Mack to expand engine lineup beyond truck applications
LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. (June 19, 2000) — Mack Trucks Inc. plans to adapt its E7 and E9 on-highway engines for marine, agricultural, power generation, and other diesel engine applications.
The engines will be marketed through a new business unit, MackPower, led by Mack vice-president of business development Scott Kress. Kress said Mack will dedicate a MackPower distribution network that will consist of new and established dealerships.
Initial power ratings for the marine E7 mechanical and electronically controlled six-cylinder, 12-litre engines (designated MP ME7) will range from 350 to 650 horsepower. Commercial and industrial engines (designated MP IE7) will range from 350 to 500 horsepower. Marine engines include both raw water-cooled and keel-cooled models.
Mack’s E9 engine, a 16-liter V8 design, will be available later in the year.
The toll-free telephone number for all MackPower inquiries is 877-6-PWRMACK.
