“It is exciting times working on batteries at PACCAR! We are currently developing the next generation technologies that will make it possible for more medium and heavy-duty electric trucks to serve in more applications. I am convinced that the work we do today is setting strong foundations for a widespread adoption of cleaner technologies for the electric trucks of tomorrow.”
Emerging Technologies
PACCAR is heavily invested in multiple alternative powertrain technologies such as battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell technology while maintaining a commitment to leading with the world's cleanest engine technology for our MX-11 and MX-13 internal combustion engines. Alternative fuels are a big part of near-zero emissions. The DAF XF technology truck was honored as Innovation Truck of the Year in 2022 for their near-zero emissions hydrogen internal combustion technology.
Safety
PACCAR is committed to developing autonomous driving capabilities with our partners. PACCAR has a partnership with Aurora, a leader in autonomous vehicle technology followed by a partnership with FedEx and Aurora on an autonomous technology pilot project. PACCAR is also heavily involved in developing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that increase driver and road safety.
Environmental, Social and Governance
PACCAR believes that environmental responsibility is essential to the company’s success. We’re investing in sustainability for the long-haul. The key values of quality, innovation, integrity and operational excellence are central to our business strategy. PACCAR and Toyota Motor North America expanded our joint efforts to develop and produce zero emissions, hydrogen fuel cell Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks powered by Toyota's next-gen hydrogen fuel cell modules.
