Kenworth Truck Company's new aerodynamic T700 truck is now in full production at its manufacturing plant in Chillicothe, Ohio.


"We're seeing positive demand for the T700 and expect it to increase as customers purchase fuel-efficient, aerodynamic trucks as their business and the economy strengthens," said Marilyn Santangelo, Kenworth assistant general manager for operations.

Last month Kenworth received an order for 500 T700s from Stevens Transport in Dallas.

Kenworth says the truck has the lowest aerodynamic drag of any Kenworth truck in company history and earned Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay program certification. The T700, which targets over the road and team driver operations, offers a wide-cab and 75-inch Aerodyne sleeper with 8-foot cathedral ceiling, forward lighting, and excellent serviceability.

The T700 may be ordered with either the 12.9-liter Paccar MX engine or 15-liter Cummins ISX15 engine.
