Kenworth’s T270 and T370 conventionals and K270 and K370 cabovers propelled Kenworth to its medium duty market share record.

Kenworth achieved retail sales market share records for the United States and Canada of 15.8 percent in Class 8 trucks and 11.7 percent in medium duty vehicles in 2020.

"Our industry-leading, premium quality Kenworth T680 on-highway flagship, T880 vocational leader and iconic long-hood W990 models drove sales and record Class 8 market share in 2020. Kenworth had excellent performance in both the on-highway and vocational segments," said Laura Bloch, Kenworth assistant general manager of sales and marketing.

Kenworth's T270 and T370 conventionals and K270 and K370 cabovers propelled Kenworth to its medium duty market share record.

"These versatile and reliable models serve a wide range of applications, and our customers count on them to provide high productivity and reliability over years of service," Bloch said.

"Our Class 8 and medium duty market share records were driven by the outstanding customer support provided by the Kenworth dealer network, the best in the industry.
