During its annual Dealer Meeting in San Diego, Peterbilt honored its 2015 Dealers of the Year. The two-day business meeting included presentations and breakout sessions, including focused overviews of the new Paccar MX-11 engine and SmartLINQ connected truck technology, the company said.
Martin’s Peterbilt – with five locations in Kentucky and West Virginia – was named the 2015 TRP Dealer of the Year by Peterbilt Motors Company and Paccar Parts for exceptional sales performance and customer service. Martin’s Peterbilt grew year-over-year sales of the all-makes, all-models TRP line of replacement parts by more than 20 percent for the third consecutive year, the company said.
The Peterbilt Store – which operates 14 Peterbilt dealerships in six states – was named the 2015 Paccar MX Engine Dealer of the Year by Peterbilt Motors Company. Peterbilt presented the award to The Peterbilt Store president and CEO John Arscott and dealer principals Greg and Jeff Arscott.
The Paccar MX-11 engine went into full production in January for Peterbilt’s flagship on-highway Model 579 and vocational Model 567. The new 10.8L engine has an output of up to 430 horsepower and 1,550 lb.-ft. of torque. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including regional haul, tanker, bulk haul, construction and refuse.
Hunter Peterbilt – which operates 17 dealerships in five states – was named the 2015 Peterbilt Medium Duty Dealer of the Year. Hunter Peterbilt, headquartered in Butler, PA, grew their year-over-year medium-duty sales and market share by more than 10%, the company announced.
Peterbilt presented the award to Hunter Peterbilt president and dealer principal Jeffrey Hunter and executive vice presidents Bill Hunter, David Hunter and Nancy Mycka.
