Mack Trucks recently announced its Work Truck Week 2024 booth lineup. The Mack Trucks booth (booth 3123) will feature three of the company's truck models including its electric option. The booth will also have a special guest appearance from Juan Ibarra.
According to the company:
Mack Trucks announced it will feature the Mack Granite, a Mack MD7, and a Mack MD Electric in its booth during the NTEA – Work Truck Association’s Work Truck Week 2024, March 5-8, at the Indiana Convention Center, Indianapolis, Ind.
Juan Ibarra, from Discovery Channel’s hit series, “Gold Rush: Mine Rescue with Freddy and Juan,” will also showcase two of his Mack Granite models during the show, one of which will be in Mack booth No. 3123.
Ibarra will be in the Mack booth on Wednesday, March 6 from 3 to 5 p.m., Thursday, March 7 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., and Friday, March 8 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
It was during Work Truck Week 2023 that Mack first introduced the MD Electric model to the industry. Now, a year later, orders are being taken and the Mack MD Electric is in full production at Roanoke Valley Operations, Salem, Va.
The Mack MD Electric can be configured to be a Class 6 or Class 7 vehicle. It features a three-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous 260 hp motor powered by Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) Oxide lithium-ion batteries, rated at 240 kWh and good for an estimated range of up to 230 mi. The MD Electric is the second electric vehicle introduced to the industry by Mack Trucks. The first was the Class 8 Mack LR Electric, which went into production in December 2021.
The breadth of the product lineup on display at Work Truck Week 2024 spotlights Mack’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.
Mack is collaborating with PALFINGER, which also will have one of Ibarra’s Mack Granite models at its booth, and CTech Manufacturing for two grand prizes worth more than $300.
