Big power, extra-strong chassis components, bold styling and a posh interior are among features of Mack Trucks' Titan, a severe-service model designe
d for heavy transport and construction applications. Due out late this fall, the Titan will be powered by a new 16.1-liter MP10 diesel with up to 605 horsepower and 2,060 pounds-feet.
Titan is based on the Granite vocational series, and gets Mack back into the heavy-transport market it left when it dropped the CL long conventional more than a year ago and the RW Super-Liner before that. Titan is "our flagship, the top of the top," said Steve Ginter, the builder's vocational segment product manag
er who headed the team that designed the new model. He and other Mack executives announced it at the Conexpo-Con/Agg show in Las Vegas in mid-March.
The Super-Liner was available with a 998-cubic-inch V-8 ?which made as much as 500 horsepower ? while the modern 984-cubic-inch MP 10 will produce 105 more horsepower and its exhaust will be 99.9 percent cleaner, Ginter said. The new engine is an adaptati
on of the D16 offered by Volvo Trucks, Mack's sister company. Like other current Mack and Volvo diesels, the MP 10 will be made by Volvo Powertrain in Hagerstown, Md., while the Titan will be assembled at Macungie, Pa.
The Mack Power 10 will propel the Titan. It is an inline six-cylinder diesel with a single overhead cam, high-pressure fuel injection, and rear-mounted geartrain. In addition to the 605-horsepower/2,060-lbs.-ft. rating, it will also be available at 515 and 565 horsepower with 1,860 lbs.-ft.
High-capacity chassis components will allow Titan to have gross combination weight ratings as high as 300,000 pounds. They will include front axles rated from 12,000 to 20,000 pounds and rear tandems from 46,000 to 65,000 pounds. Frame rails will come in thicknesses of 8, 9.5 and 11 millimeters, with partial or full 5-mm inserts. The MP 10 will be matched with 10-, 13- and 18-speed Mack T300ES transmissions or certain vendor gearboxes.
