PACCAR is launching its SuperTruck 3 program to continue the
development of its Class 8 Kenworth and Peterbilt battery electric
and fuel cell vehicles, along with its vehicle charging stations.
SuperTruck 3 is a DOE initiative to develop state of the art zero
emissions medium- and heavy-duty trucks. PACCAR received a $33
million matching grant for the highly selective program. “The
SuperTruck 3 award underscores PACCAR’s industry leadership in zero
emissions commercial vehicles,” said John Rich, PACCAR chief
technology officer.
The SuperTruck initiative was launched in 2009 by the DOE to
improve heavy-duty truck freight efficiency. Kenworth and Peterbilt
successfully developed state-of-the-art vehicles in the prior
SuperTruck and SuperTruck 2 programs. “Many of the technologies
developed in the earlier SuperTruck programs were deployed in
production vehicles, benefiting the environment and PACCAR’s
customers,” said Kevin Baney, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR
vice president. “Kenworth, Peterbilt, PACCAR Parts, and the PACCAR
Technical Center are collaborating on the SuperTruck 3
program.”
“Peterbilt is honored to join the SuperTruck 3 program to
advance battery and fuel cell electric trucks, in addition to
developing the required charging infrastructure,” said Jason Skoog,
Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “The program’s
intent is to lower carbon emissions and increase freight efficiency
that will enhance our customers’ operations and achieve
environmental goals.”
PACCAR is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture
and customer support of high-quality light-, medium- and heavy-duty
trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. PACCAR
also designs and manufactures advanced powertrains, provides
financial services and information technology, and distributes
truck parts related to its principal business.
