Freightliner announced ordering is now available for its Fifth Generation Freightliner Cascadia tractor.
The new truck continues the legacy of the industry’s most popular Class 8 truck, setting new standards in safety, efficiency and profitability, the OEM said in a statement.
“The Freightliner Cascadia has earned its place as the preferred truck for customers of all sizes because of its ability to meet operational needs - safely, efficiently and profitably,” said David Carson, senior vice president, sales and marketing, DTNA. “We’re honored to offer the successor to that legacy with the Fifth Generation, and we’re excited to begin customer deliveries in the coming months. My sincere gratitude to all the DTNA employees who have worked to bring the future forward and here's to those customers who are ready for what's next.”
Notable enhancements to the newest Cascadia include the latest generation of the Detroit Assurance suite of safety systems with Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA6), refined aerodynamic improvements and all-new business intelligence tools to maximize profitability.
Detroit Assurance with ABA6 introduces new capabilities to add automatic braking in more scenarios for enhanced collision avoidance assistance.
New, streamlined components like the Max Aero Bumper, front wheel well closeouts, and a redesigned hood work together to reduce drag and improve efficiency.
An updated technology platform allows real-time tracking of trucks, adds the ability to remotely lock and unlock vehicles, and allows you to create custom zones, or geofences, over a desired geographic area.
Orders for the Fifth Generation Cascadia can be placed at the more than 380 full-service Freightliner dealers across the U.S. and Canada.
To support trucks on the road, the 11 parts distribution centers in the DTNA network stock over 175,000 parts, from more than 1,800 suppliers for fast delivery and maximum uptime when maintenance is required.
