American company Mack Trucks will add a third electric model to its portfolio, and this time it’s a direct competitor to the Tesla Semi The battery-powered Mack Pioneer will go on sale next year with a maximum estimated driving range of over 300 miles which is based on the latest-generation Class 8 truck with the same name the electric rig was designed for trips of up to 300 miles as well as low-speed operations around ports and transport hubs Two cab types will be available: a Day Cab and a 44-inch Short Sleeper As a reminder, the Tesla Semis in PepsiCo’s fleet—the only one in commercial operation so far—usually travel less than 100 miles on a daily basis despite Tesla advertising between 300 and 500 miles on a full charge That fits perfectly with what Mack’s Pioneer will be able to handle there’s one big differentiating factor that could still keep the Semi ahead of the Pioneer Mack has been tight-lipped about its Class 8 hauler’s charging capabilities Mack’s other electric trucks can charge at up to 150 kW the Proterra H2-23 battery that will power the Mack Pioneer EV has been rigorously tested in-house to make sure it can withstand the hardships of the heavy-duty truck market as well as delivering fast charging speeds The battery sends electricity to Mack's in-house e-axle The combustion-powered Pioneer truck is touted by Mack as being its most fuel-efficient model ever with an 11% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the equivalent prior model While the powertrain and transmission upgrades of the diesel-powered Pioneer won’t have an impact on the electric version’s efficiency which replaces traditional side mirrors with cameras can deliver about 1% in fuel savings for fleets The Tesla Semi also uses video cameras instead of mirrors to boost efficiency The Pioneer will be Mack Trucks’ third electric model, after the utility-oriented LR and medium-duty MD Volvo Just Sold Its 5,000th Electric Truck Waymo Is Far From Done With The Jaguar I-Pace Your Future Deliveries Could Come From This Range-Extended Electric Truck Ford Isn't Slowing Down Mustang Mach-E Production The 2025 Ram ProMaster EV Is A Lot Cheaper And Goes Further The 2025 Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck Is America’s New Range King Renault's New Electric Vans Revive Estafette This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page It wouldn't be a major sporting event without Mattress Mack and there a few events each year the Houston furniture store magnet loves more than the Kentucky Derby Mack lost again in 2023 after putting another $1.2 million on Angel of Empire So who did Mack bet on for the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby It wouldn't have been surprising if Mack sat out the Derby altogether this year after he lost $1.5 million betting on Texas to win the College Football Playoff as well as another $500,000 lost on Texas to win the SEC championship Instead Mack made another signature arrival in Louisville on Saturday Best of luck to those who tail (or fade) whichever horse Mack favors University of Missouri men's basketball continued to add to its signing class on Monday Mack scored in double figures during his first two collegiate seasons – averaging 10.8 points per game the 6-foot-4 guard originally from Chicago has amassed 724 points 111 assists and 75 steals in 67 games during his first two college campaigns "Sebastian is another player with high-major experience, enjoying a lot of success in his two seasons in the Pac-12 and Big Ten," said Whitten Family Head Coach Dennis Gates "He is a player that embodies our identity of tough physical and disruptive and is a downhill guard that will excel on both ends of the floor with our team We value his ability to get to the free-throw line and he is a player that can help take this team to another level."

