Mack Highlights Zero-Emissions Technology During GTSE

 


Mack Trucks had the spotlight on its Mack® MD Electric model, the second zero-emissions vehicle in Mack’s lineup, at the Green Transportation Summit & Expo (GTSE), held August 20-22, in Tacoma, Washington.

Now in its 13th year, GTSE is the Western region’s premier resource for fleets, community organizations, industry, policymakers and thought leaders interested in green transportation.

“GTSE has become increasingly important to the transportation industry because it educates attendees about zero-emission vehicles,” said Dawn Fenton, Volvo Group North America vice president of government relations and public affairs. “Mack Trucks has 2 zero-emission vehicles now with the Mack MD Electric and the Class 8 Mack LR Electric refuse vehicle. These vehicles are in line with our target to achieve net zero emissions by 2040. The Volvo Group and Mack Trucks continue in their efforts to improve sustainability to help positively affect climate change and reduce our societal and environmental impact.”

Developed specifically for medium-duty applications, the Mack MD Electric is built with the same focus on reliability, durability and productivity customers have come to expect from a Mack truck. Designed with the heavy-duty quality of its diesel-powered counterparts, the MD Electric is available in 4x2 configurations featuring a sharp wheel cut for enhanced maneuverability in tight urban settings.

Produced at the Mack Roanoke Valley Operations (RVO) facility in Salem, Virginia, the Mack MD Electric can be configured as a Class 6 or Class 7 vehicle.

The MD Electric features a 3-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous 260 hp motor powered by Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) Oxide lithium-ion batteries, rated at 240 kWh.

The MD Electric will meet the needs of trucking applications requiring dry van/refrigerated, stake/flatbed and dump vocations.
