Mack lights up the Granite THE DISTINCTIVE APPEAR ANCE OF THE MACK Granite has been given an exterior makeover. The updated Granite for the North America market debuted at World of Concrete 2023 trade show held at the Las Vegas Convention Centre in January. The refresh features an updated grille and air intakes along with selfheating LED headlamps that offer brighter illumination, improving forward visibility by up to 29% and peripheral visibility by up to 50%. A choice of two grille finishes allows customisation of the Granite. The standard grille has blacked-out cross bars surrounding the chrome Mack badge with the optional grille being all chrome. The self-heating LED headlights have integrated heating elements which automatically sense the ambient temperature and turn on to keep ice and snow from building up in colder environments. An anti-fog coating also prevents condensation in warmer, humid environments to improve visibility. The new LED technology is designed to fully illuminate the road and jobsite, including the driver- and passenger-sides of the vehicle, to reduce eye fatigue, while letting operators detect objects sooner. Safety is also improved during daylight driving through new, integrated amber daytime running lights that double as turn signals, making the truck more visible to oncoming traffic and on the jobsite. The LED headlights are designed to be long-lasting with high-impact
