Kenworth Trucks in Australia...they make 'em tough down-under

Back


Text to go with the clip: Some time ago a mate down-under sent Biglorryblog a DVD on Paccar's Kenworth operations. The title? As you'd expect with typical understatement: "Australian made. World's Best". So I thought I'd provide you with a short taster of it. Actually Kenworth has a very impressive market share in both Australia and New Zealand not least through its classic K104 cabover tractor which has been the mainstay for B-Double operators for years. And the Kaywhoppa bonneted behemoths are number one roadtrain fodder too. The Aussies have been building Kenworths at their Bayswater, Victoria plant since 1971 and have grasped that thing that many "global" truck makers often miss. Namely that there's no substitute for building a truck that meets the local market conditions head-on...rather than offer a product from a remote factory thousands of miles away.
