41180 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Very cool. What is the reason Mack stopped all these lines of trucks ? And don't give me the Volvo answer because these big heavies and other mack lines were gone long before Volvo.

Popular Post ap40rocktruck Posted March 22, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2013 Nice shots of the WHDX-1000. And so of us are nuts enough to scratch build one of the 4 units in 1/24 scale. Namely one of the smaller units with the DDC 16V-71 & Clark BD-91000 rear axles....... Originally I built the model in 1997 working from 7 photographs & had 2 known dimensions.Rick 7 Quote Richard MarkOwner / Master Model Maker Industrial Model DesignAp40rocktruck Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30466-when-mack-roamed-europe-the-middle-east-africa-and-western-asia/page/2/#findComment-173569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ap40rocktruck Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 The Mammoet is a hybrid, combining the rear half of an F-model with the front half of a DM. But Mammoet had standard cab DMs as well.This truck began life as a DM-611SX and was re-powered with a V-12 Detroit Diesel. This DM looks to be very similar to those that were built under licence by FTF or Floor of Holland. Their trademark was teh re-powering of everything with green leakers.Rick Quote Richard MarkOwner / Master Model Maker Industrial Model DesignAp40rocktruck Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30466-when-mack-roamed-europe-the-middle-east-africa-and-western-asia/page/2/#findComment-173592 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Mack had a major importer in Holland didn't they? Sorry for my delay, I had to dig out my Mack International distributor list for the period (in those days, Mack was everywhere). The Mack Int'l regional sales manager for Europe was Hagen B. McGuire. The distributor in Holland was: Mack Int'l dealer code: X93H NIBM B.V. P.O. Box 269 2800 AC Gouda The Neatherlands Phone: 31-1820-30033 President - H.Gehlen General Manager Commercial Vehicles - J. Wauben Established in 1939, NIBM remains in business today.

Industrie Bouwmachines B.V. to be exact). But interestingly, NIBM's website doesn't mention the first thing about Mack. (http://www.nibm.nl/)For all intents and purposes, Volvo Group only wants to sell Mack-branded trucks in Australia/New Zealand and select countries in South America. Volvo Group wants the Volvo brand to get the sales in all other global markets.Unlike the many global companies whose Venezuelan facilities were stolen (nationalized) by Chavez's government, the Swedes kept that regime's palms greased so that the Mack plant went undisturbed. What else would you expect from a company that sells trucks to Iran's Revolutionary Guard.Given the massive undeniable global footprint that the former Mack Trucks had, its sad that Volvo arrogantly snubs the Mack brand in the worldwide market.Would Volvo create a new Mack-branded COE for the global market, an Ultra-Liner II?? No way in heck. THAT is NOT part of the Volvo plan. The dog brand is on Volvo's leash and must heed the foreign master's orders. At least the Germans have some fun with their empire, actually investing heavily into the development of the impressive Freightliner Argosy II COE and selling it head-to-head with their own Mercedes-Benz Actros in global markets. Let the customer decide, that's the German spirit. We make money either way. And of course, the impressive new Kenworth K200 COE is very popular down under while the veteran Internatonal 9800i soldiers on with a tried and proven design from Brazil to South Africa to New Zealand. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30466-when-mack-roamed-europe-the-middle-east-africa-and-western-asia/page/2/#findComment-174624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog man Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Very Nice Pics & though I know it's the Gospel truth , the more I hear What V%$*O Is doing to my name sake the more Redneck I get about it .

I Hate the new master the bulldog has & just hope the bulldog winds up like so many other American companies the 5 LETTER CUSS WORD THAT STARTS WITH "V" & ENDS WITH "O" has done to them & slowly killed them off like GMC another truck I made quite a bit of money w/ next to Mack & Autocar. Or reduced them down to hardly nothing (like AutoCar now just a lonely low cab over garbage truck) or rebranded other (like Ackermann excavators or Champion graders )I'll come down from my soapbox now & yall have a great one . 1 Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.
