GREENSBORO, NC (July 16, 2025) – Mack Trucks today introduced Mack® Protect™, its new proprietary active safety and collision mitigation system, debuting with the all-new Mack Pioneer Class 8 highway truck. This comprehensive safety technology package represents a significant shift from the Bendix Fusion system previously used across Mack’s Class 8 product line to a proprietary collision mitigation system, delivering enhanced protection with features specifically engineered for Mack trucks.
“With Mack Protect, we're not just introducing new safety features – we’re fundamentally changing our approach to active safety technology,” said Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America. “By developing our own proprietary system, we’ve created a seamlessly integrated safety experience that’s optimized specifically for our vehicles and our customers’ needs.”
Available Packages
Mack Protect is available in three distinct packages, allowing customers to select the level of protection that best suits their operation:
“We’ve taken a thoughtful approach to packaging these safety technologies,” said Blake Routh, senior highway product manager at Mack Trucks. “Rather than overwhelming customers with complex option lists, we've created intuitive packages that make it easy to select the right level of protection for their specific applications.”
Advanced New Features
The Mack Protect system introduces several new safety technologies that have never before been offered, including:
“The driver awareness features we’ve developed respond directly to the challenges professional drivers face every day,” said Scott Sokach, senior safety product manager at Mack Trucks. “Our system is designed not just to respond to emergency situations, but to help prevent them from occurring in the first place by extending the driver's awareness of their surroundings.”
