New Kenworth T680 Natural Gas Truck Leads Kenworth Lineup for ACT Expo 2014
Kenworth Truck Company will exhibit four natural gas trucks in its booth (No. 1157) during the Alternative Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo May 5-8 at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, Calif. The ACT Expo is called North America's largest clean fleet show representing all weight classes and alternative fuels.
Leading the way is the new Kenworth T680 natural gas truck, which was showcased at the 2014 Mid-America Trucking Show. "The new natural gas-powered Kenworth T680 offers fuel-saving aerodynamics and cost-efficient natural gas to provide excellent operating cost benefits for truck operators in various applications," said Alan Fennimore, Kenworth vocational marketing manager. The T680 with the Cummins Westport ISX12 G natural gas engine will be available later this year.
