Groupe Bourret recently had the privilege of experiencing a landmark moment in the history of Québec’s transportation industry. Our team visited PACCAR to take delivery of the very first Kenworth T680 truck manufactured in Québec.
Beyond the addition of new equipment to our fleet, this event represents a significant milestone for the entire industry.
The local manufacturing of a truck of this scale highlights the expertise being developed right here at home. It also demonstrates our industry’s ability to innovate, evolve, and actively contribute to Québec’s economic vitality.
For Groupe Bourret, receiving the first T680 built in Québec is a great source of pride. For nearly a century, our organization has firmly believed in the strength of its territory and the importance of supporting businesses that help build a strong local economy.
Investing in equipment manufactured here is also a concrete way to support Québec expertise and contribute to the growth of a strong and sustainable industry.
The official handover of the truck was an opportunity to highlight the collaboration between several industry partners working together to advance road transportation.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Kenworth Truck Company, MASKA, and PACCAR Canada for their collaboration and commitment in bringing this project to life.
This historic moment perfectly reflects the values of Groupe Bourret. As a local company, we are proud to support initiatives that strengthen Québec’s economy and showcase local expertise.
Receiving the first Kenworth T680 manufactured in Québec reminds us that the future of our industry can—and should—also be built here at home.
