Mack Trucks has added 12 new Certified Electric Vehicle (EV) dealer locations to their service network, wtih eight in the U.S. and four in Canada. This increases the number of dealers that can provide EV sales and service support to 65 total.

"The continued expansion of our certified EV dealership network demonstrates our commitment, and our dealers’ commitment, to a sustainable future," said Jonathan Randall, president of Mack Trucks North America.