with a week and a half left in the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ fishing competition This year’s Spring Mack Days has set a new record for the number of lake trout caught in the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes’ (CSKT) flagship fishing contest which was first organized 23 years ago to help keep Flathead Lake’s population of aquatic invaders in check anglers had reeled in a whopping 46,586 fish That’s 6,224 beyond the previous record from 2019 with 40,362 entries Not to mention there is still time left before the contest closes said the record-high number of mostly juvenile lake trout serves as an indicator of the suppression program’s success while also signaling a shift in the age classification of fish that anglers are landing which now account for the majority of contest entries Although Hansen anticipated changes to the lake trout age classifications occurring at some point it’s happening earlier than anticipated “When we began our management efforts to reduce the number of lake trout we were able to look at other systems where this kind of work has been done we knew what the scenario would be,” Hansen said but it did catch us a little by surprise how quickly it happened.” Sign up for our newsletter and get the best of the Beacon delivered every day to your inbox The deep-water fish population skyrocketed after the introduction of mysis shrimp to the lake in 1981 snuffing out the native bright red Kokanee salmon population by 1989 before moving on to drastically impact native westslope cutthroat and bull trout populations the CSKT and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks (FWP) adopted the Flathead Lake and River Fisheries Co-Management Plan with a goal to “increase and protect native trout populations” and “balance tradeoffs between native species conservation and nonnative species reduction to maintain a viable recreational/subsistence fishery.” In a culmination of suppression efforts the CSKT’s added the Implementation Plan for Lake Trout Suppression in 2014 the Tribes biannual fishing contest has played an integral role in downsizing the lake trout population alongside its gillnetting program harvesting 718,351 lake trout in fall and spring Mack Day events between 2002 and 2022 Reducing an overly abundant population of a single species also reduces the competition within the population an opportunistic and sometimes cannibalistic feeder lowering the numbers of adults gives juvenile fish a higher chance of survival because there isn’t the same level of intraspecies competition and predation as before “The stimulation of juveniles is kind of like thinning your garden and getting sunlight in,” he said “That’s what the lake trout population is doing.” For a fishing contest that enlists anglers to help suppress lake trout populations and incentivizes their participation by offering prize money the fiscal consequences of reaching this era of abundant adolescent lake trout is already registering in CSKT’s budget anglers have a chance to win lottery drawings or cash in on tagged trout assigned high-dollar prize money There are also cash awards for smallest trout and “golden” (age 70 and older) By the end of the fifth week of this spring’s contest anglers touting huge hauls had already surpassed the contest’s $225,000 budget biologists recalculated awards for tagged lake trout starting April 23 and extending through the contest’s conclusion on May 10 to help reduce risk and liability for the event if one is caught normally ranging between $100 and $500 and some between $1,000 and $5,000 Even though the prize money revisions force CSKT to make shifts and sacrifices to fund the remaining Spring Mack Days awards and is costing more than we thought for this particular event,” Hansen said “Had we known we would have budgeted in advance because this is what we’re trying to achieve There’s a lot of juveniles and we need to get them to the right level.” a CSKT fisheries specialist who oversees Mack Days said that a few years ago the team had looked into buying insurance to cover the high-dollar prizes but that the insurance overhead was too high “It’s a little disappointing to some people but there’s still $100 out there,” said Bras-Benson “That’s more than you had when you went out.” With the goal to manage lake trout down to a “fishable population,” with low enough numbers for other native trout populations to thrive with plans to budget future events for the next step in fishing down the juvenile trout to a manageable level “It’s a dynamic condition that just takes time to reach the balance that we’re describing to achieve,” he said it reached its own equilibrium and stability over time we brought in all these new species that interacted in an entirely different way those new species would completely take over and that’s what we’re working through.” Bras-Benson said there were seven anglers out on the water Wednesday Spring Mack Days runs until May 10

Couceiro said that along with battery-electric and fuel cell electric “the combustion engine has a very important role to play.” Instead of fossil-fuel diesel trucking can run on low-carbon biofuels such as renewable diesel Randall noted that simply updating to more efficient diesel equipment is a straightforward way to increase efficiency without worrying about alternative power sources so I’m pleased to say that starting next year you will be able to order the Mack Pioneer as a battery-electric truck using Proterra batteries and Mack’s proprietary e-axle,” he said.  the EV Pioneer will be available as a day cab or 44-in The Mack Pioneer Electric will feature an entirely in-house electric platform utilizing Mack’s proprietary e-axle and Proterra batteries Proterra has offices in California and South Carolina The Proterra H2-23 battery has been rigorously tested to ensure it can withstand the most demanding environments while also charging quickly The compact battery pack is designed with advanced active and passive safety features to mitigate risks and ensure optimal on-road performance The Pioneer BEV will be based on the diesel-powered Mack Pioneer which comes in four sleeper configurations and as a day cab.  Share on FacebookShare on X (formerly Twitter)Share on PinterestShare on LinkedInPLAQUEMINE (WAFB) - A two-vehicle crash on LA 75 near Mendoza Road in

