Peterbilt 537EV for sale in BC
Battery-electric Class 7 vocational truck
Overview
The Peterbilt Model 537EV is the battery-electric version of the Class 7 Model 537, built for the vocational market. The PACCAR ePowertrain is offered in several power options, high-voltage battery choices are sized to the work, and the electric power take-off runs body equipment without idling. Cab, hood and body-builder interfaces are shared with the diesel 537.
Built for British Columbia
For BC municipalities and utilities, the 537EV suits the work they already do in one place: city service and signals trucks, utility and telecom bucket bodies, parks and landscaping crews, and light dump work inside Metro Vancouver and Victoria where zero tailpipe emissions and quiet operation are increasingly written into contracts. Vehicles that idle for hours on a job site gain the most from the ePTO.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Model 537EV built for?
Vocational work, service, utility, municipal and light dump bodies, on Class 7 chassis ratings up to 33,000 lb GVWR, with a battery-electric PACCAR ePowertrain.
How much power does it make?
The PACCAR ePowertrain is offered in several ratings up to 605 hp peak, with peak torque up to 1,850 lb-ft. We match the rating to the body weight and the grades on your routes.
Can it operate equipment on site?
Yes. The ePTO powers body equipment electrically, so a crew can work a site without an idling engine. Quieter for the neighbourhood, with no tailpipe emissions at the work zone.
Does it take the same bodies as the diesel 537?
Yes. It shares the medium-duty cab and body-builder interfaces, so BC body shops can complete a 537EV using the same practices they already use on the diesel truck.
What support does Peterbilt Pacific provide?
Factory-trained EV technicians at our full-service BC branches, help planning depot charging, and support with CleanBC Go Electric incentive applications where the truck and fleet qualify.
