Mack Trucks is featuring the Mack Granite, a Mack MD7, and a Mack MD Electric in its booth this week during Work Truck Week 2024 at the Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, Indiana.
It was during Work Truck Week 2023 that Mack first introduced the MD Electric model to the industry. Now, a year later, orders are being taken and the Mack MD Electric is in full production at Roanoke Valley Operations, Salem, Virginia.
The Mack MD Electric can be configured as a Class 6 or Class 7 vehicle. It features a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous 26-hp. motor powered by nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) Oxide lithium- ion batteries, rated at a 240kWh and good for an estimated range of up to 230 miles. The MD Electric is the second electric vehicle introduced by Mack Trucks to the industry. The first was the Class 8 Mack LR Electric, which went into production in December 2021.
Mack said the breadth of the product lineup on display at Work Truck Week 2024 spotlights the company’s commitment to vocational applications and making sure customers have several options from which to choose. The trucks on display are configured for a variety of applications, with the Mack LR Electric also offering the benefits of reduced emissions, the company said.
Mack collaborated with Palfinger to have one of Juan Ibarra’s, from Discovery Channel’s hit series, “Gold Rush: Mine Rescue with Freddy and Juan,” Mack Granite models in its booth. Ibarra will be in the Mack booth from 3 to 5 p.m., Wednesday, March 6; 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Thursday, March 7; and 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Friday, March 8.
