Mack Trucks has revealed its second all-electric model, the medium-duty MD Electric, which will be available in Class 6 and Class 7 ratings, like its diesel counterpart, the MD, and will be built at the Roanoke Valley Operations (RVO) facility in Virginia, where the truck manufacturer began production of the MD series in 2020.
The new Mack MD Electric has a single, rear-mounted electric motor that generates up to 260 horsepower and a maximum peak torque of 1,850 pound-feet (2,513 Newton-meters). However, the spec sheet mentions that the continuous output of the three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor is rated at 138 kilowatts (185 hp) and 960 lb-ft (1,2800 Nm) of torque.
