Paccar Introduces MX-11 Engine to North American Market
Paccar introduced its MX-11 engine to the North American market after installing more than 10,000 in Europe since 2013.
The 430-horsepower engine puts out 1,500 pound-feet of torque and is designed to be lighter and to provide enhanced fuel economy, according to the Bellevue, Washington-based manufacturer.
“The Paccar MX-11 engine is designed to deliver optimum performance and fuel economy, industry-leading durability and reliability, and a quiet operating environment for the driver,” Landon Sproull, Paccar assistant vice president, said in a statement.
“Paccar’s over 50 years of engine development and manufacturing expertise have established the company as one of the leading diesel engine manufacturers in the world,” Sproull said.
The 10.8-liter engine has a life of 1 million miles achieved in part by its graphite iron engine block and double overhead camshaft design, Paccar said.
The engine is capable for over-the-road as well as vocational applications. The MX-11 is scheduled to be available with Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks starting in January 2016.
