Fifth Generation Freightliner Cascadia
The Fifth Generation Cascadia
When we set out to develop the Fifth Generation Cascadia, we knew we couldn't do it alone. We needed insights and input from real drivers, fleet managers, and those looking for a competitive edge. Here’s to the Fifth Generation Cascadia. And here’s to those who helped drive the legacy of safety, profitability, and efficiency forward.
Exterior
Designed for Superior Performance
The Fifth Generation Cascadia redefines performance with state-of-the-art aerodynamic advancements. Every element is designed to enhance airflow, reduce drag, and improve fuel economy. From the Max Aero Bumper to the redesigned hood-mounted attachments and A-pillar deflectors, the Cascadia is built to optimize performance while maximizing serviceability and visibility. With an updated grille for improved cooling and a sleek, durable design, the Cascadia offers a powerful combination of efficiency and a refined fleet appearance.

MirrorCam System
Freightliner’s proprietary system, utilizing Stoneridge’s MirrorEye technology, uses external cameras and in-cab digital monitors to provide increased side visibility and safety. When integrated with Detroit Assurance, the factory-installed MirrorCam System improves driver visibility, minimizes driver fatigue, and contributes to a safer driving experience.
LED Headlights
The Dual Stage Intelligent LED Headlights increase visibility, providing 30% greater coverage than the previous model. They’re engineered to melt away ice in cold environments and eliminate condensation in minutes with no driver intervention required. Impact-resistance tested, these headlights also help improve safety, driver comfort, and uptime.
Interior
Comfort for the Long Haul
Experience the ultimate in driver comfort and functionality with the Cascadia’s thoughtfully designed interior. The customizable driver’s quarters offer multiple configurations, including the industry’s first telescoping ladder for easy access to the top sleeper. Enjoy enhanced comfort with modern seat upholstery options, advanced HVAC systems, and a standard Interactive Touchscreen Display that keeps you always informed and in control.
Unmatched Efficiency in Every Detail
The Freightliner Cascadia sets the standard for efficiency with its advanced aerodynamic design and integrated Detroit powertrain that optimize both fuel economy and performance. Streamlined components like the Max Aero Bumper, front wheel well closeouts, and updated hood work together to reduce drag and enhance driver visibility. And with a focus on fuel efficiency, the Cascadia offers cleaner-burning fuel options, including a Natural Gas model, to deliver both environmental benefits and significant fuel savings.
Shaped by Experience
Crafted for aerodynamic performance and max efficiency. Features like the Max Aero Bumper and front wheel well closeouts streamline airflow, reducing drag and boosting fuel efficiency. Updated hood styling and A-pillar deflectors enhance driver visibility.
Parked HVAC
Freightliner’s proprietary auxiliary HVAC solution provides cool or warm air while the main engine is off. It operates through an automatic thermostat to maintain desired temperatures and is both FET-exempt and California Air Resources Board-certified. Compatible with inverters and solar panels, it offers cost and operational advantages over traditional APUs by operating solely on the auxiliary battery pack, reducing main engine runtime and emissions.
Superior Efficiency with Detroit Components
These offerings feature the most fuel-efficient Detroit® DD13® and DD15® engines ever built, paired with Detroit DT12® transmissions and axles for optimal, efficient performance.
Cut Costs and Emissions
Combining advanced aerodynamics with cleaner-burning fuel, the Natural Gas Cascadia® powered by the Cummins X15N delivers near-zero emissions and greater fuel efficiency than ever before. As a cheaper alternative to diesel, you can also benefit from significant fuel cost savings.
