Peterbilt Motors Company and Kenworth Truck Company unveiled new design enhancements for the their medium duty cabovers in the Class 6 and Class 7 markets. Peterbilt's models saved their indexes 210 and 220. The new 2012 designs have paired a lightweight chassis and frame rail with a strategically positioned electrical system to optimize body installation and increase payload capacity.

In addition, the new designs are available with an Allison 2100 Series automatic transmission which helps provide a smooth, comfortable ride. Both vehicles are powered by the reliable, lightweight PACCAR PX-6 with horsepower ratings of 220, 240 or 250 and torque ratings of 520, 560 and 660 lbs-ft, respectively. Ideal for medium duty truck owners, the fuel-efficient PX-6 provides an in-line 6 cylinder 6.7-litre devise with four valves per cylinder, a high pressure common rail fuel system and features the best power-to-weight ratio available in its class. New models are differed from the last generation only by a slight change of front grille.
