“Paccar reported excellent revenues and net income for the first quarter of 2022,” CEO Preston Feight said in a statement. “Paccar Parts achieved record quarterly sales and profits as its outstanding operational performance enhanced uptime for customers. Paccar Financial Services delivered record profitability due to excellent portfolio quality, strong new business volume and high used-truck prices.”

Paccar has several new trucks on the market that helped add to quarterly sales figures. The Kenworth T680, Peterbilt Model 579 and DAF XG+ trucks are focused on aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, uptime and the human-machine interface. The company also has its MX-13 Engine on the market.
“Paccar’s investments in vehicle, powertrain and technology initiatives are delivering increased profitability,” Feight said. “Customer demand for Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF’s new heavy- and medium-truck models is very strong as customers benefit from the trucks’ industry-leading fuel efficiency, reliability and driver comfort.
“The Paccar team is doing an excellent job of managing supply base variability, and we are increasing build rates at our truck factories.”
