The redesigned PACCAR Powertrain website aids Kenworth customers in their search for the latest product information on PACCAR engines, PACCAR transmissions, and PACCAR axles. The website features new engine and powertrain videos, and updated literature supported by enhanced navigation and mobile-responsive design to provide seamless access on any device.  

The integrated PACCAR Powertrain, which includes the PACCAR MX engine, PACCAR 12-speed automated transmission, and PACCAR 40K tandem rear axles, is engineered to optimize performance to maximize the value provided to fleets and truck operators. 

The 12.9L PACCAR MX-13 engine is rated up to 510hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque. The 10.8L PACCAR MX-11 engine is rated up to 430hp and 1,650 lb-ft of torque. The PACCAR MX engine series has an industry-leading B10 design life of one million miles in line haul applications, which means 90 percent of PACCAR MX engines will log one million miles without a major overhaul. 

The PACCAR PX-9 and PACCAR PX-7 power Kenworth’s medium duty conventionals and cabovers. The PACCAR PX-9 engine is rated up to 450hp and 1,250 lb-ft of torque. The PACCAR PX-7 has ratings of up to 360hp and 800 lb-ft of torque.

The PACCAR 12-speed automated transmission is ideal for linehaul and regional haul applications up to 110,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight. The transmission is up to 105 lbs. lighter than comparable transmissions. 

The proprietary PACCAR 40K tandem rear axles are rated at 40,000 lbs and supports a gross combination weight of up to 80,000 lbs.

The PACCAR front steer axle delivers a lightweight, durable option to enhance customer vehicle payload. Available with weight ratings of 20,000 lbs. and 22,000 lbs, the front axle is designed for demanding applications such as construction, heavy haul, refuse, and other vocational uses.
