Bullheaded Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just saw an add from Mack....shows a highway and says "We're embarking on a new journey." 03. 04. 14.Any ideas?? Something to do with the new Presidents announcement he wants a bigger share of the long haul highway market??Or a new model? Or finally M-Drive in Granite/Titan?????

Jeffrey Baker Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Con-Agg Show starts in Vegas on that date so it would probably fall in line with the granite. M-Drive added to the granite lineup would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DailyDiesel Posted February 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2014 Modern versions of B-Model, R-model, Superliner and Cruiseliner are all coming back. Splitting from Volvo, will be all American owned by workers. What can I say, I dream BIG! 7 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I be just as happy if they would start selling gliders like Freightliner.....so I can put an E9 in a new Titan.....or Pinnacle Rawhide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41180 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 my guess is this is going to be a new highway truck to take the place of the pinnacles. probably a new type of mack/volvo cab i hope a set forward option will still be available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If this is true,please let it look like a truck and not like the awful looking contraptions the others brands are building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Would you believe the new model is a new side loader garbage vehicle as stated by the new chairman. That should help out expanding the highway penetration.LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 They need something to pick up all the other brands off the highway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 This is complete speculation/rumor...but I think the news may be a new corporate logo! Maybe even a change to the Bulldog hood ornament.

Bullheaded Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well it is a new garbage truck for sure Barry. It's in all the trade magazines. But as far as anything else, I think you are right, just a rebranding debut and a greater focus on highway sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbigrig Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 The Updated LE cab was displayed at the test center when I was there years ago before it became the museum.I think it was 2007-08. All I can say is my Highway drivers are starting to complain about cab and sleeper space. Most of the complaints are from my new hires that came out of Cascadia`s and Volvo`s that have larger cabs and sleepers available.Hope they don`t screw it up and keep the Macks different from the Volvo product.

DailyDiesel Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Did someone at Volvo finally realize the Mack brand has more equity in the U.S. than Volvo itself? Did the realize the company could be a huge boom to their global business if treated correctly? Let's hope so.

kscarbel Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The Mack (Volvo) "Born Ready" video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAgDmL2oYRA- Comments posted on Mack’s official YouTube website.Brandon Martin: Please tell me there is more to this?? John Stover: Seriously? That it? Brandon Martin: That's what I'm saying John Stover Florian J Cannata: Wow, I stayed up for this? Guess I'll just climb back in my classic DM in the morning and bitch how bad Volvo has screwed it up again Justin Young: I was hoping for a Superliner comeback! Dyna Sluyter: Mack ain't even listening to us... Brandon Martin: WTF I'm going to bed Ken Nagy Jr: Boy what a let down. Thought it was gonna be something worth waiting for. This is a classic Volvo-style video. They could have done this several ways and been a winner. But as it is, everyone is disappointed. What was the point? I didn’t sense any new brand, rather just hollow rhetoric with no substance behind it.Now, I invite you to watch these Scania videos and see how world class sales marketing is done.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuu4D-j-Ymchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPK9PyenTtc&list=PL2E544D75CCFF281D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
