"PACCAR (Nasdaq:PCAR) reported excellent revenues and net income for the
first quarter of 2012," said Mark Pigott, chairman and chief executive
officer. "PACCAR's results reflect the benefits of increased truck sales
in North America and growth in financial services assets and aftermarket
revenues worldwide. Our customers in North America are benefiting from
increased freight tonnage and higher fleet utilization rates which are
driving the replacement of their aging on-highway fleets. The vocational
truck market remains subdued due to the low levels of new housing starts
and general construction activity. European truck registrations improved
in 2011, but ongoing Eurozone economic challenges resulted in lower
industry truck orders in the first quarter of 2012. I am very proud of
our 23,200 employees who have delivered excellent results to our
shareholders and customers."

PACCAR earned $327.3 million ($.91 per diluted share) for the first
quarter of 2012 compared to $193.3 million ($.53 per diluted share) in
the first quarter last year. First quarter 2012 net sales and financial
services revenues increased 45 percent to $4.78 billion from $3.28
billion reported for the first quarter of 2011.
"PACCAR's strong balance sheet and positive cash flow have enabled the
company to increase capital investments to enhance manufacturing
operating efficiency and product development programs. We are pleased to
launch our newest vehicles, the Kenworth T680 and the Peterbilt Model
579. These aerodynamic trucks are the result of a four-year, $400
million program that designed and developed a family of 2.1 meter-wide
cabs, powered by the fuel-efficient PACCAR MX engine," added Pigott.
"These new product investments will build on PACCAR's record 28.1
percent share of the Class 8 North American truck market achieved in
2011 and contribute to the company's long-term growth."

Global Truck Markets
DAF is the market share leader in the European tractor market and is
also the overall market share leader in the United Kingdom, Netherlands
and Belgium. "Our customers recognize DAF's quality leadership, low
operating costs and excellent resale value," said Harrie Schippers, DAF
president. "It is estimated that industry sales in the above 16-tonne
truck market in Europe in 2012 will be in the range of 210,000-230,000
units, versus 241,000 last year, reflecting a market that is being
impacted by economic challenges in the Eurozone," said Schippers.
"European truck manufacturers have reduced build rates as well as
scheduled factory shutdown days to reflect the lower market."
"U.S. and Canadian industry retail sales in 2012 are expected to
increase from 197,000 last year to a range of 210,000-240,000 vehicles,
driven primarily by the ongoing replacement of the aging truck
population," said Dan Sobic, PACCAR executive vice president. "The
gradual recovery of the truck market reflects an economy that continues
to experience high unemployment rates and a low level of housing starts
and construction activity. Annual replacement demand for the U.S. and
Canadian truck market is estimated to be approximately 225,000 units,"
added Sobic.
Share Repurchase Update
During the first quarter of 2012, PACCAR repurchased approximately
400,000 of its common shares for $15.6 million. PACCAR had 356.7 million
outstanding common shares as of March 31, 2012. "Over the past nine
months, PACCAR has bought 9.56 million shares for a total investment of
$353.2 million," said Ron Armstrong, PACCAR president. "PACCAR's
excellent net profits and strong cash flow make the company's shares an
attractive investment." PACCAR has earned a profit for 73 consecutive
years and has paid a dividend every year since 1941.
South American Expansion
PACCAR held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new DAF assembly plant in
Ponta Grossa, Brasil, on January 9, 2012. The ceremony, led by Mark
Pigott, PACCAR chairman and chief executive officer, and the State of
Paraná Governor Beto Richa, was attended by state and local officials,
supplier partners, key transport companies and other business and
educational leaders. "Brasil is a major truck market with industry sales
above six tonnes of 165,000 units in 2011. The DAF product range offers
premium quality, low operating costs, excellent driveability and
maneuverability, and the industry-leading PACCAR MX engine," said Bob
Christensen, PACCAR executive vice president. "The production of DAF
trucks in Brasil in mid-2013 is an exciting development which is
expected to deliver additional sales in South America," added
Christensen.
