kenworth started the process of redesigning its Class 5-7 vehicle lineup. On Wednesday, April 1, Kenworth rolled out production versions of an all-new lineup in Phoenix for a ride-and-drive before making an official public introduction Monday. Kenworth s new designs were drawn up from extensive customer and driver feedback. The production-ready versions are purposefully built to more fully address the critical market needs of buyers and drivers of medium-duty trucks.

Kenworth T680 Test Drive

The T680 got its first significant update since it first rolled down the Chillicothe, Ohio, assembly line. Jason Cannon/CCJ Kenworth in 2012 introduced the T680 as a third-generation aerodynamic conventional tractor and eventual successor to the T660 and T700. Last year the on-highway flagship helped propel Kenworth to a 15.8% Class 8 marketshare in the U.S. and Canada – a record for the company.  When it debuted nine years ago, the T680 was the lightest truck in the industry and was Kenworth’s crown jewel of engineering. “Back in 2012,” noted Kenworth General Manager Kevin Baney, “we were like,  ‘This is as good as you can get.’ We didn’t think we could make it more aerodynamic.”
