“The M917A3 is a great example of the capabilities Mack Defense has to develop solutions for military customers,” said David Hartzell, president of Mack Defense. “Using the rugged Mack Granite as a foundation, we were able to engineer the M917A3 to meet the U.S. Army’s challenging applications.”
Mack Defense, part of the Volvo Group, has been awarded a contract from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) to supply Mack heavy-duty trucks, including those that run on natural gas.
