Kenworth K200

The Kenworth K200 is the Australian cabover heavy truck from which Kenworth's later K220 was developed, built at the Bayswater factory in Melbourne. An Australian Roadtrains feature on the evolution of the Kenworth cabover describes the K200 as the current model of its day, evolved from the older K100 family whose cabs were stored in the PACCAR parts warehouse for comparison, with a cabin offering industry leading creature comfort for long haul drivers and enhanced safety features. The set forward front axle suited B-double and performance based combinations, and the article notes that the Australian cabover Kenworth was then still the only locally designed and manufactured cab over engine truck. Truck and Bus News later said the K220 would replace it.
