GearheadGrrrl Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 IIRC, Volvo just announced a natural gas 13 liter engine... Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/10/#findComment-173638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearheadGrrrl Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 http://macktrucks.com/default.aspx?pageid=9643 That don't look like a Cummins/Westport ISX engine... Somebody at Mack PR needs to be a bit more careful in matching the pix to the text. Maybe we should volunteer to take over Mack's PR... We couldn't do much worse!

kscarbel Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sorry to break the news to you but the axle in your RD was cast in Brazil. Westport Axle's Mack chassis assembly plant is using axles produced by Brazil's SIFCO. SIFCO, Volvo's assembled front axle supplier in South America since 1979, and Swedish production from 1995, replaced Dana for Mack brand axle production from May, 2004 (Westport and SIFCO are both owned by Grupo Brasil).But given he said that his front axle was stamped "Mexico", that sounds like the Sypris Solutions (under their Sypris Technologies brand) plant in Toluca, Mexico. Dana sold several plants to Sypris in 2004, and then outsourced axle component production to them. Dana, an example of what bad management can do to a legendary U.S. company.https://www.sypristechnologies.com/products#IBeamshttp://www.sifco.com.br/ingles/produtos/suspencao_dianteira.htmFrom 2008, Meritor began supplying front axles to Volvo from a new plant in Monterrey, Mexico for Mack-brand chassis.http://fleetowner.com/management/arvinmeritor_mexico_axle_plant_0827 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19327-interesting-new-trucks/page/10/#findComment-177280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackniac Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sorry to break the news to you but the axle in your RD was cast in Brazil. maybe I'm not sure a 100% but my RB688 is a 1989-1990 built up in Oakvile ON Canada,my comment was more oriented in the way that Mack is producing less and less from within inside de company .
