The Peterbilt 579 is the company's aerodynamic wide-cab on-highway semitractor, introduced in 2012 as the replacement for the Model 587 and as a flagship alongside the traditional 389. It debuted an all-new cab design that Peterbilt no longer shared with Kenworth, with better outward visibility from the removal of vent windows, redesigned body skirting and an optimized under-body design, and improved serviceability. A 75th Anniversary Edition in two-tone paint marked 75 years of Peterbilt in 2014, and an all-electric 579EV began production in 2021. The 579 remains in production.
