Peterbilt to debut new spec for Model 567

At next month’s World of Concrete show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Peterbilt Motors Company says it will unveil a new configuration for its Model 567 ideal for concrete contractors and other weight-conscious applications.

“Peterbilt’s Model 567 has been in production for just over a year and it’s already far surpassing our high expectations for it,” says Charles Cook, Peterbilt marketing manager for Vocational Products.

“It’s helping customers across a wide range of applications achieve new levels of productivity. We’re pleased to expand its versatility and utility ever further with a new configuration designed with mixer and other weight-sensitive applications in mind.”

Cook says the to-be-introduced vehicle will be equipped with a Paccar PX-9 engine, an Allison automatic transmission with FuelSense technology and a McNeilus mixer body.

Peterbilt says it also will have two other trucks on display in its exhibit in booth C5172 in the Central Hall:

• A Model 567 with a 115-in. BBC, set-back axle, Paccar MX-13 engine, Allison automatic transmission with FuelSense technology and a Beck mixer body.
• A low-cab forward Model 320 with a Cummins ISX12 engine, Fuller 10-speed transmission and a Schwing concrete pumper body.
