The 2008 Mack Performance Tour is touring the country to give customers a look at the new Mack models with a fuel efficient, powerful Mack MP family of engines.


"We want them to know Mack has the products, customer support and dealer network they need and expect from us," said Tom Kelly, Mack vice president, marketing. "Most importantly, Mack has a proven and very fuel efficient engine technology that works now and for the future. We have a great engine platform and we know our plan to meet the 2010 emissions standards works."

The new Rawhide Editions of both the Pinnacle highway and Granite vocational models bring a distinctive look and feel to the driver environment and sleeper, with a full array of gauges, extra soundproofing, brushed nickel dash, wood-grain and chrome steering wheel and classic button-tuck interior. The Pinnacle Rawhide Edition combines classic styling with all the technology benefits of the Pinnacle and Granite models, adding extra luxury and comfort.

All trucks feature the Mack MP7 and MP8 engines, which deliver higher power density with a smaller displacement for greater efficiency.

For long-haul highway customers looking to save even more on fuel, Mack offers Pinnacle tractors certified by the U.S. EPA SmartWay program. The Certified SmartWay designation means these tractors meet EPA's environmental and fuel efficiency standards for excellence. The SmartWay program requires trucks to have a detailed set of components shown to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

Each Mack is loaded to legal capacity to give customers a real feel for the power of the MP engines.
