kscarbel2 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Chicago Tribune / October 21, 1954Mack Trucks, Inc., will attempt to double its market share of the long-haul highway truck market from 10 to 20 percent and will seek even greater percentage shares in the bus, off-highway, construction, and fire apparatus fields, Elliott G. Ewell, Mack vice president, said yesterday.Addressing some 120 company salesmen and distributors from 10 central division states at a meeting in the Chicago Mack factory branch, Ewell said this can be accomplished thru the introduction of 20 new models by next August.The new models will replace some of the existing ones and will add four to the present 34 basic models, Ewell said.

41chevy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would think a Volvo Corporate cab and Chassis with things to make it individualized to a MACK, like the Navistar/CAT units?

Red Horse Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 First order of business is to pay off the EPA, then bring back 237, DM's and once again Mack will own vocational market. Yeah probably would not hurt to bring back R and U Actually a better thought. Paying off EPA just MIGHT get someone in trouble. Better plan would be same strategy as when you get caught violating an environmental rule-like filling a wet land. You have to replicate or make an improvement someplace else. SOOO- you donate to the Obama Library fund-done deal.

james j neiweem Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wow in the last ten years we have the Titan and LE. Granite is going on 15 years. Pinnacles 15 years. No wonder there are so many Shakers, Volvos Navistars and Paccars on the road. Mack finds it hard to keep pace with Western Star. I agree with Al bring back an updated R platform.
