A US truck manufacturer with a rich tradition

Peterbilt was founded in Oakland in 1939 and quickly became one of the leading manufacturers of high-quality trucks in the United States. Since its founding, the company has been regarded as particularly innovative in commercial vehicle manufacturing.

Technical features include, among other things, cabs that tilt 90°, an aluminum riveted construction, and comfortable sleeper cabs for long-haul drivers. These innovations have made Peterbilt one of the most influential manufacturers in the American truck industry.

Film History on Wheels

The Peterbilt 281 “Confidential” became famous worldwide thanks to a television movie from the early 1970s. In this suspenseful road movie, the tanker truck became one of the most recognizable vehicles in film history.

Several identical vehicles were used for the filming. One of these trucks has been preserved to this day and can be viewed at a private truck museum in North Dakota.
