Mack Trucks says it’s marking Earth Day by showcasing its environmental initiatives on the web.

The Lehigh Valley, PA-based trucking company recently launched a new website highlighting the environmental aspects of its truck products and improvements in environmental performance.

“Being ‘green’ is a consideration in everything we do,” said Dennis Slagle, Mack president and CEO. “We’ve made significant advancements in our products and operations from an environmental standpoint.”

“This new website is a great way to share what we’re doing with our customers, employees, public officials and neighbors in this community,” Slagle added.

Slagle noted that the site gives visitors the ability to search for information about environmental activities and achievements at specific Mack facilities in North America.

“For example, visitors can learn that the water saved each year from the New River Valley plant’s conservation efforts is enough to fill 15 Olympic-sized swimming pools, and that the Mack Remanufacturing Center in Middletown, PA recycles more than 95 percent of its waste,” he said.

Other features of the new website include an Emissions Calculator function that allows visitors to compare new Mack engines and truck models to their predecessors, information on Mack’s efforts in support of the environment, such as local environmental projects, and various awards and recognition the company has received for its environmental activities.
