Peterbilt adds Bendix Fusion Stop & Auto-Go Advanced to Model 579
Peterbilt has introduced Bendix Fusion Stop & Auto-Go Advanced as an available safety system on its 579 model, enhancing collision mitigation with upgraded software and a new forward-facing camera.
The system includes Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB) and High Beam Assist, along with existing features such as automatic emergency braking, active cruise with braking, and lane departure warning. Designed to help reduce driver distraction, the system prioritizes alerts for critical events, according to a news release.
It is available with the PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines paired with the TX-12 transmission, or with the Cummins X15 engine paired with the Eaton Endurant 12-speed transmission.
“The Model 579 is the most advanced Peterbilt on-highway tractor we’ve ever produced. Drivers prefer the 579 because of its driver comfort and safety features,” said Erik Johnson, assistant general manager of sales and marketing at Peterbilt, in a release. “With the addition of the Fusion Stop & Auto-Go Advanced system, the 579 becomes an even more compelling value proposition for our customers, delivering exceptional levels of safety, efficiency, and performance.”
The Model 579 with Bendix Fusion Stop & Auto-Go Advanced is now available for order.
