Welcome to the Future of Medium-Duty Trucks

In a bold move to electrify our roads, Peterbilt has plunged into the medium-duty truck market with three new offerings that promise to deliver excitement alongside efficiency. Enter the 536EV, 537EV, and 548EV—triple threats to your traditional diesel guzzlers. With zero-emissions power and the ability to charge faster than you can say ‘green revolution,’ these trucks are about to change the delivery game.

Power-Packed and Eco-Friendly

Don’t let their eco-friendly packaging fool you; these trucks are hiding serious muscle. Powered by the all-new PACCAR ePowertrain, they boast a jaw-dropping 605 hp and a monstrous 1,850 lb-ft of torque available from zero RPM. Think of it as unleashing a lion from a cage—a lion that quietly roars without the smoky aftermath of diesel fumes. Plus, with flexible LFP battery pack options, you can choose configurations that cater to your daily delivery or utility work needs.

Flexibility Meets Productivity

Peterbilt’s latest electric trucks aren’t just about speed and power; they’re also masters of versatility. Thanks to their innovative architecture, integrating with existing PACCAR components isn’t just feasible; it’s encouraged! With 4×2 and 6×4 configurations possible and a plethora of wheelbase options, getting exactly what you need is a piece of cake—well, if that cake could carry up to 82,000 lbs of weight. As Erik Johnson, Peterbilt’s assistant general manager, put it: these trucks are optimized for the demands of the medium-duty segment, combining efficiency, rapid charging, and configurations to skyrocket customer productivity.
