Kenworth Truck Company, a subsidiary of US-based truck manufacturer Paccar, has won an order from Coca-Cola Enterprises for 150 Kenworth T370 diesel-electric tractors and 35 Kenworth T370 hybrid trucks.

Coca-Cola Enterprises uses tractors as its standard bulk delivery truck for large deliveries, and plans to deploy the Kenworth hybrid tractors to Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Montreal, New Orleans, New York, Portland, San Antonio, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Washington DC.

Coca-Cola Enterprises plans to deploy the Kenworth T370 hybrid trucks to Albuquerque, Boston, Cincinnati, Columbus, Jacksonville, Knoxville, Las Vegas, Missoula, New Orleans, and Seattle, joining the fleet of 120 Kenworth 12-bay hybrid delivery trucks.

According to Kenworth, the T370 hybrid trucks are equipped with a Paccar PX-6 engine, rated up to 280hp and up to 660lb-ft of torque, and the Eaton diesel-electric hybrid power system.

Bill Kozek, general manager of Kenworth and vice president of Paccar, said: Coca-Cola Enterprises's commitment to deploy fuel-saving Kenworth hybrid tractors and trucks into the North American market is an outstanding demonstration of corporate responsibility and sustainability.
