Furthermore, the company provides engines and power solutions for recreational and commercial vessels, as well as power generation.
Enter The Next Gen Mack LR Electric
The new LR Electric has 42 percent more energy and a standard 376 kWh total battery capacity, providing a greater range. The Mack LR Electric has twin electric motors and produces 448 continuous horsepower and 4,051 lb.-ft. of peak torque from zero RPM. The LR Electric is equipped with a two-speed Mack Powershift transmission, Mack mRIDE suspension, and Mack’s S462R 46,000-pound rear axles.
The LR Electric is easily identified by a copper-colored Bulldog on the cab denoting the electric drivetrain. Vehicle propulsion is provided by four NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide) lithium-ion batteries that are charged by a 150 kW, SAE J1772-compliant charging system. The four batteries also power every onboard accessory, which is powered by 12V, 24V, and 600V circuits. The two-stage regenerative braking system aids in the recovery of energy from the hundreds of stops made by the vehicle each day with an increasing load.
