Truckers who buy new Peterbilt and Kenworth Class 8 trucks in 2027 will experience a new on-dash control panel called Paccar Connect.
Rolling out early next year, the new interface allows touchscreen access to HVAC and audio controls, Apple CarPlay and the truck’s exterior cameras, proprietary Paccar applications, as well as third-party integration with some Platform Science native applications.
