The trucks, produced at the Kenworth factory in Renton, Wash., integrate Toyota fuel cell technology into the T680. The price is expected to be $52,500 and the company reported more than 20,000 pre-ordered trucks.Along with providing fleets a powerful, zero-emission vehicle for whatever the job demands, this truck has the secondary burden of kickstarting the Mahoning Valley, a Rust Belt region with a record of working hard and having hardly anything to show for it. The truck was part of the Zero Emission Cargo Transport (ZECT) demonstration project managed through Southern California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). 07/21/2020 PACCAR Achieves Good Quarterly Revenues and Profits; 07/14/2020 PACCAR Declares Regular Quarterly Cash Dividend; 04/28/2020 Leyland Trucks Earns the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade The state’s air pollution board will soon require fleets to buy more zero-emission vehicles. “And hopefully the results of this test will validate technology that has benefits across the state and Circumpolar North. PACCAR Displays Innovative Autonomous and Electric Trucks at CES 2020 January 7, 2020, Bellevue, Washington – PACCAR is participating in the CES 2020 show in Las Vegas, Nevada this week. Anchorage gets to demonstrate innovation and prove sustainability," Mayor Ethan Berkowitz said. In the longer term, hydrogen could be promising for long-haul applications, due to its high energy density and its relatively fast refuelling times.“First, we have to have the technologies, and that can be battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cells as they come down the line, so one element is just being aware of the technology and having it on vehicles,” he said.“The second element that’s going to be critical is having good distribution when it comes to market, a dealer network that works really well. “Medium-term demand for zero-emissions vehicles will be primarily in refuse, port and local delivery applications which do not require long-distance travel or a network of refueling infrastructure, as well as in locations with government-mandated zero emissions.”Paccar expects to start delivering battery-electric trucks to more customers in 2021, the company announced this summer.The city of Anchorage, Alaska, is one of those customers. The Kenworth T680 day cab’s fuel cell combines compressed hydrogen gas and air to produce electricity with water vapor emitted at the tailpipe. Paccar global CEO Preston Feight has outlined his company’s strategy to build battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks during a recent conference call with industry analysts and investors.Rivals such as Freightliner and Volvo are starting to deploy electric trucks and have announced plans for commercial production. Paccar’s Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF brands now have over 60 alternative-fuel trucks being tested in real-world applications in North America and Europe.Two battery-electric pickups expected in the next year, the Lordstown Endurance and Rivian R1T, both recently released videos showing what they can do.A few highlights included the silver truck trudging through a dirt road in the woods, made easier by the intelligent traction provided by the four independent hub motors, and its alternative use as a mobile generator, able to power worksite tools via 120-volt, 30-amp outlets near the tailgate.The Endurance is expected to have a range in excess of 250 miles, with the four in-hub motors generating 600 HP with a 7,500-lb. Shell provided hydrogen fuel and infrastructure for the project. Torque, battery and payload capacity details have not yet been provided.
