DURABILITY

Built to Work Hard

The Model 579 is built to last. We made the new aluminum cab solid and durable, with the highest quality fit and finish. An in-mold process embeds color directly onto the dash for a long-lasting finish that virtually eliminates fading, scratching and peeling. Electrical wiring carriages support wiring and reduce wear and tear, adding to the overall durability of the components.

CLEAN AND FUEL EFFICIENT

Peterbilt now offers a compressed natural gas (CNG) configuration for the Model 579, providing short and long haul customers with the industry’s most innovative, advanced vehicles with new state-of-the-art CNG systems. The Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine complies with all EPA 2013 and CARB emission regulations and is available with ratings of 320-400 horsepower and 1,150-1,450 lb. foot of torque. This CNG platform joins Peterbilt’s family of alternative fuel vehicles, forming the industry’s most comprehensive environmentally responsible lineup.
