"PACCAR, a 105-year-old, publicly held company with descendents of the founder still at the helm, is known for a conservative management style that has let it deliver 70 straight years of profit in the cyclical business of making semitrailer trucks. And yet, in the teeth of the worst recession in decades, PACCAR took a risk on a major IT project. The results can be seen inside its newest trucks, part of the company's effort to claw back from a nearly 50% plunge in sales during the downturn."
