PACCAR Renews Bank Credit Facility

June 26, 2009, Bellevue, Washington PACCAR has successfully renewed its $2 billion syndicated one-year credit facility through June 2010.  An additional existing $1 billion credit facility matures in June 2012.  These bank credit facilities provide back-up liquidity for PACCARs commercial paper and medium-term notes.  PACCAR is pleased to renew its credit facility with over twenty of the leading banks and financial institutions worldwide, said Ron Armstrong, senior vice president.  PACCARs strong balance sheet continues to provide the company with a significant competitive advantage in meeting the capital requirements of our finance companies and manufacturing operations.
