Kenworth Truck Co. announced a California-compliant version of Paccar’s MX-13 diesel engine is now available for its T680, T880 and W990 Class 8 trucks.
The engine is compliant with forthcoming California Air Resources Board regulations that aim for a 90% reduction in nitrogen engine emissions compared with current diesel engines. The rules apply to model year 2024 and later medium- and heavy-duty diesel engines.
Kirkland, Wash.-based Kenworth — a Paccar brand — said orders for trucks with the CARB-compliant engine are now open and production is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2024.
