New Kenworth W990 To Star in Road Tours
The new Kenworth W990 will star in two Kenworth W990 Road Tours slated to visit 20 Kenworth dealerships in the United States and Canada during October and November.
“Kenworth’s long-hood conventional is the enduring symbol of North American trucking for professional drivers, owner-operators and fleets. The new Kenworth W990 builds upon that strong legacy by delivering the significant, next-step evolution wrapped in traditional styling, craftsmanship, luxury and power,” said Kevin Baney, Kenworth assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “During the two Kenworth Road Tours, we’re bringing four Kenworth W990s out on the road for the world of trucking to see and experience.”
