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.
