  17. wat we heard at the factory last time when we were visiting mack was that they develept together whit volvo a new engine based on the d12 and d16 block of volvo but for every brand they have other specifications only the block was the same everything else was new and different for MACK,renault and volvo and even volvo dont make the block by there selfs it comes from a suplier. the hole plan is to reduce the developing costs. you take it or you die as a manufacterer.
