Vocational Trucks See Continued Growth: Kenworth

摘要

The economy keeps rolling along and with it, healthy activity in construction. That translates to continued growth in orders for vocational trucks, said Kenworth Truck Co. executives at their headquarters in Kirkland, Wash., recently. "Economic fundamentals remain very positive," said Mike Dozier, KW's general manager. Those include gross domestic product, housing starts, consumer confidence, and total construction spending. It now appears that overall Class 8 truck sales this year for North America, previously projected to be 190,000 to 220,000, will finish closer to the high end of that range.
