Kenworth Truck Company announced that Kenworth NavPlus—a PACCAR proprietary navigation and business technology system—is now available for order on Kenworth Class 5-8 trucks.

Kenworth NavPlus is standard on Kenworth trucks with all premium interior trim offerings and on Kenworth diesel-electric hybrid vehicles. The system is available as an optional upgrade with all other Kenworth interior trim packages.

“The Kenworth NavPlus system comes at a good time for the trucking industry,” said Judy McTigue, Kenworth director of marketing planning and research. “With high diesel fuel prices, truck operators and fleets must be even more productive while still meeting more stringent regulations. Kenworth NavPlus provides truck operators and fleets a more productive and smarter way to travel down the highway.”

The factory-installed, in-dash system is designed for life on the road. At the heart of Kenworth NavPlus is an on-board navigation system, which provides drivers with true truck-optimized routes from Garmin, customized to truck and load specifications, McTigue said. The system also offers information about height and weight limits so drivers can steer clear of restricted roads and streets.
