james j neiweem Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 What happened to is volvo good or bad for Mack. I guess that topic got beat to death. I see that Volvo is going to try to get more involved with theconstruction segment. Not good. If they had half a brain they would bring back the ACar. I wonder if they sold the rights to Acar or just the refusesegment. If they sold the rights then why doesn't Autocar get into the construction market.

refusegetter Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I run a tri axle autocar/Volvo rolloff, it's such a rugged truck I love it. It's got both Volvo and autocar badges( 100th year for autocar) I seriously don't think I'd rather drive another rolloff. Bring back the autocar!

Bigdogtrucker Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I talked to a guy that worked for Autocar a few years ago,he said they were talking/thinking about a new conventional.I heard after the economy took a dump they put it on the back burner.Bring back the DC/DK's!!!

bulldogboy Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 As part of the deal for Volvo to buy Mack, Volvo had to divest itself of one of the LCFs, either the Autocar model or the Mack "MR". Volvo kept the Mack and sold the Autocar to Workhorse who kept the LCF in production. Haven't seen too many of them but the "MR" rules the segment. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28976-what-happened/#findComment-152871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
