The new Anthem features a 113.5-inch bumper-to-back-of-cab length, making it ideal for navigating tight spaces and urban environments. The redesigned hood dramatically improves forward visibility, allowing drivers to see approximately 12% closer to the front bumper.
Fernando Couceiro, vice president of highway trucks at Mack Trucks, said that in addition to excelling in maneuverability, the Mack Anthem has the potential to save up to $5,000 annually in fuel costs per truck.
The Anthem is available in day cab, 44-inch sleeper, and 64-inch sleeper configurations, with a cab that's 9 inches wider than the previous model.
Advanced safety features include Mack Protect, Mack’s new standard collision mitigation system, front airbag, optional Side Integrated Curtain Airbag (ICA) system, and an optional digital mirror system
The truck also incorporates Mack Connect telematics platform and GuardDog Connect integration, which has demonstrated a 37% reduction in overall downtime and 20% reduction in unplanned stops through predictive maintenance capabilities.
