Mack Trucks and Terex Utilities have announced plans to reveal the next generation of their zero-emissions utility bucket trucks at Work Truck Week in Indiana later this month \u2013\u00a0and it looks fantastic!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Co-developed by Terex Utilities and Mack Trucks on a Mack MD7 Electric Class 7 chassis<\/a>, the new Terex bucket truck is a zero-emission utility capable of traveling longer distances and hauling more cargo wherever it\u2019s needed to upgrade, or even restore power where it\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n

To make it work, Terex installed an Optima HR55 aerial device that draws power from a HyPower SmartPTO (Power Take Off<\/a>) from Viatec. The SmartPTO replaces a conventional, mechanical PTO that\u2019s powered by an internal combustion generator. In so doing, it avoids a loud idling engine while reducing utility workers\u2019 exposure to toxic exhaust fumes and the heavy particulate emissions matter with idling diesels (even with Tier V standards).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur collaboration with Mack Trucks represents continued progress in zero-emissions utility vehicles,\u201d explains Tyler Schwingler, Terex Utilities product marketing manager. \u201cBy combining our industry-leading Optima HR55 aerial device with Mack\u2019s innovative\u00a0MD7 Electric chassis, we\u2019re providing utility companies with a solution that doesn\u2019t compromise on performance or capability while supporting their sustainability goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition helping meet the company\u2019s ESG goals, the Mack MD Electric\u00a0is also equipped with the advanced 3rd Eye digital platform, which integrates AI-driven camera systems to enhance safety and productivity. With up to six HD cameras that display a real-time, 460-degree view on a 7-inch in-cab monitor. The bird\u2019s-eye view all but eliminates blind spots when reversing and moving through high-traffic job sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis electric bucket truck represents the next natural step in our commitment to sustainable transportation solutions,\u201d says George Fotopoulos, vice president of E-mobility at Mack Trucks. \u201cOur lightweight electric chassis provides the capability to handle more demanding applications, and when combined with Terex\u2019 expertise in utility equipment, we\u2019re delivering a solution that pushes the boundaries of what\u2019s possible in zero tailpipe emissions utility vehicles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terex will be bringing its new Mack MD Electric<\/a>-based utility bucket truck to this year\u2019s Work Truck Week at the Indianapolis Convention Center March 8-11.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

If all this news sounds familiar, that just means you\u2019ve been paying attention. We covered the HyPower SmartPTO a few months ago in a story about Enwin Utilities<\/a>. Those trucks were based on a Class 7 (33,000 lb. GVWR)\u00a0International eMV Series BEV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The International is a fine truck, of course \u2013\u00a0but the Mack MD Electric raises the bar a bit with more range than the eMV and more rear axle capacity than anything else in its class. The MD also has enough commonality with its HD cabs and chassis that parts availability seems to be top of the class. Pair that with parent company Volvo\u2019s global reputation for quality and progressive ideologies and<\/a>, well \u2026\u00a0let\u2019s just say we all have our favorites.<\/p>\n
