SmartWay Trucks
Peterbilt’s premium aerodynamic trucks, Models 387, 386 and 384, have been recognized as fuel efficient and environment friendly by the Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay program, which establishes a comprehensive set of fuel-saving, low-emission equipment specifications for new Class 8 long-haul tractors and trailers.
Peterbilt’s SmartWay compliant vehicles offer customers fuel savings of between 10 and 20 percent, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and significantly reduced NOx, particulate matter and other air pollutants. "The EPA’s SmartWay program is a valuable asset for fleets and customers seeking verification of the industry’s leading aerodynamic solutions.
Peterbilt Motors Company is setting the pace for state-of-the-art aerodynamic designs optimized to improve air flow and fuel efficiency," said Bill Jackson, Peterbilt General Manager and PACCAR Vice President. Components required for the SmartWay-eligible designation include engines certified to the new 2010 emissions standards, high roof fairings, fuel tank side fairings, aerodynamic bumpers and mirrors, anti-idling options and low-rolling resistance tires.
Model 386 Aero
The Model 386 blends conventional Peterbilt styling with advanced technology and fuel-efficient aerodynamic performance. A dramatically sloped hood, swept-back fenders, a contoured bumper and sunvisor as well as optional roof fairings and side trim tabs enhance aerodynamic efficiency. Peterbilt’s complete new lineup provides customers with competitive advantages through more fuel-efficient aerodynamic designs, reduced chassis weight, improved serviceability and reliability and greater overall performance.
Model 387 Aero
The premium Model 387 is designed for superior aerodynamic efficiency. The integrated cab and sleeper, rounded crown of the grille, dramatically sloped hood and fenders as well as a contoured sunvisor and roof fairing all contribute to the Model 387’s fuel-efficient performance. As customers increasingly focus on their daily operating expenses due to rising fuel costs, sales of aerodynamically-styled, fuel efficient trucks continue to climb and account for the majority of the Class 8 On-Highway market today. As a result, Peterbilt has made significant investment in the expansion of aerodynamic products to help customers in this growing market.
Model 384 Aero
The Model 384 is a day cab with an unbeatable
combination of advanced technology, fuel-efficient aerodynamic performance,
offering a true competitive advantage. This fleet-favorite has outstanding reliability, serviceability and
powerful overall performance.
