PACCAR ready to storm Brisbane

There will be something for everyone at the PACCAR World stand at this year's Brisbane Truck Show (May 16-19), whether your interest lies in a specific Kenworth or DAF truck, branded merchandise or a range of complementary services.

PACCAR Australia says it will feature 12 new Kenworth and DAF models on its stand in Brisbane, including its recently released T410 and T360 models.

According to PACCAR Australia's Director, Sales & Marketing, Brad May, the display will showcase not just the trucks themselves, but the company's end-to-end transport solutions.

"Truck buyers are looking for a total ownership solution from their commercial vehicle supplier," said Mr May.

"The road transport industry is very competitive, and owners of Kenworth and DAF trucks need exceptional products that are supported by a complete range of services that allow them to focus on their core businesses.

"PACCAR dealerships are 'one-stop' trucking outlets – where we can connect operators with the right products and finance solutions and properly support them with the highest quality parts and servicing once on the road.

"The PACCAR World stand at this year's Brisbane Truck Show again reflects this holistic approach and patrons will see truck and engine displays, as well as have access to PACCAR Financial and PacLease experts, Parts and Service personnel and the much loved PACCAR merchandise range."

From the Kenworth stable, visitors will be able to inspect the new T410 and T360, which follow on from the introduction of the T610 a couple of years ago in adopting the platform's new 2.1-metre-wide cab.

The T360 carries over from the T359 as Kenworth's construction heavyweight, and is available in 6x4, 8x4 and 10x4 formats. It's powered by Cummins' ISLe5 engine in a variety of ratings with a choice of Allison auto, Eaton manual or Eaton AMT transmissions.

Suitable for a wide variety of applications, the T410 carries over from the T409 MX, and boast a raft of updates and improvements. With a GVC rating of up to 70t, it's powered by PACCAR's MX-13 engine in either 460 or 510hp options, with a choice of Eaton manual, Eaton AMT or the new PACCAR 12-speed auto transmission.

Along with Kenworth's EBSS (Electronic Brake Safety Systems) suite of safety features and the optional Bendix Wingman Fusion package (with collision warning/mitigation and radar cruise control, among other features), both trucks boast improved visibility and safer ingress/egress, among a host of other enhancements.

Also on show from Kenworth will be the T610 and T610SAR, the latter with Kenworth's new 1400mm sleeper, along with a K200 cabover (with 2.8m sleeper cab and Cummins X15 Euro 6 engine), and a T909 with 1270mm sleeper.

Taking pride of place for DAF will be the CF85.510, which is now assembled at the PACCAR production facility in Bayswater, Melbourne. Joining it will be Euro 6 FA LF260 12T and FA LF290 18T 4x2 cab/chassis models, which were introduced to the Australian market in late 2018, along with DAF's flagship, the XF105.510.

From complementary services perspective, PACCAR Australia will have a cast of in-house experts on hand to guide visitors through the full gamut of its offering, including PACCAR Financial, PacLease, and PACCAR Parts.

And, of course, no visit to the PACCAR World stand would be complete without checking out the wide array of Kenworth and DAF-branded merchandise and apparel.

PACCAR World will be found at stand 40 on the foyer level of the Brisbane Truck Show, which will be held in the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre over May 16-19.
