Mack gives Granite new grille, heated headlights

by Today's Trucking

Mack has refreshed its Granite model with an updated chrome grille and self-heating LED headlights it says improves forward visibility by 29% and peripheral visibility by up to 50%.

The updated model made its debut at World of Concrete in Las Vegas, Nev., this week.

“The Mack brand is focused on building reliable, safe and comfortable products that help businesses maximize productivity,” said Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America. “The Granite refresh is an evolution of that DNA. The updated fascia not only looks great, but it also helps make the Granite safer to operate in a myriad of conditions and reduces strain on the operator. We are making a great product incrementally better.”

The new Granite will be available for order in February. The standard grille will have blacked-out cross bars surrounding the chrome Mack badge with the optional grille being all chrome.

The self-heating LEDs automatically sense ambient temperature and turn on to keep ice and snow from forming in colder environments. An anti-fog coating prevents condensation in warmer, humid environments.

In the event of damage, the headlight assemblies are designed to be easily replaced and are also backwards compatible with earlier truck models if current Granite owners choose to upgrade, the truck maker announced.
