An armoured cab was also engineered, utilising the comfort features and amenities of a commercial truck, while adding force protection to help keep occupants safe in hostile environments.
Mack Defense engineers increased the suspension's ride height to create a heavy dump truck capable of meeting the payload and mobility requirements set by the US Army HDT programme, according to the company.
The M917A3s are powered by 13-litre Mack MP8 engines, delivering 440hp and 1,660lb.-ft. of torque.
Both vehicle types are made at the Mack Experience Center (MEC) in Allentown, where production began in Q1 2021 following an investment of $6.5 million to create a dedicated HDT production line at the facility.
