Mack Trucks Announces Product Lineup at WasteExpo

Mack announced it will feature the Mack^® LR Electric, a Mack MD7 and a Mack TerraPro^® in its booth

Mack Trucks is showcasing its breadth of offerings for the waste industry during WasteExpo 2024. Mack announced it will feature the Mack^® LR Electric, a Mack MD7 and a Mack TerraPro^® in its booth and will also have two Mack LR electric vehicles in a ride-and-drive in the parking lot of the Las Vegas Convention Center during the show, May 6-9.

The next generation Class 8 Mack LR Electric refuse model offers a standard 376 kWh total battery capacity for 42 percent more energy and increased range between vehicle charges. Twin electric motors produce 448 continuous horsepower and 4,051 lb.-ft. of peak torque output from zero RPM.

Four NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) lithium-ion batteries, charged through a 150 kW, SAE J1772-compliant charging system, power the vehicle and all onboard accessories through 12V, 24V and 600V circuits. The two-stage regenerative braking system helps recapture energy from the hundreds of stops the vehicle makes each day with an increasing load.

The Mack MD7, a Class 7 model with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 33,000 pounds, is exempt from the 12 percent Federal Excise Tax (FET), as is the Mack MD6, a Class 6 model that is also offered by Mack.

Available in 4×2 configurations, the Mack MD7 is ideal for refuse collection in tight or weight-restricted areas and other applications. The MD model also offers a clear back of cab and top of frame rail to make it easier for body builder adaptations. 

The Mack TerraPro model is a versatile and powerful truck. The TerraPro model can handle the toughest of applications, whether it’s being utilized as a refuse vehicle or as a concrete pumper.
