bbigrig Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 The teaser video... Looks like the test truck wasn't far off after all. Glued on covers on the hood to hide the headlight set up and intake.

EM6285 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 It seems that it will retain the basic cab structure (CH/ Vision/ Pinnacle) and it will sport a brand new hood design, completely new interior design and a new sleeper design. If retaining the ageing "Mayflower cab", at least it is a relief it will not be or use a cloned VOLVO Trucks cab....

The Mack brand chassis has been the North American market Volvo chassis for many years now. Volvo of course designs their chassis. The frame components are produced by Mexico's Metalsa.

Or had they been produced in parallel for some while being offered as an optional choice?
