    A California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant version of the Paccar MX-13 engine is available for use in Kenworth heavy trucks that meet 2024 requirements.

    The Paccar MX-13 CARB-compliant engine features new aftertreatment hardware that meets stringent California low nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions requirements. The diesel engine utilizes a twin-canister selective catalytic reduction (SCR) aftertreatment along with more optimized emissions controls systems while continuing to provide excellent reliability, performance, and efficiency, according to the company.

    “Our customers are looking for better options to successfully navigate the complexities of the evolving regulatory landscape,” said Kevin Haygood, assistant general manager for sales and marketing, in a statement, “and Kenworth models equipped with Paccar’s MX-13 CARB-compliant engine achieve compliance with stringent emissions regulations while also delivering a solution that drives increased engine efficiency and enhanced fuel economy,”

    The CARB-compliant MX-13 is available in two options: a 510-horsepower rating with 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque and a 455-horsepower rating with 1,650 lb.-ft. of torque. Together with the Paccar TX transmissions and Paccar DX rear axles, the MX-13 CARB-compliant engine allows for an industry leading efficient and integrated low-NOx solution, according to the company.

    The new CARB-compliant engine is available to order now on select Class 8 models, including the T680, T880, and W990. Production will begin in the fourth quarter of 2024.

    Gray truck on a gray day, but a bright driving experience: 2021 Model 567 dump is ready to roll at Ohio Peterbilt. It has very low miles, the right specs for northeastern Ohio, and looks and performs like new. That makes it a compelling argument for buying “used.”
