Kenworth announced its plan to stop making some of its well-known truck models starting in 2026. This includes the W900, T800W, and C500 models.

What's driving the change: Emissions standards and parts shortages are pushing the change. Kenworth wants to focus on newer tech and efficient models.

• These models have been a part of Kenworth's lineup for a long time, making this a tough decision for the company.
• The shift is all about improving efficiency and integrating new technologies to meet industry demands.

What they’re saying: “This decision was hard because these models are a big part of our history,” said Kevin Haygood from Kenworth. “But we're committed to bringing new, efficient trucks that our drivers can rely on.”

The next steps: Kenworth will support customers and dealers during this transition. The W990 and T880 models will continue carrying the torch of Kenworth's renowned reliability and driver comfort.

Important detail: A final call for orders on the retiring models will be made later this year. Interested buyers should act fast and place orders soon.
