Mack Trucks Introduces the All-New Mack® Granite® at CONEXPO-CON/AGG
Mack Trucks unveiled the reimagined and redesigned Mack® Granite® at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, ahead of CONEXPO-CON/AGG. The all-new Granite delivers an all-new cab, cutting-edge safety technologies, enhanced driver comfort and industry-first features designed to set a new standard in the vocational segment. The new Granite sets a new standard for safety in the vocational segment, introducing multiple industry-first technologies that bring advanced protection to demanding work environments. The available Mack Protect™ safety suite, the same system available on the all-new Mack Pioneer™ and all-new Mack Anthem®, includes front camera, front radar and 270° radar coverage with both passenger-side and driver-side radar systems, a first for the vocational segment. The Granite is also the first vocational truck to feature an Electronic Park Brake (ePark Brake) with rollaway protection in conjunction with auto release when shifting into gear. Additional safety features include standard front and available side-curtain airbags, standard LED headlamps and fog lamps with available cornering lights. Standard on every all-new Granite is E911 auto-call, which automatically contacts emergency services when in cellular service range, if an airbag deploys or the system detects a rollover or collision – another first for the vocational segment. An optional proprietary camera system provides up to 5 camera inputs, including backup camera and downward-facing passenger-side camera for enhanced visibility of certain blind spots, particularly useful for certain customers in urban operations. An optional Digital Mirror System is also available. The new Mack Granite will be available in day cab and 44’’ sleeper configurations in both axle-forward and axle-back positions, with multiple front and rear axle ratings to handle specific customer requirements. The truck is offered with graphite and bright trim packages, with features including LED headlights, 3-piece bumper options and available sun visor. An optional hatch provides fluid access for snowplow applications. The Granite features the new Mack MP®13 engine, delivering greater power, up to 540 hp and 1,950 lb ft of torque, while providing up to 3% improved fuel efficiency compared with the previous engine. The updated Mack mDRIVE™ automated manual transmission –, available in 12-, 13- and 14-speed configurations – provides 30% faster shifts for improved responsiveness and shift quality. The 13-speed features a low reduction creeper gear for improved startability on steep grades and with heavy loads. The 14-speed features a 32:1 ultra-low-speed reduction gear ideal for precision work like curb pouring and loose soil conditions. The Granite also offers a Cummins X10 engine, rated from 350-450 hp and 1,250-1,650 lb ft of torque, with an Allison automatic transmission. The new Granite will be available for order in the latter half of 2026. Production of the all-new Mack Granite will begin in January 2027, at Mack’s Lehigh Valley Operations facility in Macungie, Pennsylvania, where all Class 8 Mack vehicles for North America and export are assembled.
