The Freightliner Cascadia is a heavy duty semi-trailer truck and the flagship model of Freightliner. Its design took fuel efficiency into greater consideration, and several other features including the powertrain offerings, sound mitigation, safety systems, and overall mechanical reliability were improved from its predecessors. It is offered in three basic configurations: Day Cab, Mid-Roof XT and Raised Roof. The latter two models are sleeper cabs, offered in various lengths ranging from 48 to 72 inches (Raised Roof models 60” or 72” lengths only). The Cascadia is sold chiefly in North America. Its place remains occupied by the Freightliner Century (no longer in US production) for export markets.
The Cascadia Evolution is a more fuel efficient version of the Cascadia, released in 2013 and equipped with the latest aerodynamic improvements of the time, as well as enhanced driver comfort and convenience features, such as a redesigned and easier to read instrument cluster, brand new seats with better back and lumbar support, ergonomically repositioned dashboard switches with larger, higher contrast text, and an available battery powered auxiliary HVAC system from Thermo King, designed to reduce overnight engine idling, both saving fuel and reducing noise while drivers are asleep.
