PACCAR Technical Centers’ world-class testing facilities and advanced simulation technologies accelerate product development and ensure that PACCAR continues to deliver the highest-quality products in the industry. 

PACCAR’s Technical Centers in Europe and North America are equipped with technologically advanced product test and validation capabilities and staffed with technical experts in powertrain and vehicle development. 

Digitally controlled, proprietary hydraulic road simulators accelerate rigorous component design by replicating millions of road miles in weeks, instead of years. Sophisticated computer simulations and advanced analysis of engine and vehicle control systems operate on powerful supercomputers to optimize vehicle efficiency and meet strict emission regulations. 

PACCAR Technical Centers partner with government agencies and academic institutions to evaluate future vehicle technologies and regulatory guidelines. PACCAR, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, is engaged to design advanced aerodynamic platforms under the SuperTruck program. PACCAR is investigating innovative truck configurations that will further improve the industry-leading fuel efficiency of Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF trucks.
