Mack Trucks Is Coming After The Tesla Semi
Briefly

Mack Trucks is introducing its third electric model, the Pioneer, a Class 8 truck designed for regional haul and hub operations. Set to launch next year, it boasts an estimated range of over 300 miles on a full charge and will be available in two configurations: a Day Cab and a 44-inch Short Sleeper. While its operation aligns with short-distance trucking, concerns over charging speeds, particularly compared to Tesla's Semis, raise questions about its competitive advantage. The Pioneer will utilize American-made batteries from Proterra, emphasizing its local production roots.
