ROANOKE VALLEY, Va. – Mack Trucks has begun producing its new MD Series of medium-duty trucks.

Full production is slated to begin Sept. 1. However, a Class 7 Mack MD7 with a GVWR of 33,000 lbs (pictured) recently rolled off the line at the company’s Roanoke Valley, Va., plant.

The truck maker invested US$13 million into the plant to accommodate production of its new medium-duty truck, also available as a Class 6 MD6 model.

Available in 4×2 configurations, the MD6 and MD7 models feature a sharp wheel cut for enhanced maneuverability for tough urban settings, the company claims. The MD Series cab design features a bumper-to-back-of-cab (BBC) measurement of 103 inches.
