Tall and stylish, quiet and comfortable, the Magnum cab offers a trip to the top end of the luxury scale.
With the 1999 Qantum, Mack Trucks Australia has addressed the power challenge by putting their E-Tech engine under the cab, making it an even more potent combination in the single trailer COE market, and now with the versatility to couple with B-Double trailers.
Mack Trucks Australia Pty. Ltd. (MTA) today announced that Gordon Hellowell has been named Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 July, 1999.