For over 40 years, PACCAR's Kenworth vehicles have earned a significant
market share in many South American countries in the Andean region. "The
successful introduction of DAF vehicles into Chile, Ecuador and Peru in
2011 helped PACCAR achieve a record level of vehicle sales in the
region," said Sam Means, PACCAR vice president. "Truck deliveries of
2,700 units in the Andean region of South America more than doubled in
the first quarter of this year, compared to the first quarter of 2011."
Capital Investments, Product Development and Industry Recognition
PACCAR's excellent long-term profits, strong balance sheet, and intense
focus on quality, technology and productivity have enabled the company
to invest $4.7 billion in capital projects, innovative products and new
technologies during the past decade. Capacity expansion of over 40
percent in the last five years and annual productivity improvements have
enhanced the capability of the company's manufacturing and parts
facilities. Capital investments of $450-$550 million and R&D expenses of
$275-$300 million are targeted in 2012 for new products and enhancing
manufacturing operating efficiency. "Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF are
investing in new industry-leading products and services to enable our
customers to achieve excellent results in their businesses," said Ron
Armstrong, PACCAR president.
DAF Trucks showcased its new range of ATe vehicles at the RAI truck show
held in Amsterdam in mid-April. The models include solutions that have
been developed to further reduce fuel consumption and emissions, and
improve truck efficiency. "The Advanced Transport Efficiency models have
enhanced the DAF product range, providing improved fuel efficiency of
3-5 percent," said Ron Bonsen, DAF director of sales.
PACCAR will expand and improve its global network of 15 strategically
located parts distribution centers (PDCs) in 2012. PACCAR plans to
construct a new $40 million, 280,000-square-foot PDC in Eindhoven, the
Netherlands. The PDCs in Madrid, Spain and Lancaster, Pennsylvania will
increase their capacity with the addition of a combined 100,000 square
feet of warehouse.
The American Truck Dealers (ATD) named the Peterbilt Model 587, with the
PACCAR MX engine, in the heavy duty category and the Peterbilt Model 210
in the medium duty category as "2012 ATD Commercial Trucks of the Year"
during their annual Convention in February 2012. This is the first time
that a truck manufacturer has won both categories in the same year.
"Peterbilt is honored to have two vehicles selected as ATD's Commercial
Trucks of the Year," said Bill Kozek, Peterbilt Motors Company general
manager and PACCAR vice president. "Peterbilt designs and manufactures a
complete range of high-quality commercial vehicles that offer
industry-leading reliability, versatility and low operating cost."
Financial Services Companies Achieve Good Results
PACCAR Financial Services (PFS) has a portfolio of 147,000 trucks and
trailers, with total assets of $9.98 billion. PACCAR Leasing, a major
full-service truck leasing company in North America and Europe with a
fleet of over 32,000 vehicles, is included in this segment. PFS's first
quarter 2012 pretax income was $71.3 million compared to the $50.3
million earned in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 revenues
were $261.4 million compared to $241.0 million in 2011. "During the
first quarter of 2012, profit increased due to lower borrowing costs and
growth in portfolio balances," said Bob Bengston, PACCAR vice president.
"Dealers and customers appreciate PFS's commitment to providing
leading-edge technology solutions, excellent customer service
capabilities and dedicated support of the transportation industry in all
phases of the business cycle."
"PACCAR's excellent balance sheet, complemented by its A+/A1 credit
ratings, enables PFS to offer competitive retail financing to Kenworth,
Peterbilt and DAF dealers and customers in 23 countries on three
continents," said Todd Hubbard, PACCAR Financial Corp. president.
"Higher freight volumes and increasing freight rates have improved our
customers' profitability leading to lower past dues and credit losses.
Used truck prices have improved from prior year levels by 5-10 percent."
PACCAR is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture and
customer support of high-quality light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks
under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. PACCAR also designs
