The first Peterbilt truck rolled off the assembly line as long ago as 1939. Since that time the name of Peterbilt has been synonymous with reliability and quality. The Peterbilt 353, a special version of the well known King of the Highway, is particularly suitable for long haul operation in the North of the American continent. The heavy duty chassis is designed to cope with extreme load conditions. Special equipment features range from air conditioning for the driver's comfort to a protective radiator cover and heavy mudguards in conjunction with mud flaps. A heat exchanger warms the batteries and tanks. More robust steel rims are available in place of the conventional aluminum rims. All Peterbilt cabs sport an aluminum skin as a reliable protection against corrosion. Apart from that each Peterbilt is custom built and equipped. The power unit of this Peterbilt is an NTC 425 Cummins diesel engine of 317 kW (425 PS).
