Mack Introduces MP7 Super Econodyne Powertrain
Mack Trucks introduced the MP7 405 Super Econodyne powertrain, which the company says boosts fuel efficiency and will be available with 405 horsepower and 1,560 pound-feet of torque.
The MP7 is the latest powertrain from Mack to be available with the company’s Super Econodyne rating and can offer 4% fuel efficiency when paired with an automated manual transmission.
“The MP7 405SE delivers the legendary Mack power and performance our customers have come to expect from an integrated Mack Pedigree Powertrain, but with even greater fuel efficiency,” Ray Horton, Mack director of product testing, said in a statement.
“It allows our customers to maximize payloads, save on fuel and increase their return on investment — all without compromising power,” Horton said.
The Super Econodyne system works with Mack’s automated manual transmission, drive axles and custom software to increase fuel efficiency.
The powertrain is designed for regional and bulk haul applications up to 80,000 pounds on flat terrain and up to 70,000 pounds on rolling hills, according to Mack.
