Peterbilt 378

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Model 378 was a Peterbilt vocational truck introduced in 1986 to replace the 348/349, alongside the Model 357, which succeeded the 353. Its arrival belongs to a period of large changes at Peterbilt, when assembly at the Newark, California plant ended after 26 years and production was consolidated in Denton, Texas. In 2002 the 378 was added, temporarily, to production at Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec to meet higher demand. The Models 365 and 367 of 2006 served as the successors to the 378 and the 357.
