A 377 cu in ( 6.2 L ) 4 cylinder gasoline engine 4X2 with chain drive, it was strong, reliable, and worked well in rough terrain. Introduced in 1916, there was a great demand because of World War I, over 6000 3 ⁄ -, 5 ⁄ -, and 7 ⁄ - ton trucks were built for the UK and US military. There were also commercial sales from 1916 ; the AC was well suited for logging and construction work. A larger version, the AP, built between 1926 and 1938, was an off - road haul truck used on Boulder Dam and other large projects. 40,299 ACs had been built when production ended in 1939. N series The N Series was Mack 's first military design, large 6 and 7 1 / 2 ton 6X6 artillery prime movers. Between its development in the late 1930s and the beginning of production in 1940 US military requirements changed and the truck was not needed. All NMs and most of the larger NOs were exported as foreign aid. After World War II the NO was developed into the successful M 123 semi-tractor. B series The Mack B series models were Mack 's primary vehicle from its introduction in 1953 until it was replaced by the R Series in 1966. They ranged in size from the medium duty B20P gas powered 4X2 to the oversized B873SX turbo - diesel 6X6. B Models were commonly used as semi tractors and in the construction industry. They were also used as fire engines and trucks, sometimes with the roof of the cab removed. 127,786 B Models were built. R / RB / RD / RL / RM / RW, U, DM / DMM series This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( June 2008 ) Mack started to produce the Mack R series ( R, RW, and U models ) in 1966 for highway use, and the RD, DM, and all wheel drive RM and DMM models for construction use. The lightweight RL model followed in 1967, the RW Superliner with a large, rectangular hood and grill in 1977, and the setback front axle RB in the 1990s. All these models featured the same cab ; the U, DM, and DMM had the cab offset to the left. In the 1990s, the R, RW, and U series models were discontinued and the RB was introduced, mostly for severe - duty applications. The hood was modified slightly for the model RB. 2004 was the last year for the RD, and 2006 for the RB and DM. The DM was the last model to use this cab style, and was the last model of this family to be produced. As a replacement for the construction models, Mack started to offer the Granite, Granite Bridge - Formula and Granite Axle - back. Also this model is serving in the Mexican Army as a Troop and Utility Truck in configuration 6X6 OR 6X4 Engines By 1916 Mack was producing 4 - and 6 - cylinder gasoline engines, and through 2014 continued to offer their own, in the form of three diesel V8s. Engines by other manufacturers were often optional, supplied over the years by Caterpillar, Cummins, Chrysler, Detroit Diesel, Hercules, Scania, and Waukesha. Mack started making diesels in 1938, in 1957 the END and turbocharged ENDT 673 diesel were introduced. This 672 cu in ( 11.0 L ) I6 engine family was successful, and remained in production for over 30 years. In the early 1960s, Mack Truck 's executive vice president of product and engineering, Walter May, developed the Maxidyne high - torque rise engine. The engine was introduced as an inline six in 1966, as a V8 in 1970, and as the intercooled inline six 300 series in 1973. This was an industry - changing event. The Maxidyne, with an operating range of 1200 -- 2100 R.P.M, and later 1050 -- 1700 R.P.M., allowed a heavy Class 8 truck to be operated with a 5 speed ( Maxitorque ) transmission. Previously, heavy trucks typically operated between 1800 - 2100R. P.M. and were equipped with 10 or more gears. In 2014 Mack offers three engine series, the 11 L MP 7, 13 L MP8, and 16 L MP10, with 325 hp ( 242 kW ) to 605 hp ( 451 kW ) and 1,200 lb ft ( 1,627 N m ) to 2,060 lb ft ( 2,793 N m ). Other products Mack also produced railroad cars and locomotives between 1905 and 1930. Trademark The company 's trademark is the bulldog, which can be found on the front of almost all Mack trucks. A gold - plated bulldog indicates the truck was made with a Mack produced drive train of engine, transmission and drive axles. A chrome bulldog indicates other manufacturers ' components were used. Mack trucks earned their nickname during World War I, when the British government purchased the Mack AC for supplying its front lines. Its pugnacious, blunt - nosed hood, tenacious performance, and durability, reminded the soldiers of their country 's mascot, the British Bulldog. The logo was first used in 1921 for the AB chain drive models and became the official corporate logo in 1922.

None were US Army standard types, all were designed and built exclusively by Mack. The EH series was a commercial design 5 ton ( 4,536 kg ) 4x2 adapted for military service. The EH, EHU ( cabover ) and semi-tractor models EHT and EHUT were used by the US Army in Europe. Over 2,400 were built in 1942. The LMSW was a commercial design 10 ton ( 9,072 kg ) 6x4 chassis adapted for military wreckers, most were exported to Great Britain. The NJU ( G - 639 ) series were military design 5 ton ( 5,443 kg ) 4x4 semi-tractors used to tow bridging pontoons and equipment. Several other manufactures built standardized models of similar trucks, so only 700 were produced in 1941 -- 1942. The NM ( G - 535 ) and NO ( G - 532 ) series were military design 6 ton ( 5,443 kg ) and 7 ⁄ ton ( 6,803 kg ) 6x6 artillery prime movers. All NMs and most of the larger NOs were exported as foreign aid. Over 8,400 NMs and 2,000 NOs were built between 1940 and 1944. The NR series were military design 10 ton ( 5,443 kg ) 6x4 cargo trucks. Intended for British use in North Africa, they had Mack ED diesel engines, making them valuable for long distance trips. Over 15,000 were built between 1940 -- 1944. Post World War II Since World War II, Mack has had limited military production. The M39 ( G - 744 ) series, which includes the M54 cargo truck, were a standardized military design 5 ton ( 4,536 kg ) 6x6 chassis, with many models. Mack developed a competing design, when the M39 was standardized Mack built a relatively small number of M51 dump trucks. In the early 1960s they took part in a short lived program to retrofit some of the series with Mack END 672 engines. The M123 and M125 ( G - 792 ) were standardized military design 10 ton ( 9,072 kg ) 6x6 semi tractors and artillery prime movers. Designed by Mack, using many components from the NO series. Mack built 392 M123s, used with a lowboy trailer to recover and transport tanks, and all 552 M125s, between 1955 and 1957. Later follow - up orders called for 420 M123s and retrofitted 210 more with Cummins engines.
