Peterbilt is announcing the delivery of its first Model 567 built at the PACCAR manufacturing facility in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada to Environmental 360 Solutions.
“Peterbilt’s flexible manufacturing strategy enables us to manufacture trucks locally in the markets in which they are sold,” said Tina Albert, assistant general manager, operations for Peterbilt. “In Canada, we are able to expand from manufacturing medium duty trucks to now include Model 567s and other heavy-duty vehicles, including electric vehicles in the future as demand increases. We’re proud to build Peterbilt trucks in Canada to meet the needs of our Canadian customers.
The expanded production capability demonstrates Peterbilt’s ongoing efforts to build Canada-made trucks for Canadian customers, according to a company press release.
