Kenworth K270E and K370E cabovers are ideal for local pickup and delivery and short haul operations. The comfortable, quiet K270E and K370E cab offers 3-person seating, easy access, excellent visibility and touch screen display, the company says.
The Kenworth medium-duty electric vehicles possess a tight turning radius, ample horsepower to maintain 40 mph on a 6 percent grade while fully loaded and provides enough torque to start the load from a stop on a 20 percent grade.
Kenworth battery-electric vehicles offer two direct-drive motors rated at 355 hp and 469 hp, depending on application.
