Mack Trucks Australia is celebrating the Bulldog’s 125th year of manufacturing by unveiling an all-new Super-Liner for Australia at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show.
While the new truck was kept firmly under wraps before the doors opened at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on May 15, Mack did share some details with Big Rigs as we went to print with our special preview issue.
Renowned as Australia’s most powerful conventional truck over the past decade, the new Super-Liner now features a range-topping 780hp 17-litre MP11 engine paired with the latest generation mDRIVE transmission, making it an unrivalled force for Australia’s toughest transport challenges.
In addition, the Super-Liner will feature the fully integrated 70-inch, walk-through sleeper, available for order on both the Super-Liner and Titan models.
This sleeper – first introduced at the 2023 Brisbane Truck Show – boasts multiple configurations, including single and double bunks, and has been designed to set a new standard for driver comfort.
The Super-Liner now offers an exceptional balance of power, comfort, and cutting-edge features that address the unique needs of Australian drivers.
Also on display will be the Euro 6 MP8 High Efficiency Anthem, featuring turbo compound technology.
This innovative technology recycles energy from the engine’s exhaust flow and delivers it directly to the engine crankshaft, resulting in a remarkable 2800Nm of torque.
This upgrade significantly enhances both efficiency and performance for optimal highway performance.
A major focus of Mack’s 125-year journey has been the continuous evolution of safety and comfort. This is further emphasised with the introduction of the new Mack infotainment system, complete with a standard rear-view camera and optional additional cameras to enhance visibility on the job site.
Both the Super-Liner and Titan models feature improved cab suspension, making them not just workhorses, but also the most comfortable and well-equipped vehicles for drivers.
Mack’s commitment to sustainability is another key highlight. Since December 2024, all Mack trucks built at the Wacol factory are fuelled by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a more sustainable fuel alternative to diesel.
HVO helps reduce emissions and plays a significant role in Mack’s path to net-zero emissions.
“In light of the 125-year anniversary of Mack, we’re showcasing the best of Mack’s engineering and innovation here in Australia, including the new MP11, our most powerful engine yet,” said Tony O’Connell, Vice President of Mack Trucks Australia.
“These trucks are designed to ensure our customers have the best available technology and driver comfort, and this translates to unmatched performance, durability, and efficiency.
Additionally, Mack Trucks is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a heritage display at the Rocklea Heritage Show during the Brisbane Truck Show from May 15-18.
The display will showcase a Mack from each decade, offering a glimpse into the company’s rich history and the trucks that shaped the brand into the icon it is today.
“We’re thrilled to honour Mack’s rich heritage at the Rocklea Show, bringing together a larger community of Bulldog fans from all across Australia to celebrate the legacy that has shaped our brand and its enduring impact on the industry,” O’Connell added.
Joining the celebrations in Brisbane will be President of Mack Trucks, Stephen Roy, marking his first visit to Australia.
