By SiefkesPetit Communications

If you didn’t hear the news, last month Kenworth Truck Company announced it will offer factory-installed, front drive axles for the Kenworth T270 Class 6 and T370 Class 7 models.

“This is Kenworth’s first factory-installed, front drive axle on our medium duty product line,” said Judy McTigue, Kenworth director of marketing planning and research. “We’re targeting utility service, construction vehicles, oilfield service and boom trucks, in addition to municipal applications, such as fire and emergency vehicles.”

The new front drive axle is now available for order in ratings ranging from 10,000 lbs. to 14,000 lbs. on Kenworth T270s and T370s equipped with a PACCAR PX-6 engine. This fall, Kenworth will expand front drive axle ratings to 16,000 lbs. equipped with PACCAR PX-8 engines.

In 2009, Kenworth Truck Company became the first truck manufacturer to receive the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Air Excellence

 award in recognition of its environmentally-friendly products. In addition, Kenworth is the recipient of the 2009 J.D. Power and Associates awards for Highest in Customer Satisfaction for both Over the Road Segment and Pickup and Delivery Segment Class 8 Trucks, and for Heavy Duty Dealer Service.
