The latest version of Bendix Commercial Vehicle System’s Bendix Fusion is now available on Peterbilt Motors Company Model 579 vehicles, including the new Pedestrian Autonomous Emergency Braking (PAEB) and High Beam Assist features.

“The Model 579 is the most advanced Peterbilt on-highway tractor we’ve ever produced,” said Erik Johnson, assistant general manager, Sales and Marketing for Peterbilt. “With the addition of the latest version of Bendix Fusion, the 579 becomes an even more compelling value proposition for our customers, delivering exceptional levels of safety, efficiency, and performance.”

With this, the latest Bendix Fusion can now integrate with PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines paired with the TX-12 transmission or Cummins X15 engine paired with the Eaton Endurant 12-speed transmission.

Besides the new PAEB and High Beam Assist features, which can potentially alert a driver visually and audibly and put on the brakes if there’s a pedestrian in the road, as well as deactivate high-beam headlights, Peterbilt Model 579s will also include the regular suite of Bendix Fusion features. These include automatic emergency braking, active cruise control with braking, and lane departure warning.
