On March 11, MASKA had the honour of delivering the first Kenworth T680 built in Quebec to Transport Bourret. The handover, held at the PACCAR plant in Sainte-Thérèse, marks an important moment for the transportation industry and for the future of heavy truck manufacturing right here in Quebec.
Far more than a simple vehicle delivery, this event highlights a reality we can all be proud of: today, businesses can rely on Kenworth trucks built in Quebec to meet the highest standards of performance, reliability and comfort.
At MASKA, we are proud to have been part of this milestone. Beyond the truck itself, this delivery also represents innovation, local expertise and the strength of an industry that continues to evolve in order to better serve carriers here at home.
The Kenworth T680: a heavy-duty truck built for performance
Over the years, the Kenworth T680 has established itself as a benchmark in the heavy-duty truck segment. Recognized for its efficiency, driver comfort and modern design, it meets the needs of transportation companies looking for a vehicle that is high-performing, reliable and built for today’s realities.
Seeing this model now come out of the PACCAR plant in Sainte-Thérèse, the only PACCAR facility in Canada, gives this announcement even greater significance. For businesses across Quebec and Canada, it represents a concrete step forward in the supply of Quebec-built Class 8 trucks.
A growing lineup of Kenworth trucks built in Quebec
This delivery is part of a broader movement. The PACCAR plant was already manufacturing the medium-duty T180, T280, T380 and T480 models. Since 2025, it has also been producing day cab Class 8 vehicles, including the T880, T680 and W990, for the Quebec and Canadian markets.
All of these models have received certification from Produits du Québec. They can therefore proudly display the Built in Quebec logo, an important marker for businesses looking to invest in vehicles designed and assembled here.
This development confirms not only Quebec’s strategic role in the trucking industry, but also the sector’s ability to reinvent itself, innovate and respond to the real needs of the field.
