Peterbilt Model 220 in Full Production
Peterbilt has announced that its first new medium-duty cabover Model 220 –with multiple enhancements to performance, durability and the operating environment – rolled off the assembly line at the company’s COE manufacturing facility in Mexicali, Mexico.
Introduced earlier this year during the Mid-America Trucking Show, the Class 6 and 7 truck, is now in full production.
“Drivers will enjoy enhanced maneuverability that shortens the curb-to-curb turning radius by 30 percent and the new, standard electronic braking system (EBS) for improved braking performance,” said Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Director of Sales and Marketing.
“These characteristics combine with an efficient bumper-to-bumper length of 35 feet for added agility while still delivering an extra 45 inches of payload area and a frame rail system that can be upfitted with bodies ranging from 16 to 28 feet,” he added.
The company emphasized the vehicle’s versatility, citing it as ideal for “every application, from urban pick-up-and delivery to refuse, and from landscaping to street sweeping and striping.”
