The mDRIVE is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Mack MP7 and MP8 engines in the Econodyne® and MaxiCruise® families. There’s no clutch pedal, and the gearshift is operated by an intelligent shift pad module and managed by sophisticated electronics. Any Pinnacle specified with an mDRIVE automated manual transmission not only delivers smooth shifts every time, but is also able to be operated by a larger pool of drivers.
Featuring advanced technology, mDRIVE continuously monitors changes in grade (both up and down), vehicle speed, throttle position, acceleration, torque demand and combined vehicle weight. With the engine and transmission in constant communication, there’s just no compromising. mDRIVE automatically selects the best gear for optimized fuel economy at the desired road speed. This puts less stress on the driveline, for longer life and less wear. The mDRIVE is based on proven technology that requires minimal service and significantly reduced maintenance.
The mDRIVE transmission features Mack’s industry-leading, two-speed reverse functionality that better controls speed and engine RPMs. The mDRIVE is also available with single and dual rear transmission PTO mounting options.
