Mack unveils one Titan of a truck, MP10 engine
Mack unveils one Titan of a truck, MP10 engine


3/13/08

Quote:
Mack Trucks has debuted what it describes as the most powerful truck in the company's 108-year history -- the Titan by Mack, which is designed for heavy transport and heavy construction applications, and is powered by the new Mack MP10 engine, a 16-liter workhorse with a top rating of 605 hp and 2,060 lb-ft of torque.

In addition to having the most powerful engine ever offered by the company, Titan by Mack is described by the truck maker as the boldest-looking Mack model ever. The company -- which introduced the truck Wednesday, March 12 -- says the Titan model delivers the attitude and torque required for hauling the heavy loads, while incorporating advanced engineering for excellent visibility, productivity and driver comfort. Customers may pre-order Titan trucks with Mack dealers now, with deliveries scheduled to begin late this year.

"The Titan model is an all-out Mack -- strong and bold," says Tom Kelly, vice president of marketing for Lehigh Valley, Pa.-based Mack. "One look at this truck and you know it was engineered to handle the meanest jobs -- logging, oil fields, heavy equipment or severe heavy haul. For Mack customers whose requirements demand these extreme loads, the Titan by Mack is exactly the truck they've been looking for. This new offering extends our tradition of application excellence, and follows in the Mack heritage of classic big-block, long-hood, high-GVWR trucks like the RW Super-Liner.

Does this engine have anything to do with the D16 Volvo? If so, this engine will be a real head turner.

I wish I could get a better look at that thing. The picture doesn't do it justice.

First Mack I ever liked
I saw one at the MATS and looked at the engines on display they were identical to the Volvos no more two head Mack engines.I also saw that Paccar is comming out with it`s own engine too.Does anyone think Cummins and Cat will be going the way of the dinosaur?

I don't think that cummins will be going by the wayside. If you look closely at the three smallest engines that PACCAR offers you will see that they are just rebranded Cummins engines. They are ISB, ISC, and the ISL. I believe that they are offering two more engines. A 13 liter and a 16 liter. I may have seen the 13 liter and the 16 liter. I don't know I was in a rush and I didn't see any badging on them that told me exactly what they were. I am glad to see that more manufactures are not giving up and or coming up with engines to meet emission specs. It give the consumer more choices.

In past Titans, the top factory offering was with the Signature 600 Cummins with 2050 ft lbs of torque. The new engine ups this by 5 horsepower and 10 ft lbs.

I saw one of those in a heavy hauler Mack Titan at a Clear Lake, IA truckstop. Previous Titans had the V-8 mack E-9, and some of those,heavily modified, had as much as 2000 horsepower, if you believe what has been published about them. They set records with them in the land down under.

It looks like Volvo and Mack are serious about being in the truck market, and hopefully can come up with a winning combination to combat the EPA monster.
I saw a somewhat better picture of the new Titan, and it looks SHARP!
Of course I was always partial to Macks.
