Peterbilt Motors Co. announced during the 2007 Mid-America Trucking Show that both Peterbilt heavy-duty truck manufacturing facilities and the PACCAR facility that assembles Peterbilt’s medium-duty vehicles are in full production with the company’s new product lineup of 2008 models.

Peterbilt introduced its new product lineup at the 2006 show and units were in limited production during the second half of last year. The new lineup represents the largest product development investment in the nearly 70-year history of the company and features vehicles specifically designed for the aerodynamic, traditional, vocational and medium duty markets, the company said.

The new trucks introduced by Peterbilt are the: aerodynamically styled Model 384 and Model 387 day cab, which join the Model 387 and Model 386 to complete the company’s aero truck lineup; traditionally styled Model 389 and Model 388; vocational Model 367, Model 365 and Model 340; and cabover Model 220 and conventional Model 330, which join the Model 335 to complete the medium-duty truck lineup.

All the new models are available for order and all are in production except the Model 384 and Model 387 day cab, which will be manufactured beginning in the second quarter.

The company also announced that its proprietary Peterbilt ComfortClass system will be available as a factory-installed option mid-year for select Peterbilt models.

The new battery-based system provides heating, cooling and 110-volt electrical power without the need for the engine to run for up to 10 hours. ComfortClass will be available for Class 8 vehicles equipped with a 70-inch Unibilt sleeper.

The ComfortClass system can reduce annual fuel consumption by about 8 percent and help customers comply with anti-idle regulations, the company said.
