“PACCAR’s truck production and PACCAR Parts’ aftermarket sales steadily increased as the quarter progressed. PACCAR’s quarterly profits are a direct result of its proven business model: premium trucks and transportation solutions, flexible manufacturing processes, a strong balance sheet, and rigorous cost control while maintaining R&D and capital investments that drive long-term growth,” added Feight.
