Kenworth developing PACCAR MX Engine Dealer Council

Kenworth has established a PACCAR MX Engine Dealer Council comprised of leading Kenworth dealer principals and Kenworth service managers. The council works extensively with Kenworth and PACCAR executives to identify continuous improvement initiatives, which ensure best-in-class fuel economy, reliability and lowest total cost of operation, according to Kenworth.

The members serving in 2015 on Kenworth’s PACCAR MX Engine Dealer Council are Tom Bertolino and Mike D’Agostini, NorCal Kenworth in Sacramento, Calif.; Carl Herzog, CIT Kenworth Chicago in Mokena, Ill.; Terry Stalter, CIT Kenworth in Normal, Ill.; Mike Murphy and Zach Newton, MHC Kenworth in Leawood, Kan. Bertolino serves as the 2015 council chairman.

The fuel-efficient PACCAR MX-13 engine offers excellent reliability and durability, lightweight design, low cost of ownership and quiet operation, according to the company. The PACCAR MX-13 is rated up to 500 HP and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque and is available for Kenworth Class 8 models.

There are more than 75,000 PACCAR MX-13 engines operating in Class 8 trucks in the United States and Canada, the company said. Kenworth dealers provide dependable PACCAR MX-13 engine support through certified technicians, well-stocked PACCAR MX-13 parts inventory, extensive service hours and excellent service turnaround time.
