Peterbilt Model 520
Built with a rugged galvanized steel cab, the Peterbilt Model 520 is engineered for the toughest worksite and refuse applications. Its durability is matched by its versatility, with customizable configurations including right-hand drive, left-hand drive, right-hand stand-up and left-hand sit/right-hand stand-up cab arrangements. Outfitting the Model 520 for your vocational needs is made easier with an optimized VMUX electrical architecture and pre-configured frame layouts that simplify body integration.
The Peterbilt 520 cab prioritizes driver comfort and productivity with an angled dash and adjustable seating that keep controls within reach while maximizing visibility. The 7" digital display – available on the right or left side of the cab – integrates with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) like Bendix fusion and side object detection to enhance safety on the job. Under the hood of the Model 520, power comes from a choice of high-performance engines, including the fuel-efficient PACCAR MX-11 and PX-9 diesel engines, or the natural gas-powered Cummins ISX12N and L9N — each designed to deliver reliability and efficiency in demanding environments.
