LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa. — Mack Trucks is joining the Allison Transmission EDGE Program in making Allison’s automatic transmissions exclusive in Mack Granite, Vision, Pinnacle, CH, and MR models.

The program provides customers with a broader range of automatic transmission options, all at highly competitive prices, Mack says.

“With the industry trend shifting to more automatic transmissions, particularly in heavy-duty mixer and dump applications, we saw the opportunity to partner with Allison in their EDGE Program as an effective way to take full advantage of this trend, and, more importantly, to offer our customers a greater overall value,” said Tom Kelly, Mack vice-president of marketing in a press release.

“As our partner in the Allison EDGE Program, Mack will have the right transmission with the right coverage at the right price for the particular needs of its customers,” said Jim Wanaselja, director, North American marketing sales and service and global business activities of Allison Transmission.
