In an effort to tout the fuel-saving capabilities of the company’s MP8HE+ powertrain package, Mack Trucks recently launched a fuel savings calculator on its website.
The fuel savings calculator allows Mack website visitors to select fleet size, number of trucks in their fleet and the average cost per gallon of diesel fuel. The information is used to calculate the average amount a customer could save over one, three or five years with the Mack MP8HE+ powertrain package, the company says.
Mack said that the next generation of its 13-liter MP8HE engine improved fuel efficiency by up to 3% when compared with the former MP8HE engine. Included in the MP8HE+ powertrain package are the MP8HE engine, Mack mDRIVE automated manual transmission, Mack Predictive Cruise and multiple aerodynamic enhancements.
