Mack
Trucks, Inc. introduced the most
powerful truck in the 108-year history of the
company - the Titan by Mack™. The Titan
by Mack is designed for heavy transport and Heavy
construction applications, and is
powered by the mighty new MACK® MP10 engine,
a 16-liter modern-day workhorse with a top rating
of 605 hp and a massive 2,060 lb-ft of torque.
Mack introduced the Titan model at the CONEXPO-CON/AGG®
2008 Exposition in Las Vegas.
In addition to having the most powerful engine
ever offered by the company, Titan by Mack is
also the boldest-looking Mack model ever. The
Titan model delivers the attitude and torque required
for hauling the heavy loads, while incorporating
advanced engineering for excellent visibility,
productivity and driver comfort. Customers may
pre-order Titan trucks with Mack dealers now,
with deliveries scheduled to begin late this year.
"The Titan model is an all-out Mack truck
for sale - strong and bold," said Tom Kelly,
Mack vice president of marketing. "One look
at this truck and you know it was engineered to
handle the meanest jobs - logging, oil fields,
heavy equipment or severe heavy haul."
"For Mack customers whose requirements demand
these extreme loads, the Titan by Mack is exactly
the truck they've been looking for," Kelly
continued. "This new offering extends our
tradition of application excellence, and follows
in the Mack heritage of classic big-block, long-hood,
high GVWR trucks like the RW Super-Liner." |
