Kenworth is enhancing its engine line-up for 2013 with the addition of the next generation of PACCAR proprietary engines, which the company says are designed to deliver industry-leading performance, reliability and fuel efficiency.
Kenworth customers can now specify the new PACCAR MX-13, PACCAR PX-9 and PACCAR PX-7 engines on new Kenworth truck orders placed through Kenworth dealers in the United States and Canada for delivery in 2013.
“The new engine line-up further strengthens Kenworth’s vertical integration,” said Judy McTigue, Kenworth director of marketing planning and research. “PACCAR’s latest engine technology provides efficient and productive performance for customers in a wide range of truck applications.”

Kenworth says the 12.9-liter PACCAR MX-13 engine is designed to meet the demands of heavy duty truck applications. The engine is available for Kenworth Class 8 models, including the Kenworth T660, T680, T700, T800 and W900.
“The new PACCAR MX-13 engine offers a wide range of horsepower and torque ratings to meet customer power requirements. This engine opens the Kenworth door to additional customers in vocational applications, including logging, dumps and hauling applications over 100,000 lbs.,” said McTigue. The engine’s horsepower and torque begin at 380 hp and 1,450 lb-ft, respectively.
The PACCAR MX-13 utilizes the latest common rail, fuel-delivery technology, which enables injection pressures of up to 2,500 bar and significantly enhances fuel efficiency and performance.
