Peterbilt 520

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Peterbilt 520 is a Class 8 low-cab cab-over-engine truck for vocational and refuse work, introduced in 2016 as the replacement for the Model 320 after 29 years of production. It looks almost the same as its predecessor, with larger windshield wipers and optional LED headlamps, but its refuse-collection functions were upgraded so that drivers can drive sitting or standing from either side of the cab. Peterbilt also builds it for concrete pumping and paint striping, with diesel and natural gas engine choices, and an all-electric 520EV arrived in 2021. The 520 remains in production.
