Freightliner Cascadia
Here to Get the Job Done
The Cascadia® is one of the most thoroughly tested and refined Freightliner trucks ever. From bumper to back of cab, its graceful, windswept lines produce the lowest drag coefficient of any Freightliner model yet. Add to that a fuel-efficient engine, and you can count on maximized efficiency, lower operating costs and higher profits. Job well done!
High Performance Anywhere
With every element designed and manufactured to optimize performance, reliability and durability, the Cummins® ISX15 EPA 2010 engine is a totally integrated system with near-zero emissions and uncompromised performance.
Reduce Clutch Effort
Changing gears shouldn't be a workout. With the Cascadia's hydraulic clutch system the clutch pedal is easier to engage, reducing driver fatigue. And without the noisy mechanical linkages, the cab is quieter and requires less downtime to fine-tune the system.
Calm, Cool and Collected
The Cascadia's radiator/fan is mounted to the engine producing less vibration, which equates to greater reliability. The improved fan shroud packaging allows better air flow and reduces stress to the radiator since it's no longer subject to frame twist and vibration. A large, 1625 square-inch radiator comes standard. For engines over 500 horsepower, upgrade to a 1750 square-inch radiator and get even more cooling power.
Intelligent Diagnostics
The state-of-the-art, dual-functioning electrical system on the Freightliner Cascadia blends new diagnostic tools with the best of traditional systems. 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.
The Power of Efficient Performance
The Freightliner Cascadia and the Detroit DD15® engine were designed to work together, reaching 90% peak torque in just 1.5 seconds. BlueTec® SCR emissions technology, standard with the DD13®, DD15® and DD16 and DD16 engines, provides greater fuel economy (up to 5%* for the DD13 and DD15) and extended regeneration intervals to boost engine longevity. Plus, with near-zero emissions, SCR is the first and only technology that is as good for the environment as it is for business and vehicle performance.
The Freightliner Cascadia is also available with the new Cummins ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine. It operates on either compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) and features: 400 hp and 1,450 lb-ft torque, optional engine brake, and manual or automatic transmission.
Quick-to-Service Ingenuity
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. Only one part needs to be replaced or painted, which reduces labor costs. 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.

The Best Seat on the Road
Drivers come in all shapes and sizes. The seats of the Cascadia are two inches wider, taller and longer than most in the industry, for a perfect fit. Optional features include a seat-heater, swivel and three way bolster, and a tilting, telescoping steering wheel for the right fit behind the wheel. Because a comfortable driver is a productive driver.
Quiet Cab for Increased Comfort
The sound engineers of the 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.
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 Cascadia 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 cab—with a high level of insulation as standard—is quiet for reduced driver fatigue, improved sleep and, ultimately, safer roads.
