U.S.-based Mack Trucks has announced a significant refresh of its Mack MD Series diesel and electric medium-duty trucks. The new trucks will feature a larger cab that improves the driver environment and incorporates new safety features.

The biggest change is that the MD’s cab is now four inches longer than the previous version, which gives drivers more seat recline and leg room. This refreshed cab further shows how the Mack Anthem cab influenced the MD cab design and many of the shared driver-comfort features, such as an overhead console for additional storage.

Mack Trucks MD: the new interior

The interior boasts premium satin aluminum trim, improved seating with lumbar support and enhanced LED lighting. New steering wheel controls for cruise control, telephone and audio functions have been added, increasing driver convenience and safety. All of these have been popular with Mack’s Class 8 customers. These key updates – now standard on the MD without raising its price – include enhanced driver comfort and safety features, while improving ease of installation for body builders.

“The launch of the refreshed Mack MD Series once again demonstrates Mack’s commitment to delivering the best medium-duty truck for our customers,” said Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America. “Since the MD Series was introduced in 2020, Mack has continued to listen to our customers and make ongoing improvements to meet their operational needs.
