The heavy-duty AC, with its well-known tapered hood, was the truck which started the bulldog theme. A 377 cu in (6.2 L) 4 cylinder gasoline engine 4X2 with concatenation drive, it was stiff, reliable, and worked well in rough terrain. Introduced in 1916, at that place was a corking demand because of World War I, over 6000 3+ 1⁄2 -, 5+ 1⁄two -, and 7+ 1⁄two -ton trucks were built for the UK and United states military machine. At that place were also commercial sales from 1916; the Air conditioning was well suited for logging and construction work. A larger version, the AP, built betwixt 1926 and 1938, was an off-road haul truck used on Boulder Dam and other large projects. 40,299 ACs had been built when production ended in 1939.[vii] [31] [32] [33]

Northward Serial [edit]

The N Series was Mack'south first military design, big half-dozen and seven 1/2 ton 6X6 arms prime movers. Between its development in the late 1930s and the get-go of production in 1940 US military requirements inverse and the truck was not needed. All NMs and almost of the larger NOs were exported every bit foreign assist. Later World State of war Ii the NO was developed into the successful M 123 semi-tractor. [34]

B serial [edit]

The Mack B series models were Mack's master vehicle from its introduction in 1953 until it was replaced past the R Series in 1966. They ranged in size from the medium duty B20P gas powered 4X2 to the oversized B873SX turbo-diesel fuel 6X6. B Models were commonly used as semi tractors and in the construction industry. They were also used equally fire engines and trucks, sometimes with the roof of the cab removed. 127,786 B Models were built.[7] [35]

R/RB/RD/RL/RM/RW, U, DM/DMM series [edit]

Mack started to produce the Mack R series (R, RW, and U models) in 1966 for highway use, and the RD, DM, and all wheel drive RM and DMM models for construction use. The lightweight RL model followed in 1967, the RW Superliner with a large, rectangular hood and grill in 1977, and the setback front axle RB in the 1990s. All these models featured the aforementioned cab; the U, DM, and DMM had the cab beginning to the left.

In the 1990s, the R, RW, and U serial models were discontinued and the RB was introduced, by and large for severe-duty applications. The hood was modified slightly for the model RB. 2004 was the terminal twelvemonth for the RD, and 2006 for the RB and DM. The DM was the last model to employ this cab style, and was the last model of this family to be produced.[36] [37]

As a replacement for the construction models, Mack started to offer the Granite, Granite Bridge-Formula and Granite Axle-back.[seven]

Engines [edit]

Past 1916 Mack was producing iv- and six-cylinder gasoline engines, and through 2014 continued to offering their ain, in the course of three diesel I6s. Engines by other manufacturers were frequently optional, supplied over the years by Caterpillar, Cummins, Chrysler, Detroit Diesel, Hercules, Scania, and Waukesha.

Mack started making diesels in 1938, in 1957 the Cease and turbocharged ENDT 673 diesel were introduced. This 672 cu in (11.0 Fifty) I6 engine family unit was successful, and remained in production for over 30 years.

In the early on 1960s, Walter May, executive vice president of product and technology at Mack Trucks HQ in Allentown, PA., prioritized inquiry and development of a high-torque rise engine. Winton Pelizzoni, main engineer at the Mack Trucks powertrain facility in Hagerstown, MD., designed an innovative engine based on this concept and and so led evolution of the prototype that went into production. The engine was introduced as an inline vi in 1966, equally a V8 in 1970, and equally the intercooled inline six 300 series in 1973. This was an industry-changing event. The Maxidyne, with an operating range of 1200–2100 R.P.M, and later 1050–1700 R.P.M., allowed a heavy Grade 8 truck to be operated with a 5 speed (Maxitorque) manual. Previously, heavy trucks typically operated between 1800-2100R.P.M. and were equipped with ten or more gears.

In 2014 Mack offers 3 engine series, the 11 L MP 7, 13 L MP8, and xvi L MP10, with 325 hp (242 kW) to 605 hp (451 kW) and 1,200 lb⋅ft (1,627 N⋅m) to ii,060 lb⋅ft (2,793 Due north⋅m).[7] [38] [39] [40]

Other products [edit]

Mack too produced railroad cars and locomotives between 1905 and 1930.[41]

Trademark [edit]

The company's trademark is the bulldog, which can be found on the front of almost all Mack trucks. A gold-plated bulldog indicates the truck came with all Mack drivetrain including the motor, transmission and axles.

Mack trucks earned their nickname during World War I, when the British authorities purchased the Mack AC for supplying its forepart lines. Its pugnacious, blunt-nosed hood, tenacious functioning, and durability, reminded the soldiers of their country'due south mascot, the British Bulldog.[42]

The logo was first used in 1921 for the AB chain drive models and became the official corporate logo in 1922.[43]
