dump and tank trucks, and be avail- able in 4×2 configurations.
The truck will be available in eight wheelbase lengths, supporting typ- ical bodies that run from 10 to 26 feet. A 103-inch bumper-to-back-of- cab measurement will help to load up the front axle and deliver a tight turning radius as well.
The Mack MD will come equipped with a Cummins B6.7 engine that can deliver 220-300 hp and 560-660 lb.-ft of torque, and Meritor front and rear axles. An Allison 2500HS six-speed automatic transmission will be stan- dard, although an Allison 2500RDS is available for those who need a PTO.
Base models will ride on a spring suspension, although a Mack
Maxlite air suspension is optional.
Wheels will come in a standard 22.5-
inch size, but 19.5-inch wheels are also available.
The cab itself will ride on an air suspension rather than rub- ber blocks, and includes several features found elsewhere in the Mack product family. The grille and hood match the styling of the Mack Anthem, introduced in late 2017, while the cab is a variation on the Mack Granite.
Inside, drivers will find the same flat-bottom steering wheel used in the other trucks. Other features include power windows and door locks, cruise control, an air-ride driver’s seat, and optional two passenger bench seat with storage underneath.
Telematics support will come in the form of a Geotab Go Rugged system, offering access to the Mack Uptime Center, as well as OneCall and ASIST support.
The MD6 can be operated without a commercial driver’s licence when moving non-hazardous payloads.
The new Roanoke Valley Operations location was chosen to leverage several advantages.
“From a logistics standpoint, the proximity to global headquar- ters in Greensboro, North Carolina was a significant piece,” said James Chenier, senior vice-president – strategy and business development. The facility itself also required few modifications.
The cabs will also be painted at Volvo Trucks North America’s nearby New River Valley plant.
“This is a completely new platform, completely new prod- uct, and does not take anything out of LVO [Lehigh Valley Operations],” Randall stressed.
