The eM2 began as a 2018 prototype with a 230-mile range and entered full-scale production in 2023 as a variant of the M2 Plus.
The Sterling Acterra paired the L-Line cab with a Freightliner Business Class chassis for Class 5-8 medium-duty work.
For 2021 Kenworth added battery-electric versions of its cabover, the K270E and K370E, alongside the T680E.
In 2008 Kenworth replaced the medium-duty T300 with the Class 5-7 T170/T270/T370 family.
The T300 was Kenworth's first medium-duty conventional truck, a T600 adapted to the lower Class 7 weight rating.
When the 210 returned in 2011 it was built in Mexicali, Mexico, on the chassis of the 325 and 330, keeping only the DAF LF cab.
Kenworth sells the Peterbilt 220 low-cab COE as the K370, because the two PACCAR brands share the model.
Introduced in 1991, the FL-Series was the first all-new medium-duty conventional truck range in North America since 1980, built around a Mercedes-Benz LK cab.
