Pittsburg State University just got a MASSIVE gift: an electric semi truck

Pittsburg State’s Crossland College of Technology just received an 82‑ton Peterbilt 579EV electric semi from local dealer The Larson Group, giving students hands‑on access to cutting‑edge, low‑emission trucking tech. The donation tackles the growing U.S. shortage of heavy‑duty technicians while showcasing the rapid rollout of high‑power electric trucks for short‑haul work.
