KW to discontinue W900?

That's a w980 not 990. And they said they are not replacing it. I personally don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if they did. I personally don't care for the looks of the L model. The A's and B's looked much better. The 980 would look much better with external breathers.

 

What about the other models? KW makes more B cab models than just the T800 and W900. C500, T170-470 and the T440.

 

900a remake, get rid of the sloped hood and make it aluminum like a truck should be, I'd like one of those.

 

I’m not familiar with those models, I never ask about them. Usually just talk about class 8 trucks, only ones I’m interested in, but I have been told repeatedly that the B cab will eventually be discontinued.

 

I doubt it how many w9s were sold for 2018, and I'm guessing pete sells a lot more. I can see them making the cab wider on them maybe, or making them a glider only type thing if emissions is why they need a wider cab.

 

It doesn’t deserve to wear the Seminole scheme!

 

There could be another reason.
It is possible that Paccar wants to go to 1 cabplatform worldwide.
Pete and KW cabs in the USA/Canada/Mexico,replace the KW in Australia and Daf in Europe.
KW in Australia will have new emissions in the next years and Daf has to build a new cab too to meet new new regs coming somewhere around '22.

 

C500 is a class 8 on roids.

 

Kenworth was one of the first plastic trucks. They have been since the 900 series was introduced in the late 50s.

 

Isn't replacing the same as discontinuing?
