Freightliner Cascadia Evolution
Innovation is Everywhere
The Cascadia Evolution represents tremendous achievements by Freightliner and Detroit engineers. It’s a powerful performer. It makes a positive impact on your bottom line. And from the grille to the tail lights, it offers an impressive variety of innovative technologies.
Drive Into The Future
The Cascadia Evolution is designed and built to our rigid efficiency standards. It’s durable and dependable. And to help fleets maximize uptime and profitability, we also offer innovative new tools to generate more and more value over time.
Steady Performance
Crosswinds can make driving difficult and reduce fuel economy. But with the Cascadia Evolution, you’ll have a distinct advantage. The as-standard side extenders and chassis fairings enable the truck to perform extremely well in crosswind conditions, improving airflow and increasing fuel efficiency.
An Evolved Engine
Freightliner Trucks and Detroit engineers work together to continuously improve performance and efficiency. The Detroit™ DD15® engine is an industry leader, helping make the original Cascadia model a top performer. And now, our engineers have pushed the envelope of efficiency even further.
The Cascadia Evolution is powered exclusively by the newly designed Detroit DD15 engine. It includes a proprietary asymmetric turbocharger, improved engine electronics, next-generation ACRS™ fuel system, new piston design, variable speed water pump and more. It also utilizes BlueTec® SCR emissions technology, which meets EPA clean air requirements. As a result, you can expect better fuel economy than ever before.
Intelligent Diagnostics
The state-of-the-art, dual-functioning electrical system on the Freightliner Cascadia Evolution blends diagnostic tools with the best of traditional systems. Just like the original Cascadia system, this evolutionary design allows any technician to access diagnostics, such as engine and transmission Electronic Control Units (ECUs), with ease. It’s an intelligent design that slashes downtime and repair costs.
Flexible Electrical System
Want the brake lights to come on whenever the engine brake is in use? In the past, that meant hard-wiring. But a flexible electrical system allows dealer or fleet technicians to set this and many other options to inexpensively customize the Cascadia Evolution.
Quick-to-Service Ingenuity
On the Cascadia Evolution, the hood opens effortlessly and wide for fast engine access. The standard roped-in windshield can be quickly replaced. And, with the three-piece design of both the bumper and hood, road debris, dents and dings are easily repaired. If only one part needs to be replaced or painted, that reduces labor costs and downtime. Since chassis side fairings have smaller sacrificial parts, quick release hinges, and are available in mold-in color, fairing repair and replacement is less expensive and easy.

Quiet Cab for Increased Comfort
The sound engineers of the original Cascadia set a goal and reached it: minimize the noise that enters the cab. They measured in-cab noise while the engine roared. They isolated and stopped wind noise during testing in Daimler Trucks North America’s revolutionary wind tunnel. They gridded off the entire interior and listened to every square inch with electronic sonar technology to track down and silence all the squeaks, rattles, hums and noises. The result: a quiet truck that reduces audible vibration frequency by 50 percent and significantly reduces driver stress and fatigue. The cab of the Cascadia Evolution is no different.
Better Sleep for Safer Roads
Whether behind the wheel driving or resting while a partner drives, safety is the top priority of Freightliner Trucks. Studies have shown the louder the cab, the worse a driver sleeps. This leads to slower reaction time on the road. The stiff, curved cab walls of the original Cascadia are also found in the Cascadia Evolution. These walls reduce vibration noise, and a thick blanket of noise-dampening insulation covers everything inside the cab. So behind the wheel or asleep in the bunk, the Evolution cab—with a high level of insulation as standard—is quiet for reduced driver fatigue, improved sleep and, ultimately, safer roads.
