by: Bruno Raschio
"MACK TRUCKS" are one of the best subsidiary of AB Volvo as they are very efficient and enduring, as "BULLDOGS" are very powerful amongst its breed so is "MACK TRUCKS" amongst all leading brands.
Mack Trucks are the best in building heavy-duty trucks capable of enduring a punishing terrain and the vagaries of nature. Mack Trucks is one of the world's leading truck-manufacturing companies. We have our headquarters Florida,USA and branches across USA. Mack Trucks is a top producer in the vocational, on-road-vehicle market. It is also the most popular manufacturer of heavy-duty off-road trucks in America.
The journey of Mack Trucks began in 1893 when the Mack brothers, Jack and Augustus, bought over Fallesen & Berry factory.
Soon, the Macks started experimenting with various steam and electric motor cars.
Inspired by the inventions taking place all around him, Jack envisioned the building of heavy -duty trucks and thus began an eventful journey.
The first product from the house of Macks was a bus, which was used by sightseeing concessionaire Harris and McGuire, for eight years before it was converted into a truck.
In the early 1900s, Mack Trucks became famous as ever-reliable trucks that could easily endure rugged terrains.
Soon enough, Mack Truck Inc. were the first truck manufacturers to introduce a constant mesh feature that protected gears from being damaged or stripped by inexperienced drivers.
In 1919, Manhattan Trucks was re-christened as ‘Mack’. Later, in 1922, it adopted bulldog as its corporate logo. As to how a bulldog was chosen as, a symbol of Mack Truck Inc. is an interesting story in itself. Lore at Mack Truck Inc. say that during the First World War, the British government had chosen the sturdy Mack trucks for transporting important war supplies and food requirements to the soldiers on the front. These Mack trucks, with their blunt-nosed hood, resembled a bulldog. Besides, the Mack trucks were proving as tenacious as bulldogs. These qualities reminded the British soldiers of their official mascot the ‘British Bulldog’. Now, Mack Truck Inc. viewed this as a matter of pride and hence they adopted the bulldog as a corporate symbol to represent all the future generation of Mack trucks.
Since then, Mack trucks have undertaken important missions of national and international importance. For instance, they played an important role in the trans-continental convoy conducted by the US Army, which highlighted the need for a national highway system. Similarly, Mack Truck Inc. played a major role in the building of the Boulder dam. It also played an important role in the Second World War. Mack trucks found themselves adorning the role of prime movers, personnel carriers, wrecker trucks, tank transporters, and more.
Thus, Mack trucks has played an important role in the American history and are now serving the needs of a modernized world by providing various upliftments in the working and manufacturer of transportation.
