Peterbilt Motors Co. has debuted its new chassis routings for Models 579 and 567, which the company says will improve serviceability while offering a more robust, streamlined design. The new chassis routings, which run the length of the truck, organize air, electrical and fuel lines into individual bundles to facilitate quick, efficient identification and servicing of these systems. The routings are secured with newly designed frame brackets that hold each bundle separately and provide even greater durability, the company explained. This new configuration is currently in production.
“Peterbilt’s new routings are simple and optimized for greater robustness and ease of maintenance,” said Scott Newhouse, Peterbilt’s chief engineer. “We benchmarked leading designs to engineer the best, most modern chassis routings in the industry.”
