Mack Trucks and Mack Financial Services launched an all-inclusive vehicle-as-a-service program to help simplify the purchase process and help customers better manage expenses associated with acquiring the Mack LR Electric, a battery-electric vehicle.
Vehicle-as-a-service (VaaS) includes the vehicle chassis, the refuse body, applicable taxes and a comprehensive vehicle protection plan — the Mack Ultra Service Agreement — for the Mack LR Electric refuse model, Mack’s first fully electric Class 8 vehicle.
“The Mack vehicle-as-a-service program is designed to address any customer hesitations in adopting electromobility by offering zero upfront costs,” George Fotopoulos, vice president of the e-mobility business unit for Mack, said in a release. “Mack took this approach because we believe in BEV technology, we stand behind our electric products, and we want to accelerate industry adoption of this technology.”
Qualified customers also have the option to bundle a charger and associated installation costs into a single invoice, an all-inclusive offer. VaaS is offered as a five-year lease with single monthly payments and the option to renew, according to Greensboro, N.C.-based Mack, a unit of Volvo Group. — Transport Topics
