About Kenworth T600

The Kenworth T600 is made for line, regional, bulk haul, pick-up and delivery. The T600 was a radical shift in truck design compared to its cousin the W900, from which it was based. The major difference between the two was the massive face-lift the T600 received, which resulted in up to 22% better fuel economy due to decreased drag.

It is easy to recognize a Kenworth T600 by its aerodynamic design, which not only looks charming, but it conserves up to $25,000 a year in fuel. This 1989 Kenworth T600 is owned by Blue Star Transport Ltd, a private company categorized under Messenger Service. Blue Star Transport offers Mail Courier Service, International Parcel Post, Bartolini Courier Service, Quick Courier Service and Overnight Parcel Delivery.

The design for the T600 began in the mid 1970s, during the 1973 oil crisis with Paccar researchers experimenting with wax models in wind tunnels. The T600 was replaced by the Kenworth T660 in 2008, which featured smoother styling.
