Mack's Titan Boasts Big Power And Extra-Strong Chassis

摘要

Big power, extra-strong chassis components, bold styling and a posh interior are among features of Mack Trucks' Titan, a severe-service model designed for heavy transport and construction applications. Due out late this fall, the Titan will be powered by a new 16.1-liter MP10 diesel with up to 605 horsepower and 2,060 pounds-feet.rnTitan is based on the Granite vocational series, and gets Mack back into the heavy-transport market it left when it dropped the CL long conventional more than a year ago and the RW Super-Liner before that. Titan is "our flagship, the top of the top," said Steve Ginter, the builder's vocational segment product manager who headed the team that designed the new model. He and other Mack executives announced it at the Conexpo-Con/Agg show in Las Vegas in mid-March.rnThe Super-Liner was available with a 998-cubic-inch V-8 -which made as much as 500 horsepower - while the modern 984-cubic-inch MP 10 will produce 105 more horsepower and its exhaust will be 99.9 percent cleaner, Ginter said. The new engine is an adaptation of the D16 offered by Volvo Trucks, Mack's sister company.
