Peterbilt Announces Availability of Bendix® FusionTM Stop & Auto-Go Advanced for Model 579

Peterbilt has announced the availability of Bendix® FusionTM Stop & Auto-Go Advanced on the Model 579.

The new system uses a new forward-facing camera and upgraded software to enhance collision mitigation for both moving and stationary vehicles. It includes two new features: Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB) and High Beam Assist.

This Fusion system includes previously available technologies such as Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Active Cruise with Braking (ACB), and Lane Departure Warning (LDW). The system also prioritizes alerts to help minimize driver distraction.

The Bendix® FusionTM Stop & Auto-Go Advanced is available with the PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines paired with the TX-12 transmission or with the Cummins X15 engine paired with the Eaton Endurant 12-speed transmission.

“The Model 579 is the most advanced Peterbilt on-highway tractor we’ve ever produced. Drivers prefer the 579 because of its driver comfort and safety features,” said Erik Johnson, assistant general manager, Sales and Marketing for Peterbilt. “With the addition of the FusionTM Stop & Auto-Go Advanced system, the 579 becomes an even more compelling value proposition for our customers, delivering exceptional levels of safety, efficiency and performance,” added Johnson.
