KENWORTH TRUCKS TURNS 90 * USA
* Washington - Here's to 90 years and many more for Kenworth
Kirkland,WASH,USA -Fleet Owner, by Brian Straight -Feb. 20, 2013: -- Kenworth Truck Co. is celebrating 90 years in business in 2013 ... Founded in 1923 by Harry W. Kent and Edgar K. Worthington, the company built its legacy on building the right truck for each customer’s application, and “build that truck to last” ... That first year, the small Seattle truck manufacturer produced 78 six-cylinder, gasoline-powered trucks... The company was the first to install diesel engines as standard equipment, it said, in 1933. It also noted that it sold the first sleeper cab in 1936... Along the company has produced more than 900,000 trucks and achieved many milestones... At the 2012 Mid-America Trucking Show, Kenworth pushed its aerodynamics envelop again with the introduction of the T680...
Kenworth’s claim is that it makes the World’s Best Trucks. While some might argue that point, 90 years of building trucks is a pretty good yardstick to have on your side of the argument...
