Hey everybody, CCJ editor Jason Cannon here and join me for a quick upclose peak at Peterbilt’s new Model 567EV.
Peterbilt is going after the work truck segment with its newest battery electric model, keeping a still-emerging zero emissions technology in the space where it's found the most success to date: short hauls that return to base without needing to find near-non-existent public charging.
Peterbilt's Model 567 is one of the first battery electric vocational trucks to come to market and serves applications like dump trucks, utility trucks and equipment haulers. Vocational applications, where range is limited by the nature of the business (generally 250 miles and less) and often include long periods of idle to drive accessories, are where electrification can shine brightest.
The body uses the batteries onboard the truck via the ePTO; either 25 kW or a 150 kW.
The electric 567 is available in wheelbase of 190 inches or longer and applications up to 82,000 lbs. gross combined. The flexibility in wheelbases is in part enabled by all all-new Paccar ePowertrain.
The new ePowertrain is the fruit of more than five years of development and testing and its flexible architecture allows for integration with existing suspensions.
A mid-mounted eMotor with dual electric motors and integrated 3-speed transmission delivers shifting with no torque interruption. Multiple power options are available up to 605 horsepower and 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque.
Up to five batteries can be spec'd on the truck, giving it up to 625 usable kWh (up to 250 miles).
The batteries utilize lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry that offer extended battery life and better long-term performance. LFP batteries, Johnson noted, retain 80% of their capacity after 10 years of use.
Other features of the new powertrain include redesigned electronic accessories and thermal managed batteries for performance in all weather conditions.
The truck is equipped with both AC and DC charging capabilities up to 350 kW – a significant boost from the 150 kW capability of the current generation powertrain, and it enables a 0% to 80% (state of charge) in as little as two hours.
Here’s Patrick to tell us a little more about the interior and exterior of Pete’s electric work truck.
Exterior upgrades. These are kind of like the 579 so unique grill. It also has these bars with the blue accents as well. And again, we come to the side of the hood and we have our side panels with blue accents and EV unique pattern right here. And so the big thing about the 567EV is we actually have another battery option, so we can do five batteries as well, going all the way up to 625 usable kilowatt hours. That's very high. And so you can get this in a max range tractor application or a vocational application and you can get all the battery options that you can with the 579 as well. We also paid special attention to body integration, so we have two PTO options. We have a 25 kilowatt for PTOs are a little bit smaller, but we also have 150 kilowatt for larger PTOs.
And what's neat about those PTOs is you can actually get dash mounted switches. You can see PTO energy usage in the digital driver display, so it's well integrated so our customers will be able to use it. The PTO you can see is right here. This is actually a new prototype that we're working on that will probably come out in the future, but it's just an example of a PTO that you can put on this truck. So it's all electric, you run high voltage, you run coolant to it, and then you can control that PTO through the digital network, the can network, and it will drive a hydraulic pump. And so this is a conventional dump body. This is a rogue dump body. It's about 15 and a half yards, and so this is optimized for a California market. Another thing I didn't mention before is you can get factory installed lift axles on both these vehicles.
