Peterbilt 587 Sets News Standards
Ever wonder how one of the most successful, fuel-efficient trucks on the road could get any better?
Meet the Peterbilt Model 587: It’s SmartWay® certified by the EPA as fuel efficient, environmentally friendly, and sets
new standards in operational efficiency as well as driver comfort and safety for on-highway trucks.
The Model 587 is innovatively designed for longhaul fleets, driving teams or owner-operators who demand top quality, maximum aerodynamic performance, superior fuel efficiency and superior overall value.
Fuel Efficiency:
A new front-end design smoothly diverts air over and around the streamlined hood and molded bumper. Aerodynamic improvements have been validated through extensive wind tunnel and computational fluid dynamics testing, resulting in a 1.25% fuel efficiency gain.
Maneuverability:
The Model 587 features a newly designed steering geometry that provides an impressive curb-to-curb maneuverability improvement of 12%.
Visibility:
Innovative new forward lighting significantly improves visibility, including more consistent light distribution and better overall road coverage and down-road visibility. Standard halogen lights feature a 35% increase in brightness while optional high-intensity discharge lights provide a 220% increase.
Safety:
A new robust gas spring design allows for easier opening and closing of the battery/tool box and helps ensure items are stored safely and securely.
Comfort:
The Model 587 interior features an integrated cab and sleeper that matches luxury with efficiency and productivity. The cab interior provides plenty of legroom, swivel seats, dual arm rests and easy access to switches and power controls. It includes a full 30-inches of walk-through space between the seats, offering easy access to a sleeper that surrounds the driver with functional amenities and accessible storage space.
