220cummins Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Posted to a Facebook group. Is this suppose to compete with international for municipal jobs or is this a one off type thing? Pretty cool considering it's different doors on the back of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MackTech Posted October 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2015 It is a one of a kind being made for the plant. It is a GU712, all wheel drive, MP-8, 800 hp, 2800 lbs. of torque, and is having a custom pickup bed installed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 What have they done to crank the mp8 that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't the new common rail is it? What trans is in it? I think if this cab option were in production it would be a good fit for municipalities and fire/rescues. Attached are an additional picture of it and an explanation of it. I guess Volvo is investing in a modernization of Macgunie and changing the name to Lehigh Valley Operations (LVO). Guess this is just another death nail for the "Old Mack" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The step mounting arrangement, given that it's going to be a pickup, looks ridiculous. Gotta love those signature Volvo "D-shaped" fuel tanks on a truck with the Mack nameplate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackTech Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 There is a turbo from an MP-10 on it and it's on a regular standard GU frame. There is unique programming in it as well. The pickup bed is still a ways away yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post james j neiweem Posted October 30, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2015 I can see increased sales for MP 10 turbos and damaged MP 8's 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I can see increased sales for MP 10 turbos and damaged MP 8's I doubt it. The manifold has to be custom or one off. The MP10 turbo is gigantic compared to a MP8. I think this truck is a good move to show off the Mack Brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
