Kenworth Unveils New Interior Package For T2000 60-inch Aerodyne
LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 21, 2001 - Kenworth Truck Company today expanded its product offering for private fleet and for hire customers with the introduction of a new interior package for its T2000 60-inch Aerodyne® model. The announcement came at the annual Mid-America Trucking Show.
"The T2000 combines fuel-efficient aerodynamic styling and driver-comfort amenities, especially making it a popular truck for private fleets and for-hire operators," said Ed Caudill, Kenworth general manager and PACCAR vice president. "These interior enhancements illustrate Kenworth's continued commitment to evolve our truck designs to better serve customer needs."
The new interior package includes additional storage space, a 42-inch liftable bunk, and an interior style and colors consistent with the Kenworth T2000 75-inch Aerodyne model.
"We added convenient storage in the cab header and storage underneath the bunk," said Steve Gilligan, Kenworth general marketing manager. "To foster a good night's sleep, we increased the liftable bunk from 39 inches to 42 inches in width while keeping the 80-inch length."
As for styling, customers can select the standard Splendor or the optional Diamond VIT interior package for the T2000 60-inch Aerodyne. Both packages are available in slate gray, brickyard red, steel blue and desert tan with accenting secondary and trim colors.
"Kenworth is especially known for its traditional Diamond interior featuring all-vinyl, hand-stitched diamond pleats," said Gilligan. "It's a warm, inviting and very upscale package that has proven very popular for the driver or fleet that wants the ultimate in comfort."
Kenworth Truck Company, a division of PACCAR Inc, is a leading manufacturer of heavy and medium duty trucks. Kenworth's Internet home page is at www.kenworth.com.
