at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. CES 2024 runs from
January 9-12, with PACCAR’s exhibit located in booth #3501, West Hall of the
Las Vegas Convention Center.
“PACCAR is developing the transportation industry’s most important
technologies. These include industry-leading battery electric and hydrogen
fuel cell electric vehicles that help customers operate with the lowest
emissions and outstanding efficiency,” said John Rich, PACCAR senior vice
president and chief technology officer. “We are investing in multiple zero
emissions technologies in order to have the right trucks and transportation
solutions for our customers.”

including:
- Kenworth’s T680 Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)
- Peterbilt’s SuperTruck II
- DAF’s XD Battery Electric Vehicle
- PACCAR Parts’ Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions
PACCAR is leveraging next-generation hydrogen fuel cell technology developed
in partnership with Toyota Motor North America, Inc. The companies have
expanded their partnership to develop and commercialize the technology in
Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt Model 579 Class 8 trucks. The powertrain was
recently awarded the Zero Emission Powertrain certification by the
California Air Resources Board. The Kenworth T680 FCEV on display at CES,
and the hydrogen fuel cell powered Peterbilt Model 579, offer uncompromised
zero emissions heavy-duty operations with up to a 450-mile range, an 82,000
lbs. max gross combination weight rating, and refueling times that are
consistent with traditional diesel trucks. To date, PACCAR has received more
than 150 paid deposits for Kenworth and Peterbilt FCEVs with customer
deliveries commencing in 2025.
The Peterbilt SuperTruck II is a testbed for future product technologies. It
was developed as part of a U.S. Department of Energy program to improve the
efficiency of goods transportation. The SuperTruck II features an advanced
clean diesel engine that uses waste heat recovery to achieve a 55% Brake
Thermal Efficiency improvement, an efficient 48-volt mild hybrid powertrain,
electrified engine accessories and enhanced aerodynamics.
The DAF XD Battery Electric truck is designed for urban and suburban
transport, delivering up to 310 miles on a single charge. With 325 kW fast
charging, the truck can charge from 0-80% in just over 45 minutes or 0-100%
in less than two hours. The DAF XD Battery Electric truck can achieve a
daily range of more than 600 miles with the largest available battery pack
and strategic charging.
PACCAR Parts will showcase DC fast chargers available for Kenworth,
Peterbilt and DAF electric vehicles. PACCAR Parts’ electric vehicle charger
portfolio strategically covers PACCAR’s full range of electric vehicles.
“PACCAR brings an industry-leading portfolio of zero emissions vehicles and
technologies, and over a century of heavy-duty innovation, to support
customers’ operational and environmental goals,” added Rich.
PACCAR is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture and customer
support of high-quality light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks under the
