Get a close-up view of a cut-away mammoth Mack diesel engine.
See the high tech, precision components that help drive today's

Today, each new Volvo and Mack engine has a computer with
four times the brain capacity of the Apollo spaceship used
to go to the moon.
The giant golden Mack Bulldog that once welcomed visitors
and officials to the Mack Engine and Transmission Plant in
Hagerstown is now on display at Discovery Station.
For over eighty years, the Bulldog has
been one of the most recognized corporate
symbols in America, signifying the durability
of Mack trucks, which are often referred to as "the
truck that built America."
The truck industry plays an important role in our community
and the global world. Discovery Station and the Volvo Powertrain
Division are setting the wheels in motion for a
future Volvo sponsored exhibit that will feature the technology
and assembly processes involved in engine and transmission
manufacturing, and the history of Mack Trucks' role in the
local economy.
