Speaking to employees, officials and political allies, the president framed Mack Trucks as a symbol of domestic industrial strength and his trade approach.

Mack Trucks outlined a two-pronged tractor strategy built around the new Pioneer and a redesigned Anthem  at its Experience Center testing grounds.

A refresh of the truck maker’s lineup has been underway since Mack announced the Pioneer as its latest flagship Class 8 on-highway tractor in April 2025.

Mack Trucks released a series of digital developments to boost fleets’ operational efficiency, including for the Pioneer and Anthem Class 8 on-highway models.

The tractor was unveiled as the brand’s new flagship on-highway tractor in April in Brooklyn, N.Y., near where the company was founded 125 years earlier by Jack and Gus Mack.

Mack hopes the Pioneer — with a more aerodynamic shape than its predecessor, the Anthem — will help revitalize the company's fortunes in the longhaul segment of the truck market.

The revamped safety packages are headlined by a switch away from Bendix Fusion to a proprietary safety and collision mitigation system — Mack Protect.

One major key to the new model’s potential success is its combination of advanced aerodynamic design and ­driver ergonomics in the form of a wedge shape.

Chevron has scored a critical ruling in Paris that has given it the go-ahead for a $53 billion acquisition of Hess and access to one of the biggest oil finds of the decade.

Mack Trucks pulled back the curtain April 29 on plans to launch a battery-electric version of the Volvo Group division’s recently unveiled flagship on-highway Class 8 tractor, the Pioneer.
