Model 579EV

Peterbilt is leading the charge on electric with the Peterbilt 579 EV.

The Model 579EV is an all-electric Class 8 vehicle that offers an estimated daily range of 150 miles with regenerative braking to help extend the operating range.

With the new Model 579, the combination of aerodynamic innovation and powertrain optimization delivers performance and efficiency for the most cost-conscious companies with up to 5% improved fuel economy. Two new EPIQ aero packages as well as a Select Aero Package provide the right combination of fairings, skirts, and closeouts to exceed application-specific aerodynamic requirements.

Designed with the driver in mind, the new and improved cab is an environment that drivers want to be in. The largest sleeper to date and a 10% quieter cab, the interior is comfortable and ergonomic, with excellent visibility. With 8 feet of headroom, 70 cubic feet of storage and the largest mattress in the industry, the Model 579 sets the standard for driver amenities, comfort, and quality.

The Model 579EV uses an enhanced dash cluster to communicate clearly all the information required for the driver to operate the electric vehicle.
