New Refuse Vehicles From Mack

Aug 19, 2024 - one year ago

Mack Trucks has introduced new offerings for the waste industry - the Mack LR Electric, a Mack MD7 and a Mack TerraPro.

The next generation Class 8 Mack LR Electric refuse model offers a standard 376 kWh total battery capacity for 42 percent more energy and increased range between vehicle charges. Twin electric motors produce 448 continuous horsepower and 4,051 lb.-ft. of peak torque output from zero RPM.

Four NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) lithium-ion batteries, charged through a 150 kW, SAE J1772-compliant charging system, power the vehicle and 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 MD7, a Class 7 model with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 33,000 pounds, is exempt from the 12 percent Federal Excise Tax (FET), as is the Mack MD6, a Class 6 model that is also offered by Mack.
Available in 4x2 configurations, the Mack MD7 is ideal for refuse collection in tight or weight-restricted areas and other applications. The MD model also offers a clear back of cab and top of frame rail to make it easier for body builder adaptations.

The Mack TerraPro model is a versatile and powerful truck. The TerraPro model can handle the toughest of applications, whether it’s being utilized as a refuse vehicle or as a concrete pumper.
