Mack Defense recieved a 135 Mack Defense M1917A3 heavy dump truck order by the U.S. Military.
The prototypes will be tested and evaluated to determine the final requirements for the next generation of trucks to ultimately begin modernization and replacement of the Army’s fleet.
Based on the commercially available Mack Granite model, the Mack Defense HDT is part of the previously announced firm-fixed price $296 million contract with the U.S. Army to be fulfilled over seven years.
The additional vehicles are part of the firm-fixed price $296 million contract to be fulfilled over seven years that the Army awarded Mack Defense in 2018.
A new partnership will provide a force protection system for the Mack Granite-based truck.
Built on the commercially available Mack Granite chassis but with a Mack Anthem cab, the line haul truck easily hauls 60-ton payloads.
The new HDTs will help increase the U.S. Army's operational effectiveness and readiness, while supporting mobility, counter-mobility, survivability, and sustainment operations for the Joint Force.
Mack Defense is now producing Heavy Dump Trucks (HDT) at the Mack Experience Center, following an investment of $6.5 million to create a dedicated production line at the facility.
The OEM’s first fully electric refuse vehicle is eligible for multiple incentive packages in the U.S. and Canada.
The M917A3 HDT was spec’ed with heavier-duty rear axles, all-wheel drive, increased suspension ride height, and other features to meet the U.S. Army needs.
