Peterbilt Motors Company recently delivered a Peterbilt Model 579 equipped with the 250,000th PACCAR MX engine produced for North America to longtime customer TCW.
Built at the 450,000-square-foot PACCAR Engine Company facility in Columbus MS, the 250,000th PACCAR MX engine represents the hard work of engineers, designers and plant workers to create and manufacture industry-leading engines since the start of production in 2010. Fine-tuned throughout PACCAR’s more than 50 years of engine engineering and manufacturing experience, the MX engines are designed to achieve unparalleled performance, efficiency and durability.
“It is very fitting that we present this Model 579 equipped with the 250,000th PACCAR MX engine to TCW,” said Jason Skoog, Peterbilt general manager and PACCAR vice president. “TCW understood the value of the PACCAR MX engine early on as part of the customer field trial fleet in 2008 before the engine was released to the market in 2010. TCW also plays a critical logistics role for us by delivering parts to the engine factory just in time for engine production.”