employer,” says Nicole DeFuso To view the full video, click here Mack Truck workers went on strike to win a new agreement at the iconic truck maker the company falsely represented plans to further invest in Pennsylvania the company has broken ground to build a facility in Monterrey where workers are likely to make less than $4 an hour The UAW has filed Unfair Labor Practice charges at the National Labor Relations Board over the company’s bad faith bargaining Mack’s decision to build a plant in Mexico—rather than keeping production in the United States—is the direct result of disastrous trade policies such as NAFTA and its successor “The products are being sold for the same amount if not more But that’s all going into the pockets of the corporations,” says Michael Shupp The newly released video provides firsthand accounts from UAW Local 677 members who express their concerns about job security It calls out the bipartisan failure to protect American workers from these trade policies which have fueled a race to the bottom in wages and working conditions allowing corporations like Mack to exploit cheaper labor abroad at the expense of U.S The UAW has been vocal in demanding the immediate renegotiation of the USMCA so-called “free trade” has devastated the working class Corporations have driven a relentless race to the bottom killing good blue-collar jobs in America while exploiting workers in other countries with poverty wages The union has also encouraged the use of tariffs as a tool in the fight to undo the injustice of anti-worker trade deals Now you read up on this stuff and you see how much destruction that certain things can have,” says DeFuso “We need to have laws that are going to support us and not have to be worried about potentially losing our jobs,” says Dan Hand The union has expressed that if corporate America chooses to jack up prices on the working class or throw their own workers under the bus just to avoid paying their fair share The working class took the full hit when NAFTA hollowed out manufacturing towns like those in the Lehigh Valley and they shouldn’t bear the brunt of undoing it The UAW is actively engaged in negotiations with the Trump Administration regarding its plans to end the free trade disaster The union is looking to negotiate the terms of the upcoming auto tariffs in April in a way that benefits the working class The union is demanding serious action to incentivize companies to change their behavior The policies that reflect trade have not been on the worker side for many years Collateral damage basically to someone’s stroke of a pen When the company is looking at where they can go they’re going to find the cheapest place possible GM was moving to Mexico because they could pay their employees $0.48 an hour Mack is currently moving to Mexico because they can pay their employees $3 to $4 an hour or what you don’t mean to your employer and I’m actually concerned about the longevity of the plant But now you read up on this stuff and you see how much destruction that certain things can have We need to have laws that are going to support us and not have to be worried about potentially losing our jobs The products are being sold for the same amount But that’s all going into the pockets of the corporations There’s a lot of question marks as far as where we’re going to be in the future Maybe they had this in the back of their mind the whole time that they would just move this plant and save the money on wages going to a foreign country where they’re going to pay them pennies on the dollar to do the same labor that we do They’re building a bigger divide between the haves and have-nots The income down in Mexico is very low compared to what it is here They need to support their families as well You want to feel like your livelihood matters It will definitely affect work here in the Lehigh Valley those are good jobs that we need to fight for (313) 926-5000 This

toughness But the trucking pioneer wanted its next on-highway truck to meet its own B.A asked industry media before the new Mack Pioneer truck was unveiled to the public here “It has to look badass… We don’t like pretty or cute Mack used its New York City roots as the backdrop to debut the most aerodynamic highway truck in its long history creating 11% better fuel efficiency than the Mack Anthem The all-new Mack Pioneer is designed for fleet efficiency that makes hard-working drivers’ jobs easier Couceiro said hours before the truck was unveiled at the Brooklyn Navy Yard with the lower Manhattan skyline across the water Engine: Mack MP 13 (optional Mack MP 13HE)Power: 415-455 hp (415-515 hp)Torque: 1,550-1,900 lb.-ft (1,750-1,950 lb.-ft.)Transmission: mDrive (optional mDrive HD)Suspensions: MaxRide Air Mack mRide SpringTruck class: Class 8Vehicle applications: Long-haul which will be produced along with the Mack Anthem as the Bulldog’s premier long-haul highway truck will be available in various sleeper and day cab configurations in the U.S which was founded by two brothers here in Brooklyn in 1900 said a “next-gen” Anthem is in the works The Class 8 Anthem has found more success as a day cab which sets up the Pioneer as Mack's premier long-haul product as it looks to grow its small market share among North American over-the-road fleets He also said that the OEM is working on a battery-electric Pioneer model Mack is opening its order books immediately on the diesel-powered Pioneer Couceiro said Mack’s pitch to fleets that might not have looked to Mack for long-haul equipment in the past is that Mack has always been about uptime “That’s never been a problem for us,” he said “I think we’ve always been known for reliability and things like that—so much that people almost take it for granted.” And while the Anthem highway truck was “a competitive product on safety we have high ambitions to grow the on-highway market Just being competitive wasn’t enough This is really what we are doing with the Pioneer—we’re really taking it into a leading position in these three elements: safety The new Mack Pioneer truck is available in multiple configurations to suit various fleet and carrier applications: The sleeper configurations offer options from a basic flat bunk to premium reclining bunks allowing the truck maker to meet various highway applications