Kenworth K270 Cabover Featured at The Work Truck Show, To Make First Trade Show Appearance Since Introduction

The new Kenworth K270 class 6 cabover will make its first trade show appearance since its introduction when it is featured at The Work Truck Show March 6-8 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The annual show is sponsored by the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA).

The Kenworth K270 cabover will be shown with a concept aerodynamic van body. "It's exciting to bring Kenworth quality to the cabover market and spotlight the new K270 cabover at The Work Truck Show," said Doug Powell, Kenworth medium duty marketing manager. "We also offer the new K370 class 7 cabover. Both vehicles provide customers with excellent maneuverability, ease of service, durability, exceptional visibility, and styling."

Kenworth K270 and K370 applications include pick-up and delivery, lease/rental, towing/recovery, landscaping, furniture, and food processing and distribution that require a highly maneuverable truck with 18- to 26-foot van body size, stake bed, or roll-on/roll-off bed. The 63.4-inch BBC (front bumper to back of the cab) on the K270 and K370 provides a 55-degree wheel cut.
