SHARE April 21, 2021
In an effort to support customers in the western U.S. and Canada, as well as Mack’s battery-electric vehicle (BEV) training efforts for the Mack LR Electric, Mack Trucks announced that it is leasing space for a training facility in Hayward, California.
The Mack Trucks Academy will teach electromobility courses for dealer personnel, Mack employees, owner-operators and fleet customers, and will also offer training for diesel technicians, sales, and aftermarket personnel. Mack will initiate training at the Hayward facility June 1.
Located at 28702 Hall Road, Hayward, the Mack Trucks Academy offers courses 50 weeks of the year in its existing locations and will gradually build toward that in the 9,600 square-foot space leased by Mack and will feature the same training tools as found at the more than 425 Mack dealer locations throughout North America.
