Possibly the worst kept secret in Australian road transport will be officially revealed on Saturday when Kenworth shows off its 2011 models.

In a press preview in Alice Springs today, Kenworth boss Joe Rizzo says the new trucks represent a multi-million dollar investment.

Big news are the new models, the T403, T409, T609 and the showstopper K200 to replace the current K108 cab over.

In addition, the current T359 T409SAR T659 T909 and C509 models will all be updated to meet ADR 80/03 rules, primarily via the fitment of diesel particulate filters. The new models include updated interiors with trim choices that include wheat and shiraz.

Other advances include the availability of the Kenworth EBSS system and also Active Cruise and Brakes (ACB).
