Mack Showcases Extensive Capabilities of the Mack Anthem®

Mack Anthem was designed for maximum fuel efficiency, driver comfort and safety

Mack Trucks will spotlight two Mack Anthem^® models at the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Management Conference & Exhibition (MC&E), Oct.14 to 17, at the Austin Convention Center, Austin, Texas.

Featured in Mack Booth No. 3108, one of the Mack Anthem models is a 70-inch sleeper model and the other is a Mack Anthem compressed natural gas (CNG) 6×4 regional haul vehicle owned by UPS.

Ideal for long-haul applications, the Mack Anthem was designed for maximum fuel efficiency, driver comfort and safety. The diesel-powered Mack Anthem in the booth features Mack’s best-in-class efficiency package featuring the Mack MP8HE engine with the full aero package, Mack^® mDRIVE™ Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), factory-installed FlowBelow rear chassis fairing kit and the factory-installed IdleFree 5000 eAPU.

Both vehicles are supported by Mack^® GuardDog^® Connect, an integrated telematics uptime solutions service that proactively monitors the truck to help prevent unplanned downtime events. The diesel-powered Mack Anthem also features driver-activated Mack Over The Air (OTA). Mack OTA allows customers to implement software updates themselves whenever it’s most convenient for them.
