What aerodynamic semi truck first launched in 1984, was also given the name mammals commonly known for eating ants and termites?
Kenworth T600 The Kenworth T600 (also known as the "Anteater") was an aerodynamic semi truck first launched in 1984. Paccar begun design work in 1980, predicting that the shrinking margins in trucking would require more aerodynamic designs. The T600A arrived just at the right time, propelling Paccar into the runner up spot in heavy truck sales while coming in only sixth or seventh place in terms of absolute capacity. By 1986 it represented 40 per cent of Kenworth's tractor sales, despite being considerably pricier than the conventional W900.
Termite Termites are eusocial insects that are classified at the taxonomic rank of infraorder Isoptera, or as epifamily Termitoidae within the cockroach order Blattodea. Termites were once classified in a separate order from cockroaches, but recent phylogenetic studies indicate that they evolved from close ancestors of cockroaches during the Jurassic or Triassic. However, the first termites possibly emerged during the Permian or even the Carboniferous. About 3,106 species are currently described, with a few hundred more left to be described. Although these insects are often called "white ants", they are not ants.
