Peterbilt commemorates 100,000 Model 567 deliveries

Peterbilt has delivered its 100,000th Model 567 vehicle to WM, Houston, at the company’s Denton, Texas, manufacturing facility.

Designed for heavy- and severe-duty configurations, Peterbilt says the Model 567 offers maximum durability, fuel efficiency and uptime for all applications, including refuse.

“Reaching the 100,000th Model 567 milestone is a major achievement, and we’re proud to recognize WM as the recipient of this special truck. … The 100,000th Model 567 delivery reflects manufacturing excellence and a legacy of class and outstanding performance Peterbilt is known for,” Jake Montero, Peterbilt general manager and Paccar vice president, says. “WM’s trust in Peterbilt highlights our ability to deliver tailored solutions that meet the unique business needs of our customers.”

WM, the largest provider of comprehensive environmental services in North America, is a long-standing fleet customer of Peterbilt.
