EXPERIENCE THE MACK ADVANTAGE
®
The reputation earned by Mack Trucks, Inc. for building dependable, trusted
workhorses has been established by more than a century of manufacturing
milestones. The phrase Built Like A Mack Truck® signifies the strength,
durability and unbreakable spirit of every Mack truck.
As America’s first integrated truck and engine manufacturer, we’re the
only O.E.M. to practice balanced design principles, which assures all
components function perfectly with each other. And the heart of every Mack
truck is driven by our integrated powertrains — engines, transmissions,
axles and electronics that perform optimally because they’re specifically
designed and manufactured to work together.
The result of our balanced design principles — building the cab, chassis
and complete powertrain — is better performance, increased fuel efficiency
and lower maintenance costs. And those benefits mean lower operating
costs, better resale value and increased profits.
In short, there has never been a better time to drive a Mack, so climb

THE MP ENGINE SERIES
SIMPLY DELIVERS
™
The Mack Power (MP) Engine Series provides improved fuel efficiency, lower
emissions and dependable performance. Designed with fewer parts for improved
serviceability, these engines have a single overhead cam using ultra-high-pressure
fuel injection, one-piece steel pistons and cylinder head, and stronger bearings.
In short, every Mack engine is a true powerplant that’s built to last.
MAXIMIZES EVERY DROP OF FUEL
Our newest Mack trucks are the most fuel efficient we’ve ever rolled off the
line, all without sacrificing an ounce of the power and performance you’ve
come to expect from Mack.
ALL THE MUSCLE YOU NEED
Highlighted by the 605-horsepower MP10 engine — our most-powerful engine
ever — the MP engine family boasts a horsepower range from 325 to 605 HP.

ENGINES THAT RUN
CLEANER THAN EVER
We seamlessly incorporated Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) into the exhaust system of
all our trucks with a technically savvy solution to meet US’07 emissions by reducing
particulate matter emissions by more than 90 percent from US’04 standards. The
catalyzed design of our DPF system allows the use of passive exhaust heat to oxydize
the collected soot in all highway and most vocational applications. All Mack TerraPro™
models are equipped with the non-catalyzed thermal regeneration DPF unit which is
designed to work flawlessly with the stop-and-go activity of refuse trucks. This unique
solution automatically initiates thermal regeneration while you work, cleaning the soot
that collects in the DPF. The result saves time, money, and improves the efficiency of
your workforce.
SCR TECHNOLOGY: CLEARING THE AIR
Mack remains at the forefront of engine development, incorporating selective catalytic
reduction (SCR) technology into our MP engine platform for 2010. The Mack ClearTech™
SCR System creates clean-running engines that boast near-zero emissions without the
use of emission credits and even better fuel efficiency. Already used successfully in
hundreds of thousands of trucks around the world, SCR is a proven, reliable approach.

UNMATCHED DESIGN. SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE.
Mack offers the only transmission with a unique triple-countershaft design that disperses load between three shafts versus two shafts. This design allows for
improved driveline angles and U-joint life, and because there are three countershafts rather than only two, each countershaft carries 33 percent of the load rather
than 50 percent (17 percent less load per countershaft). This design reduces gear face friction, improving fuel economy. With only one gear immersed in oil rather
than two or even three as in competitive units, the result is more efficient operation, as the parasitic loss in churning oil is cut in half, generating less heat. In turn,
this passes more horsepower through the transmission rather than allowing it to be lost in friction and heat. Synchronized versions (9, 10 and 18-speed) provide
nine times the synchronizer area of the competition.

THE MACK BOGIE DELIVERS HEAVY-DUTY SUPPORT
Another component of the Mack balanced design powertrain is the Mack bogie. The standard
dual-reduction top mounted carrier feature of the Mack bogie provides reduction through two
sets of gears, not just one, significantly reducing the stresses in the carrier. Because the carrier
is top mounted, it provides a “straight through” driveline. This reduces driveline angularity,

trucks — the perfect complement to our popular front axles. All of these UniMax axles feature
our innovative design which greatly reduces maintenance time and costs. New unitized wheel
hubs — requiring almost no maintenance — are permanently sealed with specially formulated
grease to provide effective lubrication. You can now consider axle maintenance time cut by 90%.
And the heavier the load, the tighter the fit thanks to the Mack exclusive tapered king pin with
roller bearing design inside of the axle.
DRIVE AXLES BUILT TO LAST
You want drive axles that last, require little maintenance and minimize unexpected downtime.
The S40 Series fills all those needs. It’s housing is made from fabricated steel to effortlessly
handle heavy loads up to 44,000 lbs. — an ideal choice for highway applications. The S40 axle
housings have tighter tolerances and few joints for greater reliability and longer life. The bowl
cover is seamlessly integrated into the housing rather than a separate welded-on piece for more
durability and less leak paths. Also, dirt and debris can’t get inside to damage components.
Mack spiral bevel gears provide “rolling friction” rather than the sliding friction normally
associated with “hypoid” gears. The efficiencies involved with rolling an object rather than
sliding it are obvious, and in all cases, results in a reduction in frictional power loss. The Mack
bogie incorporates a full-time power divider, which biases torque to the axle that has the greater
amount of tire traction. An optional power divider lock-out is available for off-road and on-road
