Peterbilt offers new aerodynamic and fuel efficiency packages, interior designs
Peterbilt Motors Co. has introduced an Aerodynamic Package for its on-highway Models 386 and 384 that improves fuel economy up to an estimated 12%. The Aerodynamic Package was designed through analysis and testing to reduce vehicle drag by up to 24 %, resulting in an estimated $5,600 in savings annually (130,000 miles, $2.30/gal.) versus a comparable Peterbilt Model 386 or 384 without the Aerodynamic Package, the company said. Benefits were validated by the company with computational fluid dynamics studies, wind tunnel testing and on-track drag metering.
