KIRKLAND, WA – Kenworth has unveiled several new and coming product enhancements, particularly to its lineup of day cabs, but has also announced that it will officially end production of the venerable T660.

The company has sold 60,000 of that aerodynamic tractor since it was first introduced in 2007, essentially replacing the T600. A final 500 of the T660 cabs will be built this year until the final model rolls off the assembly line.

Ongoing investments at Kenworth have included a new climactic wind tunnel.

About 80% of the trucks that the company builds today are the T680 or its vocational sibling, the T880. The T680 itself accounts for about 60% of sales, with the T880 at just under 30%.

Between 680 and 880, just under 90% of their sales. Doesn't leave much room for 700s and W900s. Wonder which is next on the chopping block.
 
Freightliner is pretty much a two-truck show.

I see paccar doing the same.

579/389 and W9/680
