The agreement concerns the 14Xe ePowertrain, which is designed for integration in Class 8 electric trucks. PACCAR currently fits the 14Xe in Kenworth’s T680E and in Peterbilt’s 579EV tractor units and 520EV refuse trucks. It considers Meritor to be a “key partner” in delivering “cutting-edge electrification solutions” to the North American market. The two companies are also currently collaborating on the ‘SuperTruck 3’ federal project – see T&BB December 2021 for further details.
