Mack mDRIVE HD Available and Standard
in the Mack Granite and Titan by Mack

As further evidence of Mack’s commitment to application excellence, Mack Trucks unveiled a heavy-duty version of its game-changing Mack^® mDRIVE^™ automated manual transmission. The mDRIVE HD is available as standard equipment on orders as of March in the rugged Mack Granite^® model, offering improved performance for demanding on- and off-road applications.

Mack made the announcement during World of Concrete 2015 that was held February 3-6, in Las Vegas.
The mDRIVE HD is designed and engineered to work exclusively with Mack MP7^® and Mack MP8^® engines. The 12-speed mDRIVE HD has an automated clutch, so no clutch pedal is required. Operation of the transmission is controlled through a dash-mounted shift pad by selecting drive, neutral or reverse. For more demanding jobsite maneuvers, the premium shift pad can be operated manually to hold a gear, downshift or upshift.

Adding to its increasing lineup of models featuring the highly fuel-efficient Mack^® mDRIVE^™ automated manual transmission, Mack Trucks announced during the National Heavy Equipment Show, held March 4-5 in Toronto, that the mDRIVE HD is now available and standard in the Titan by Mack model.

The mDRIVE HD offers improved performance for demanding on- and off-road applications. The mDRIVE HD in the Titan is compatible up to 2,060 lb ft of torque, 515 to 605 hp and integrates seamlessly with the powerful Mack MP10^® engine. Featuring specialized heavy-haul software for GCWs heavier than 63,500 kg, the mDRIVE HD in the Titan easily manages applications such as logging, lowboy and oversized hauling.
