eterbilt introduced the new Model 520 lineup, including the PACCAR MX-11 engine, at this year’s WasteExpo conference at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, May 8-11. The Model 520 is engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of the refuse industry and provide customers with cost effective, efficient operation. The versatile low cab forward model and powertrain options give customers the equipment they need to perform a wide array of services in the refuse industry. “Peterbilt has been a leader in the refuse industry for nearly 50 years by providing innovations and enhanced performance,” says Robert Woodall, Peterbilt Assistant General Manager of Sales and Marketing.
“Combined with the reliability and durability of the PACCAR MX-11 engine, the capabilities of the Peterbilt refuse lineup continue to exceed customer needs and expectations.” The Peterbilt exhibit displayed five Model 520’s outfitted with a variety of refuse bodies. Also, on display were three new cab configurations for the rugged Model 520. The innovative vocational model is now available in Left-Hand Drive, Right-Hand Drive and Right-Hand Stand-Up Drive in addition to the existing Dual Seated Drive configuration, the company announced. Peterbilt introduced the Model 520 in the Dual Seated Drive configuration
in-Cor Industries, a leading custom manufacturer of vocational severe-service vehicles, is guided by a clearly articulated vision: “To be a leader in the manufacturing of vocational trucks.” In real terms it has already achieved this objective, evidenced by numerous awards and an impressive ranking, both as one of Canada’s fastest growing companies, and as a top regional employer at its headquarters in Mattawa, Ontario. But Gin-Cor’s President, Luc Stang, knows better than to rest on well deserved laurels. The company vision, and the values it lives by, is organic, requiring continuous efforts to meet everyday challenges and to remain a preferred
employer and industry leader. Gin-Cor is already undergoing a robust expansion phase with the purchase of two complementary companies - Durabody in 2015 and JC Trailers in 2016 - ideal purchases says Luc Stang because “these acquisitions met our desired profile due to the nature and fit of our business. They are both custom fabricators dedicated to precision work that make up some of the strongest products in the market today.” These acquisitions followed a previous expansion of the Mattawa facility and the opening of sales and service facilities in Carleton Place near Ottawa and Kingston in order to extend market reach for the company’s line of severe service vehicles.
