For the 2018 model year, several Truck-Lite components will be standard on Freightliner’s flagship new Cascadia.
The 2018 Cascadia will feature Truck-Lite components for the main mirror located on the doors of the truck, the fender mirror on the hood of the truck, and an LED side lamp mounted on the front fender.
"Truck-Lite has been at the forefront of mirror system design and innovation, and we're pleased to continue our relationship with Daimler Trucks North America," said John Cecco, Truck-Lite vice president of sales. "Our safety and visibility systems are trusted by nearly all major manufacturers and will serve Freightliner and the new Cascadia very well."
Truck-Lite also recently announced that the company’s parts will be standard and optional equipment on International Truck’s 2018 LT Series.
