dogg rescue Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 That sucks. I'm sure it has something to do with poor sales. Any indication of spec. changes on current models to fill the void?

james j neiweem Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Logtruckman. Mack has zero say on what goes on. Volvo killed Titan. Seems like the new Scania boss is putting Mack on the back burner. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48150-titan-to-be-discontinued/#findComment-356502 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instant price reductiion and weight reduction would of opened up new markets . Yeah James and he's shoving these trucks up our a** that we won't be able to get parts for . 4 hours ago, james j neiweem said: Logtruckman. Mack has zero say on what goes on. Volvo killed Titan.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yup, offer the MP8 and offer a further forward front axle option... Lots of truckers still need an axle forward to meet bridge formula requirements or prevent front axle overloading. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48150-titan-to-be-discontinued/#findComment-356507 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if volvo was still going to make there heavy haul truck. It's a shame if the Titan is done. It had the potential to sell better if mack/volvo put more effort into it. But hey it's their loss. When it comes time to get some new trucks, Mack won't get our business anymore if they don't offer at least 550 hp. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48150-titan-to-be-discontinued/#findComment-356537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamsterGrrrl Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 While Volvo is telling us we don't need more than 505 HP in our Macks... Paccar, Navistar, Daimler, and even Volvo in the VNX are still offering up to 600 HP. 505 HP is fine up to 80k GCW, maybe OK at 105.5k, and marginal at 140k in a Canadian Super B train. Got a 160 k or so Michigan 11 axle "train" or an even heavier South Dakota 17 axle doubles at 170k or heavier permit loads... Forget about Mack, and may as well write off Volvo while we're at it!

There was no info on the Volvo side about discontinuing the D16. So the MP-10 will likely live on as the D16 in the Volvo side.

kt_Engineer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Give a year or two, you will understand why D16/MP10 does NOT make sense. When you can generate 600HP & 2100 Lb-ft of torque with 13L - Turbo compound engine and save on weight as well as cost will you want to spend extra money on Titan? How about a pinnacle (CXU/CHU) with same power as Titan at a lot less cost?

Dirtymilkman Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Talked to a Mack rep today. Titan is done. But he said there are announcements to be made in the next couple weeks. I don't believe Volvo is deliberately trying to kill Mack, I think they are just that ignorant and arrogant. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48150-titan-to-be-discontinued/#findComment-356556 Share on other sites More sharing options...
