Mack to Provide Heavy Duty Tractors and Trailers to U.S. Army
Mack Trucks has received an award of approximately $28.5 million from the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command for heavy-duty tractors and trailers
Mack Trucks has received an award of approximately $28.5 million from the U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command for heavy-duty tractors and trailers.
The company will, over the next three years, deliver 152 Mack Vision Elite model tractors (known domestically as the Mack Pinnacle Axle Back model) configured as 70-Inch high-rise sleepers, as well as the same number of 35-ton low boy trailers. Spare parts will also be provided.
In addition, Mack received an award of just over $1 million from the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC). The contract calls for the optimization of a commercially available "off-the-shelf" heavy-duty diesel engine to operate on JP-8, a fuel traditionally used in jets and commonly available to the military throughout the world. The Mack MP8 engine will be the centerpiece of this R&D effort.
