Equipment February 15-28, 2021 • 21 Peterbilt unveils new, redesigned Model 579 featuring interior and exterior improvements in aerodynamics, technology and comfort THE TRUCKER NEWS SERVICES DENTON, Texas — Peterbilt Motors Co. on Feb. 3 announced the launch of its new Model 579. The thoroughly redesigned Model 579 boasts improvements in aerodynamics, efficiency, comfort, technology and uptime. The new Model 579 is the most technologically advanced truck Peterbilt has ever built. The new 579 is also the most aerodynamic and fuel-efficient Peterbilt available, thanks to the new exterior design featuring a new sloped hood and optimized aero components, as well as the new 2021 PACCAR MX-13 and MX-11 engines and PACCAR transmission. Highlighting the new 579’s innovative technologies is a state-of-the-art 15-inch digital dash display, which features a fully customizable user interface (UI). Operators control the digital UI through one of three different Drive View Zones, allowing for a variety of combinations of digital gauges on the main screen at any one time. The driver can customize the display through controls found on the all-new steering wheel. Prior to trip departure the digital display can run through a Visual Systems check, inspecting 13 systems and providing a green checkmark with each passed test. Post-trip, a detailed Trip Information screen provides a breakdown of important metrics of the most recent journey. The Peterbilt Digital Display fully integrates with electrical and safety systems found on the new 579, including the Bendix Fusion Advanced Driver Assistance System with integrated camera and radar technology-enabled advanced features, including collision mitigation, overspeed alerts and lane keep assist to be displayed prominently in the center of the display. “The clear and precise information relayed to drivers through the Peterbilt Digital Display, combined with the advanced safety systems Photos courtesy of Peterbilt Motors Co.

Developed over a five-year span, Peterbilt set out to provide a great look and aerodynamic shape of the new 579. Over 1,000 hours of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and over 7.8 million CPU processing hours were spent evaluating the exterior design of the new 579. This research resulted in an enhanced aerodynamic profile and a 7% improvement in fuel economy.

THE TRUCKER NEWS SERVICES STU<strong>TT</strong>GART, Germany — Daimler on Feb. 3 announced plans to split its passenger car and commercial truck/bus segments into two independent “pure-play” companies. An announcement from Daimler calls the split a “fundamental change” in the company’s structure, adding that the division will “unlock the full potential of its businesses in a zero-emissions, software-driven future.” A significant majority stake in Daimler Truck will be distributed to Daimler shareholders. The truck business will operate under fully independent management and have stand-alone corporate governance, including an independent chairman of the supervisory board, and is targeted to qualify as a DAX company. The passenger-car segment will be renamed as Mercedes-Benz “at the appropriate time,” the announcement notes. “This is a historic moment for Daimler. It represents the start of a profound reshaping of the company. Mercedes-Benz Cars & Vans and Daimler Trucks & Buses are different businesses with specific customer groups, technology paths and capital needs,” said Ola Källenius, chairman of the board of management of Daimler and Mercedes-Benz. “Daimler Truck supplies industry-leading transportation solutions and services to customers,” Källenius noted, adding that both the car and commercial truck industries are on the brink of “major” changes. “Given this context, we believe they will be able to operate most effectively as independent entities, equipped with strong net liquidity and free from the constraints of a conglomerate structure.” As part of a more focused corporate structure, both Daimler Truck and Mercedes-Benz will also be supported by dedicated captive financial and mobility service entities, driving sales with tailormade financing, leasing and mobility solutions. In this process, the company plans to assign resources and teams from today’s Daimler Mobility See Split on p22 m
