Peterbilt delivers two Model 579EVs to Truck King in Dallas

The Model 579EVs delivered to Truck King will be used for daily delivery routes in urban environments.

Peterbilt Motors Company and PACCAR Leasing Company have partnered to deliver two Model 579EV day cabs to Truck King, a Dallas-area trucking company, for use in its local line-haul operations. Truck King operates 65 trucks in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex hauling components used in manufacturing for local companies.

Truck King’s Model 579EVs will be used for daily delivery routes between PACCAR’s Dynacraft facility in McKinney and Peterbilt’s Denton manufacturing plant. The companies say this is an ideal route for electrification success due to its urban environment operation and optimum range requirements.
