Peterbilt announced the Model 220EV is now available for customer orders. Future owners can configure the Model 220EV through the SmartSpec® sales tool and order at a dealership. The brand expects customer deliveries to start by the end of 2020.
The Model 220EV is Peterbilt’s first electric configuration for medium-duty applications. It gives customers a zero emission Class 6 or 7 vehicle for clean, efficient operation and lower overall maintenance. An electric motor powers the Model 220EV. The 220EV features two battery packs and an on-board charger for a range of up to 200 miles. When using the vehicle’s DC fast-charging system, the state-of-the-art, high-energy density battery packs can recharge one to two hours. This results in a vehicle that is ideal for local pickup and delivery.
Designed with optimal weight distribution and performance, the 220EV also provides greater driver comfort and productivity through a quiet ride. The cab over engine (COE) configuration delivers superior maneuverability, enhanced visibility, a spacious interior, and ease of serviceability.
“Peterbilt is leading the charge when it comes to commercial vehicle electrification featuring a full line up of EV Models, with over 30 out collecting real world miles,” said Jason Skoog Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “With the addition of the Model 220EV to our SmartSpec® sales tool Peterbilt dealers can easily spec and quote exactly what customers have been asking for in a zero emission medium duty truck.”
