The Peterbilt 579EV is an eco-friendly day cab meant for local hauls and drayage. It comes equipped with many of the same comforts the Peterbilt 579 features, but uses a battery-electric system instead of an engine to power the truck. With a driveable range of roughly 150 miles per charge, the Peterbilt 579EV delivers a safe and premium, zero-emission driving experience for your regional hauls.
About the Peterbilt 579EV
Semi-trucks with battery-electric power systems, like the Peterbilt 579EV, are helping truck drivers achieve new levels of sustainability during their daily hauls. The new Peterbilt’s battery technology delivers efficient performance, featuring regenerative braking technology that recharges the batteries and reduces brake pad wear, which lowers overall maintenance needs as a result. The 579EV stands out thanks to its distinctive electric vehicle hood panels and blue grille accents.
Despite being a day cab without a sleeper option, the Peterbilt 579EV is a great truck in its own right. It offers a premium, emission-free driving experience with a roomy and comfortable cabin, improved gauge clusters, and exceptional visibility. With two-speed gearing and e-axles, which produce a lot of low-end torque, the 579EV offers excellent startability and efficiency. Important parts including air compressors, on-board AC chargers, battery disconnect controls, cab heaters, and DC-DC converters that power the cab electronics are all located beneath the hood.
The Right Mattress for the Peterbilt 579EV
While the Peterbilt 579EV is a day cab and lacks a sleeper, the standard Peterbilt 579 and other Peterbilt truck models are typically available in sleeper cab options. These sleeper trucks, however, are generally equipped with lower quality stock mattresses, so you will find that many truck operators upgrade their truck mattress with something that provides higher quality support. SleepDog® mattresses are ideal for integrating into your home base or your sleeper truck. They are constructed to be a lightweight sleep solution, easy to get both in and out of confined sleep spaces, that are built with the highest quality foams to provide substantial support and minimize motion transfer.
