Mack Makes mDrive HD 13-Speed Automated Transmission With Creeper Gear Standard for All Mack Granite Models

摘要

Mack Trucks says its mDrive HD 13-speed automated manual transmission with a low-ratio creeper gear will be standard on Mack Granite models starting with production of the 2017 MP8 engine. The 13-speed helps boost customer productivity thanks to improved performance and reduced weight, said Dennis Slagle, Mack's president. Since Mack announced the availability of the product in March, customer response has been overwhelmingly positive, encouraging Mack to make the 13-speed AMT standard on the Granite vocational model, he said. The transmission is also available on Mack Pinnacle and Titan by Mack models.
