The Mack LR Electric model also will be available for a ride-and-drive opportunity outside of the convention center from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, May 10, and Wednesday, May 11.
The Mack LR Electric refuse model is Mack’s first fully electric Class 8 zero tailpipe-emissions vehicle. Manufactured at Mack’s Lehigh Valley Operations in Macungie, Pennsylvania, where all heavy-duty Mack models for North America and export are assembled, the LR Electric offers customers a more sustainable option for refuse and recycling collection.
Mack introduced its next generation Mack LR Electric model in March with improved range and battery capacity. The next generation Mack LR Electric offers 42 percent more energy and a standard 376kWh total battery capacity for improved range between charges. Twin electric motors with 448 continuous horsepower and a 4,051 lb.-ft. of peak torque output from zero RPM power the vehicle.
A copper-colored Bulldog sits prominently on the cab signifying the all-electric drivetrain. Four NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) lithium-ion batteries, charged through a 150 kW, SAE J1772-compliant charging system, propels the vehicle and provides power for 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 TerraPro cabover model is a diesel option that can withstand the rigorous demands of a refuse application. The TerraPro is available with the Mack MP7 and MP®8 engine, as well as the Mack mDRIVE™ automated manual transmission. Now standard with Mack GuardDog® Connect, Mack’s integrated telematics solution, the TerraPro model can be configured for many applications, such as refuse, dump, mixer or concrete pump.
The Mack MD7 model, part of the Mack MD Series, which includes the Class 6 MD6, meets a wide variety of needs for medium-duty trucking applications, including refuse, dry van/refrigerated, stake/flatbed, dump and tank vocations. The MD7 featured in Mack booth No. 2026 at WasteExpo, has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 33,000 pounds. Both the MD6 and MD7 are exempt from the 12% Federal Excise Tax (FET).
The MD Series is available in 4x2 configurations and features a sharp wheel cut for increased maneuverability in urban environments. The MD Series can design has an industry-best bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) measurement of 103 inches
