“We are excited to integrate the Mack MD Electric into our fleet,” Taki Darakos, VP of vehicle maintenance at Pitt Ohio, said. “While we have successfully implemented electrification at other sites, we are particularly excited to share this technology with our home community, where our company is headquartered. This addition reflects our dedication to sustainable logistics and our proactive approach to adopting technologies that benefit both our customers and the environment.”

- Body size: 26-ft. non-CDL box truck
- Horsepower: 260 hp (peak) / 185 hp (continuous)

We look forward to our continued partnership with Pitt Ohio in its electrification journey."
