Mack Trucks announced that Vanguard Truck Centers recently achieved Certified Electric Vehicle (EV) status at several of its locations, including in Phoenix, making it the first Mack Certified EV Dealer in Arizona.
Vanguard locations in Austin and Houston, Texas are also certified. This certification enables Vanguard to service and support the Mack LR Electric refuse truck, Mack’s first fully electric Class 8 vehicle and Mack MD Electric medium-duty vehicle.
Two EV-certified technicians have been appointed for each of Vanguard’s three newly certified locations to service and maintain Mack LR Electric and Mack MD Electric vehicles. Vanguard converted one service bay per location to be dedicated to battery-electric vehicles. The Austin location offers $1.4 million in parts inventory and dealerships in Phoenix and Houston each offer $3 million in parts inventory.
Vanguard Truck Center’s Austin dealership financed a portable charger with Mack Financial Services to help support their customer’s journey toward electrification.
