It was mentioned in an earlier post that these were being produced.
I saw a brief video of their show room during Spielewarenmesse 2025 that showed 6 versions of this truck on a bottom shelf. Three different colors of a stake bed and three colors of a box truck. They look to be 1/50 scale but I'm not sure.
I get the Conrad newsletter but there has been no mention of these in the recent issue.
Does anyone have any more information on these?

If you follow Conrad on Facebook, during December, 2024 they were showing daily stories to show the production process of these trucks almost like a advent calendar. I find it so strange to see Conrad doing Mack trucks because decades ago they illegally produced Mack trucks without a license. A lot of the models were seized by US Customs when they were imported in the states. Guess it is all water under the bridge now that Volvo owns Mack. Here is one of the stories from December that I took a screenshot of. If they are indeed 1/50th scale, they contain a lot of plastic parts. That is what led me to believe that these may be in a smaller scale.

Thank you for the information. I could not find anything currently on their Facebook page.
Maybe 1/64?

I found the calendar you mentioned. It does look like a lot of plastic. It looks like a release for Bauma 2025.

Better video of the Macks in the Display case at Conrad's Toyfair Show. They do appear to be 1/50th scale. May look into one of the stake bodies to replace my Athearn Ford C model stake body. https://www.facebook.com/drake.collectibles/videos/1114956020407180

In stock at the Mack Shop. Three colors, two different bodies to chose from. I don't see them here or at other retailers yet. Might be a Mack exclusive. https://mackshop.com/retailstore/black-mack-md-stake-truck.html

One of the German diecast retailers (MSW) had these available for pre-order (pics were taken from the cabinet at Conrad's open house) with an estimated delivery at the end of April. I will most like be buying the stake body version. This truck and chassis platform gives Conrad the perfect opportunity to produce a single axle water truck, a lot of rental houses around me run Mack MD6 water trucks. Doubt they will make one though.

I was at Conrad during their Toy fair open days and looked at these models. They are 1/50 scale. There are 6 in total, white red and black with vans and the same colours with trays and gates
