After logging over a million test miles and proving itself in real-world fleet operations, the series-production eCascadia from Freightliner has officially launched. Built upon the design of North America’s best-selling heavy-duty diesel truck, the eCascadia represents a significant leap forward in zero-emissions transport. Its design prioritizes efficiency, reliability, and uptime, ensuring businesses can confidently integrate this electric semi into their operations without sacrificing performance. The eCascadia stands as a powerful choice for fleets looking to reduce emissions while maintaining the quality and durability that Freightliner is known for.

Safety remains paramount in the eCascadia, equipped with Detroit Assurance, the leading active safety suite for Class 8 trucks. Features like Active Lane Assist and Active Side Guard Assist offer advanced protections for drivers and pedestrians alike. Active Lane Assist improves steering control and comfort and autonomously helps the truck stay centered within its lane. The eCascadia is also the first electric truck with Active Side Guard Assist, an industry-first that adds an extra layer of safety by automatically preventing right turns when cyclists or pedestrians are detected, enhancing safety in urban environments.

Powering the eCascadia is a suite of Detroit technology, including Detroit eFill for streamlined, fast charging and Detroit Connect, which offers a 360-degree view of fleet operations. New design details like dual-port charging, which enables an 80% charge in 90 minutes, an optimized grille for improved aerodynamics, and side-impact protection panels add to its operational efficiency. Combined with the expert support of Detroit eConsulting, Freightliner makes it easy for fleets to transition into electric operations, backed by the largest service network in North America. With the eCascadia, Freightliner provides a truck and a forward-looking approach to fleet electrification.
