Mack Trucks donates Granite model at World of Concrete 2023

The CIM program grants students a Bachelor of Science degree in Concrete Industry Management over four years.

Mack Trucks again supported the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) auction with a donation of a 2023 Mack Granite model that was auctioned Jan. 18 at World of Concrete 2023 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Proceeds from the auction will be used to establish and develop CIM programs throughout the U.S. The CIM program awards students with a four-year bachelor’s degree in science in Concrete Industry Management.

The Mack Granite chassis is mounted with an 11-cubic-yard M80 Series Drum, the McNeilus FLEX Controls Bridgemaster, donated by McNeilus. Powered by an 11-liter, 395-HP Mack MP7-395C engine, the donated Mack Granite model has power fed through Mack’s 14-speed Mack mDRIVE HD automated manual transmission with ultra-low ratio creeper gears and multi-speed reverse. The winning bidder received free delivery of the Mack Granite model, as well as a 60-month/250,000-mile Mack Engine Plan 2 extended warranty.
