Regina, Saskatchewan – The first made-in-Canada Class 8 Peterbilt 579 day cab tractor rolled onto the market this November from the Sainte-Thérèse Peterbilt plant in Québec, marking a significant milestone for the country’s trucking and manufacturing sectors.

“As a Canadian-owned and -operated company, Brandt is excited about what this means for Canadian trucking and manufacturing. We’re proud to provide made-in-Canada solutions for our customers as part of our offerings. Our partnership with Peterbilt gives Canadian companies the opportunity to buy and support local when they’re adding to their fleets,” said Neil Marcotte, Chief Operating Officer—Brandt Peterbilt.

Because they’re manufactured in Canada, the Sainte-Thérèse-built 579s are free of tariffs, allowing Canadian businesses to protect their bottom line without compromising on quality. These day cabs are also built for Canadian operators with the needs of Canadian fleets in mind.
