As part of its ongoing sustainability initiatives, Universal Logistics Holdings, Inc. has added the 2025 Peterbilt 579EV to its fleet to reduce its carbon footprint for logistics operations throughout Southern California.
John Wroby, president of Universal Intermodal Services, Inc. stated, “The launch of the 2025 Peterbilt 579EV reinforces our dedication to promoting sustainable logistics solutions. This endeavor reflects our collective efforts to integrate eco-friendly technologies into our operational framework.”
The 579EV features a battery-electric system that provides efficient operation and lower overall maintenance. According to Peterbilt, the vehicle is ideal for regional haul and drayage applications because the frequent starts and stops engage the regenerative braking, which transfers energy back into the battery backs, reducing brake pad wear and extending operating range.
