Kenworth C580

The Next Generation of Extreme-Duty Heavy Haul Performance in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and Illinois

Since 1972, Kenworth’s C5 series has set the standard for rugged durability in the harshest conditions on the planet. The all-new C580 carries that legacy forward — going further, hauling more, and performing where no other truck dares to go.

“The Kenworth C580 marks a new era in extreme-duty performance, capable of hauling a gross combination weight of up to one million pounds.” — Kevin Haygood, Kenworth Assistant General Manager, Sales & Marketing

Production begins in January 2027.
