MACK Truck History
The history of the brand Mack begins in 1901, when the five brothers Mack founded the firm Mack Brothers Company and began to produce buses. In 1905 the company moved from the New York suburb of Brooklyn to Allentown, Pennsylvania, and began to specialize in the production of trucks.
At the end of 1910, Mack AB cars are being manufactured at the company's factories, which are used as cargo and urban transport.
In the 1910s a conflict arose between the brothers, and in 1913 the company was renamed into the International Motor Truck Corporation (since 1922 - Mack Trucks Incorporated).
From 1916 to 1939, Mack produces AC series cars that are rapidly gaining popularity in the US Army due to their reliability, versatility and high cross-country capability. They also receive for the first time from soldiers the nickname "bulldog" for the characteristic shape of the hood and power.
The nickname became so firmly attached to the truck that the company did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of this popularity - since June 1921 steel stamped plates with the image of a bulldog have adorned the hood of a truck. The emblem depicted a bulldog tearing the accounting book "Hauling Costs" (the cost of transportation). Since 1922, the bulldog figure on the hood becomes the official symbol of the Mack trucks.
During the Second World War, Mack was the main supplier of the US Army. More than 30,000 pieces of cargo vehicles for the transport of personnel, as well as evacuators and ambulances, are sent to the front.
From 1936 to 1972 "Mack" mastered the production of quarry and mining equipment with a carrying capacity of 15-100 tons.
In 1950, the designers of Mack develop the first diesel engine with direct injection and cooling system.
Since 1979, the company Mack Trucks ceases to be a closed joint stock company and exposes some of its shares to the auctions of the world's largest stock exchanges. Since 1990, Mack Trucks has been wholly owned by Renault V. I., part of the Renault Group.
On December 18, 2000, the US Department of Justice approved the acquisition of a part of MACK assets by the Swedish concern Volvo. Since June 2001, Mack has been manufacturing multipurpose universal series Granite ™ and Freedom ™. The priority direction of the company's activity is the production of heavy trucks for mining and construction.
