Peterbilt 389 the prototype of Optimus Prime

"Transformers", released in 2007, really refreshed the audience's understanding of science fiction films and cars. The editor has always believed that this movie has reached the peak of science fiction films, and "Avatar" is a bit far behind it. I remember that after I walked out of the cinema, the editor felt that the cars on the street would suddenly deform for a whole month. Two car doors popped out, and then as the front of the car moved upwards, it retreated to the back of the shoulders on both sides and fixed it. A head was stretched out from the middle of the front cover of the car. The chin was retracted and fixed under the nose...07 This "Transformers" made all Chinese people know a big truck in the United States, this big truck is the Peterbilt truck. This is the prototype of Optimus Prime in the movie-Peterbilt 389. Let me show you the style of this heavy truck.


Peterbilt 389 is a household name in the United States. There is another model called Peterbilt 379, and the Peterbilt 379 led headlights are popular in the US market. A typical American muscle truck is the overlord on American highways and a classic of American long-head trucks. Since 1978, its dog-head nose shape has not changed much, but the design of the power system and the interior of the cab has been different from what it used to be. The interior of the cab is also more user-friendly, and even provides sleepers for long-distance drivers. In the movie "Transformers", the prototype of Optimus Prime is this Peterbilt 389. Peter Biert Trucks was established in the early twentieth century as an American automobile brand that mainly produces heavy trucks. Peterbilt is headquartered in Washington State and has a 10% share of the U.S. heavy truck market. Peterbilt and Kenworth are the two flagship brands of Pekka Group. The perfect combination of innovation and classics forms the most American-style long-head heavy truck representative. In 1939, Peterman began selling his truck to the public. At the same time, this also represents the true establishment of Peterbilt. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Peterman, a laminate flooring manufacturer in Tacoma and Washington, encountered a timber logistics problem: He could not transport timber back from the forest to the manufacturing plant in time. He seeks to improve: make the logs go down the river or use a steam engine and horse-drawn horses. But Peterman knew that if he could invent a new truck technology, the problem could be solved. Peterman began to assemble old military trucks and improved technology. In each car, a battery starter was used instead of the crank, and Peterman soon bought the Fageol car in Oakland, California, to make the truck chassis. In 1939, Peterman began selling his truck to the public. At the same time, this also represents the true establishment of Peterbilt.

Peterbilt is headquartered in Washington State and has a 10% share of the U.S. heavy truck market. Peterbilt and Kenworth are the two flagship brands of Pekka Group. The perfect combination of innovation and classic has formed the most American-style representative of long-head heavy trucks. With strong technical support, driving a well-equipped truck is as easy as driving a car. Moreover, modern trucks have completely abandoned the old and complicated designs of the past, and the use of brand-new electronic transmissions and brand-new luxurious interiors have given these large retro-looking machines with brand-new connotations. The cab adopts many humanized designs, and the decoration is completely comparable to that of a car. The spacious cab, comfortable sleeper, high-profile audio television, satellite communication tracking service system, etc., have greatly reduced the driver's labor intensity and reduced the probability of man-made accidents. With improved ergonomic design, industry-leading suspension system, advanced electronic system and excellent quietness of the cab, Peterbilt 389 truck has created a new "advanced retro" model.
