Mack Trucks begins production of MD Electric trucks. First customers take delivery

Mack Trucks recently began production of its second battery-electric vehicle, namely the Mack MD Electric. In addition, the U.S.-based manufacturer delivered the new electric truck to ABF Freight, DC Logistics, Mission Linen and Pronto Freight Ways to begin operations and testing.

Mack Trucks’ second e-model complements its diesel-powered MD Series sibling, but with zero tailpipe emissions. Now, the e-truck is in full production at Roanoke Valley Operations (RVO), in Roanoke Valley, Virginia, where the diesel-powered MD Series is also assembled. Indeed, the new electric truck is available like its diesel counterpart in Class 6 and Class 7 ratings. The first Mack Truck electric model to reach series production was the Mack LR Electric, back in December 2021.

The truck manufacturer wants to prepare the plant for higher demand for the Mack MD Series and Mack MD Electric vehicles, the latter launched back in March 2023.

“We’re thrilled that the Mack MD Electric is in full production and that customers are beginning to take delivery of the trucks,” said Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America. “We built on the success of the diesel-powered Mack MD Series to bring an electric vehicle to the medium-duty market to help customers meet their sustainability goals with the same Mack promise of durability and reliability.”