and driver preferences sleeper configuration offers Mack’s FlexSuite system with a lower bunk that can be rotated against the rear wall to create more living space A fold-down dinette area and a reclining mattress provide comfortable spaces for meals and relaxation Mack integrated metal handles and extrusions at all interior touch points using premium materials that make it more durable and improve drivers’ tactile experience work truck feel that is part of Mack’s DNA said the Pioneer will be a truck that drivers want to work in we’re not just introducing a new truck,” he said “We’re redefining what a highway truck can be taking trucking into the 21st century with features that transform the daily experience of professional drivers who spend an average of 150 hours per month in their trucks.” Before the Pioneer’s public debut that drew hundreds to this East River pier (and thousands more for the live virtual unveiling) Mack engineers detailed what went into the new Class 8 truck’s design that they said includes several industry-first and cutting-edge features The Pioneer’s distinctive brand bridge in the grille creates a new signature Mack look for the tractor that integrates headlamps with the grille trim The OEM also repositioned its signature bulldog hood ornament removing it from its typical pedestal to incorporate it into the body design The grille is made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic with metal-formed mesh that makes it both strong and lightweight The headlamps include a standard defrost function that pushes hot air into the lens to prevent ice buildup Previous LED lamp heating solutions relied on embedded wires in the lens which were both optional and less visually appealing The new headlamps ensure optimal visibility in all weather conditions “The Mack Pioneer represents our commitment to innovation and excellence in the highway segment,” Randall said during the unveiling at the Navy Yard “This truck tells the Mack story—it’s bold embodying our DNA and character while taking our customers into the future with advanced design that prioritizes both driver experience and operational efficiency.” The Pioneer’s interior was designed based on feedback from dealers and drivers including a non-branded 40-driver focus group at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg that offered engineers unbiased evaluations of the cab's ergonomics and features “Professional drivers inspired every aspect of the Pioneer’s interior design,” said Vince Lokers “We reached out to our dealer network to understand pain points and day-to-day nuances which helped us develop unique features that make a real difference in driver comfort and productivity.” The Pioneer introduces Mack’s premium seating system (that even offers a massage option) with a broader and taller frame and expanded shoulder and headrest areas This is the first Mack with armrests on both sides of the seat which helps drivers’ arms travel with them on the suspension rather than resting on the fixed door panel but we’re also the only OEM offering this type of seat with perforated material for both heating and cooling functions plus an integrated massage system that provides relief during long hauls,” Lokers said combined with newly redesigned suspension options will make the Pioneer a market leader in ride comfort You won’t find a smoother ride on the highway.” Other driver comforts include a push-button start a Mack-first mDrive transmission stalk that moves gear selection to the steering column and an industry-first flat-bottom steering wheel for easier entry and exit The Pioneer also offers wireless charging and a customizable switch layout that allows drivers to arrange switch banks by preferences Mack’s optional integrated parking cooler includes an advanced electric APU (auxiliary power unit) designed to keep drivers cool and comfortable during warm nights without running the engine Frontal air bags will be offered as standard equipment with the Pioneer an entirely new proprietary ADAS that incorporates the latest active and passive safety technologies for commercial vehicles The Pioneer also features Mack-first features focused on enhancing functionality and safety the cab entry steps feature a design borrowed from the construction industry with extended width and optimal grip surfaces The truck features interior grab bars for secure cabin access in all weather conditions and a structural dash extrusion that aids mobility Door handles throughout the truck maintain a consistent feel and experience The advanced HVAC system with door-mounted louvers that direct heating and cooling to the driver's shoulder area and window further improves comfort and visibility The Pioneer features aggressive windshield angles and an optional digital mirror system that replaces traditional mirrors with HD cameras and in-cab displays which helps make the truck more aerodynamic The design team started with the driver’s position including the windscreen and the door architecture to ensure optimal visibility and aerodynamics combined with engine and transmission upgrades delivers up to an 11% improvement in fuel efficiency compared with the equivalent prior model from Mack.   The Mack Pioneer will be the most connected Mack truck in its 125-year history It features a substantial increase in remote diagnostics and over-the-air software update capabilities The new MyMack smartphone app will enable drivers to check truck status and control lights and HVAC systems remotely.   the structural dash extrusion provides device mounting options The Pioneer features an advanced communications system with a ball socket joint mount for phones and navigation devices A dedicated ELD mounting plate provides secure placement for essential compliance equipment while a Mack-first tablet holder positioned below accommodates iPads and similar devices.  the truck includes Mack-first dual inductive charging stations—one optimized for the driving position and another located in the living environment—eliminating cable clutter while ensuring devices remain powered throughout the journey.  FleetOwner and our commercial-vehicle-focused Endeavor Business Media affiliates, including Fleet Maintenance and Bulk Transporter will have more details on the new Mack Pioneer this week and next.   By Brandy
