Mack Super Econodyne Tour spreads word about fuel efficiency

Mack Trucks recently launched a North American tour featuring the Mack Super Econodyne powertrain package. Super Econodyne-equipped Pinnacle models are currently traveling between Mack dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada, giving customers an opportunity to experience the fuel economy and performance benefits of the recently introduced integrated powertrain package, the company said.

Super Econodyne efficiently and effectively integrates the Mack MP8-445SE engine, Mack mDrive automated manual transmission and Mack C125 axles, exemplifying the benefits of a Mack Pedigree Powertrain. According to the truck maker, with this combination, customers realize up to a 3.5% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to other similarly spec’d vehicles – with equivalent or better power and performance.

“This tour is a dynamic way for customers to experience first-hand the benefits of a Mack integrated powertrain solution,” said John Walsh, Mack Trucks vice president of marketing. “Like all Mack Pedigree powertrains – Mack engine, Mack transmission, Mack axles – Super Econodyne capitalizes on the seamless communication that comes with the front-to-back use of proprietary components. The result is a powerful, performance-driven ride that enhances customer profitability, as well as driver satisfaction.”

The Super Econodyne tour was in Texas and Louisiana through mid-November and continues to the Southwest and Central U.S., and eventually to Canada in spring 2013. To see tour dates and locations, visit www.macktrucksevents.com.
