Industrials

Kenworth Truck Company is an American truck manufacturer. Founded in 1923 as the successor to Gersix Motor Company, Kenworth specializes in production of heavy-duty (Class 8) and medium-duty (Class 5 to 7) commercial vehicles. Headquartered in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland, Washington, it has been a wholly owned subsidiary of PACCAR since 1945, operating alongside sister company and marketplace rival Peterbilt Motors. Kenworth marked several firsts in truck production: the company introduced a raised-roof sleeper cab and the first heavy-duty truck with an aerodynamically optimized body design, and the Kenworth W900 has been produced continuously since 1961, one of the longest production runs of any vehicle in automotive history.
