Introduced earlier this year, the new Peterbilt Model 579 is now being built at the OEM’s Denton, Texas, manufacturing facility. The first production vehicles are being produced for Peterbilt and PacLease dealers. Available in a day cab model, or with a detachable sleeper, the Model 579 features the PACCAR MX 12.9-liter engine.
“This is truly an historic occasion for our Peterbilt Denton production team,” said Bill Kozek, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “After years of research, product development, capital investment, customer input and vehicle testing, this final result is a combination of total performance innovation and the highest quality. This vehicle is truly one that delivers confidence and efficiency for bottom-line driven companies.”
