Mack Trucks improves driver comfort and productivity with Apple CarPlay for Mack® infotainment and updated Mack Premium Comfort 2.0 seats in Mack Anthem®, Pinnacle™, and Granite® models. Both new features are now available for order.
“Drivers are the single-most important part of any trucking operation, and any features that boost comfort and productivity are key to recruiting and retaining them,” says Stu Russoli, Mack highway product manager. “With Apple CarPlay and our new seats, we’re helping customers put the best trucks out there to attract the best drivers.”
Apple CarPlay provides drivers a safer, yet easier way to use their Apple iPhone and its capabilities while driving. Once connected, CarPlay displays key functions like navigation, phone controls, and music on the Mack infotainment system. Customers whose trucks are spec’d with the infotainment system can upgrade to CarPlay with a software update at their dealership.
Mack’s Premium Comfort 2.0 seats include revisions designed to maximize driver comfort. Resculpted and recontoured, the new seats provide additional back and shoulder support while maintaining air lumbar adjustments and available heat. Additionally, drivers can now appropriately position the seat armrest via a tuning wheel under the front of the armrest.
Apple CarPlay is available on all Mack Anthem, Pinnacle, and Granite models equipped with the Mack infotainment system. Mack Premium Comfort 2.0 seats are standard on all Anthem, Pinnacle, and Granite models for both the driver and passenger.
