National Geographic Marvels at the Making of Mack Trucks
GREENSBORO, NC — This is cool.
The National Geographic Channel is showing how Mack Trucks, Inc.’s heavy-haul Titan is put together on the premiere episode of Ultimate Factories.
The episode airs on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 8 p.m ET (but check your local listings!).
“Filming a show about Mack trucks was definitely one of the coolest gigs I’ve had,” said Ultimate Factories associate producer Francis Cordero in her blog about the episode.
“There are hundreds of people involved in the making of this truck in three main facilities. We filmed at all three locations, the first at the Macungie Assembly plant where the trucks drive off the line. The second facility was the Powertrain center where the Mack engines are made. The last location we filmed at was the customer center where Mack trucks are test driven on a closed course.”
