PACCAR recognizes its Columbus, Mississippi engine factory for 10 years of manufacturing excellence and a strong commitment to its community. “PACCAR is very proud of the Columbus, Mississippi engine factory’s achievements in the first 10 years,” said Preston Feight, PACCAR Chief Executive Officer. “Our excellent employees and the plant’s advanced manufacturing capabilities have created a great environment for building the industry’s best engines.” Planning & Partnering Planning for the engine plant started in 2006 when an international PACCAR team of experienced managers and engineers from Kenworth, Peterbilt, and DAF were tasked with laying the groundwork for a state-of-the-art factory. PACCAR chose Columbus, Mississippi due to its proximity to important transportation logistics networks, talented people, and the ability to partner with nearby educational institutions that complement the workforce. Industry-Leading Operations A groundbreaking ceremony in 2007 marked the start of construction for the $400 million facilities. The innovative factory design and industry-leading operations have resulted in many honors for manufacturing excellence and environmental impacts over the last decade, such as zero-waste-to-landfill, and ISO 14000 environmental management, and ISO 9001-TS quality management certifications. Additional investments in factory enhancements and production capacity have positioned the plant to meet engine demand over the next decade. The Columbus, Mississippi factory has produced more than 250,000 PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines to date. Bonds & Internship PACCAR establishes close ties with colleges in the area and hires or offers internships PACCAR established close ties with colleges in the area including Mississippi State University, Mississippi University for Women, and East Mississippi Community College to help develop a strong local pool of highly skilled employees. These relationships continue to flourish and provide mutual benefit. Not only does the PACCAR engine factory hire or offer internships to associates from surrounding colleges, but employees can also earn valuable training certifications and degrees to enhance their knowledge and skillsets. Diesel Engine Manufacturers PACCAR designed the MX-11 and MX-13 engines to achieve unparalleled quality, efficiency, and durability. Each unit carries a design life of one million miles, providing customers with a significant boost to uptime. MX engine blocks are made from compacted graphite iron (CGI), a material that is 75% stronger and 20% lighter than gray iron. CGI offers greater strength and temperature resistance than traditional metals, allowing the block to maintain excellent structural integrity while expanding and contracting. PACCAR is the first diesel engine manufacturer to use this lightweight material in both the head and block portions. Employees Commitment “The level of commitment PACCAR engine factory employees have towards their work and their community is something that really resonates within the Peterbilt family and our customers.” “We would like to congratulate everyone at the Columbus, Mississippi engine factory for a decade of delivering high-quality PACCAR MX engines that benefit our customers in many ways,” said Jason Skoog, Peterbilt General Manager, and PACCAR Vice President. Delivering Fuel-Efficient Engines “Congratulations to the PACCAR engine factory and its tremendous, dedicated employees who have supported Kenworth fleets and truck operators with PACCAR MX engines for the past decade,” said Kevin Baney, Kenworth General Manager, and PACCAR Vice President. “The factory has played a major role in Kenworth’s growth by providing fuel-efficient engines for our customers throughout the U.S. and Canada.”

PACCAR also designs and manufactures advanced powertrains, provides financial services and information technology, and distributes truck parts related to its principal business.

PACCAR announced that a Kenworth T680 fuel cell electric vehicle and a battery-electric Peterbilt Model 579EV became the first Class 8 zero-emissions vehicles to drive to the 14,115-foot summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado. Power and Drivability Both vehicles displayed power and exhibited drivability over the 156 twisting turns and switchbacks during the 4,700-foot elevation gain to the summit. The trucks handily negotiated grades between 7 to 10 percent over the famous 12.42-mile Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course. “We are very excited about the work Kenworth and Peterbilt have done in the development of zero-emissions technology. Conquering Pikes Peak demonstrates PACCAR’s leadership in fuel cell and commercial vehicle electrification,” said Kyle Quinn, PACCAR chief technology officer. Kenworth zero-emissions program The Kenworth T680 fuel cell electric vehicle offers 470 hp and a 350-mile range with a 15-minute refill time. Kenworth and Toyota Motor North America are collaborating on a project to develop 10 zero-emission Kenworth T680 trucks powered by Toyota hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrains. Kenworth zero-emissions program “It’s a great accomplishment for the Kenworth T680 fuel cell electric vehicle to summit Pikes Peak. The Kenworth T680 trucks will be placed in operation with our customers at the Port of Los Angeles over the next few months,” said Kevin Baney, Kenworth general manager, and PACCAR vice president. “The comprehensive Kenworth zero-emissions program also includes the Class 8 Kenworth T680E and medium-duty Kenworth K270E and K370E battery electric vehicles.” All-electric power model The all-electric powertrain uses thermally-controlled Lithium Iron Phosphate battery packs The Peterbilt Model 579EV that climbed Pikes Peak is designed for optimal weight distribution and performance. The fully integrated, all-electric powertrain uses thermally-controlled Lithium Iron Phosphate battery packs to provide a range of up to 150 miles. When used in conjunction with a recommended DC fast-charger, the state-of-the-art, high-energy-density battery packs can be recharged in 3-4 hours, making the Model 579EV ideal for regional haul, port, pickup and delivery, and last-mile operations. The Model 579EV delivers up to 670 hp and features regenerative braking that allowed the battery packs to recharge while descending from the peak, offering extended range. Delivers Exceptional Performance During Peterbilt’s extensive validation program, the Model 579EV has exceeded expectations and delivered outstanding performance. There are currently 22 Peterbilt Model 579EVs on the road with over 50,000 miles of real-world customer operations. Ready for the road  “Taking the Peterbilt Model 579EV to the summit of ‘America’s Mountain’ is an important milestone for Peterbilt and our entire lineup of battery-electric commercial vehicles." "Being the first battery-electric Class 8 truck to climb to the top of Pikes Peak is further validation of all the real-world miles Peterbilt has accumulated across our entire EV test fleet and demonstrates we are ready to deliver production vehicles to our customers next year,” said Jason Skoog, Peterbilt general manager, and PACCAR vice president.
