Kenworth is introducing the new K360 Class 7 cabover model for urban delivery companies. The Kenworth K360 is for pick-up and delivery, paper recycling, plumbing, electrical, furniture, food and vending companies that deliver goods in urban areas and require a highly maneuverable truck with 22- to 26-foot body size.

The K360 is based on the DAF LF55, which was European Truck of the Year in 2002, the company said. European customers have touted the high-volume payloads through its low chassis weight and clear back of cab.

The 33,000-lb. GVWR K360 will initially be launched with a 5.9-liter PACCAR engine and 6-speed manual transmissions. The initial offering will be in a 4×2 Class 7 truck configuration. Horsepower rating is 220 hp with maximum torque of 605 lb.-ft.

Full production launch of the K360 is scheduled for late next year when it will be offered with the new PACCAR PX-6 engine family. Horsepower ratings will range from 220 hp to 280 hp with maximum torque of 620 lb.-ft. A combination of automatic and manual transmissions will be offered.
