HERE’S TO THOSE

READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT

A-PILLAR DEFLECTOR

The redesigned A-pillar deflector is now longer and flares at the bottom, redirecting air and water around the side window and mirror. This reduces the air vortex around the windows, increasing aerodynamic efficiency, improving fuel economy, and enhancing visibility in rainy conditions.

SLEEK AERODYNAMIC HOOD

The Cascadia’s hood features styling lines that further reduce aerodynamic drag while maintaining great visibility for the driver. The perfect combination of safety and efficiency.

FRONT WHEEL WELL CLOSEOUTS

The three-piece composite closeout system includes a hood-mounted attachment alongside bumper and chassis fairing-mounted pieces that optimize airflow to reduce tire wake and minimize drag.

ENHANCED AERODYNAMIC DESIGN

EFFICIENCY IN EVERY DETAIL.

How do you improve on a truck that has already increased fuel efficiency by over 35% since its inception? By focusing on even the smallest details, which add up to 1.9% more fuel efficiency on the Fifth Generation, lowering costs for our customers with every turn of the wheel.

THE FREIGHTLINER CASCADIA HAS CONSISTENTLY BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT

of innovation, leading the way in every aspect of the trucking industry. Since 2007, more than one million Cascadias have been sold, making it the most driven Class 8 truck on North American roads.

Now, we’re proud to introduce the Fifth Generation Cascadia, a truck that builds on its legacy while setting new standards for safety, efficiency, and profitability.

The Fifth Generation Cascadia offers advanced safety features, improved aerodynamics, and business intelligence tools designed to enhance profitability. By listening to our customers and understanding what drivers and fleet managers need, we’ve crafted a truck that meets the demands of today and prepares fleets for tomorrow.

MAX AERO BUMPER*

The newly redesigned Max Aero Bumper improves fuel efficiency and durability and reduces drag with features like the enhanced air tab, air dam, and newly added bumper air ducts. The air ducts guide airflow from the front of the truck around the tires to minimize drag, while the larger one-inch air tab prevents airflow under the truck.

ADVANCED SAFETY SYSTEMS

FOR PEACE OF MIND, MILE AFTER MILE.

DETROIT ASSURANCE® WITH ABA6 SUITE OF SAFETY SYSTEMS

Experience advanced safety systems that prioritize road safety like never before.

Using state-of-the-art fused camera and radar technology, the truck’s surroundings are monitored up to 270 degrees, tracking vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians more than 14 times per second.

With Detroit Assurance, safety is built in, so you can focus on delivering on time with confidence.

ACTIVE BRAKE ASSIST 6 (ABA6)

Enhanced automatic emergency braking now provides collision mitigation in more scenarios.

DUAL-STAGE INTELLIGENT LED HEADLIGHTS

• � Deicing capabilities in cold weather and defogging in warm weather without driver intervention.

customer costs.

• Impact-resistant design, meaning fewer headlight replacements.

ALSO NEW FROM DETROIT ASSURANCE

ACTIVE LANE ASSIST 2* (ALA2)

•� � Provides advanced driver assistance to help keep the truck centered in its lane using a forward-facing camera and electric steering motor.

•� � Assists in mitigating out-of-lane accidents through continuous lane monitoring.

•� �� Lane Change Assist enhances safety by providing corrective steering during high-speed lane changes into occupied lanes, helping to avoid accidents.

•� �� The twin servo steer motor that enables ALA2 features provides the added benefit of making low-speed maneuvers easier for the driver.

ABA6 can now detect vehicles in adjacent lanes. ABA6 allows the truck to respond if the driver swerves into those lanes at the last moment to avoid a collision in their current lane.

ABA6’s expanded field of detection allows the system to detect vehicles in curves and issue warnings or automated emergency braking on them.

ABA6 now has the capability to recognize and respond to offset vehicles and those positioned at an angle, which is commonly seen in situations following an accident ahead.

* Optional feature

ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES FOR CASCADIA:

MIRRORCAM SYSTEM*

• � Utilizes external cameras and in-cab digital monitors to enhance side and rearward visibility.

the trailer and avoid obstacles that can’t be seen with traditional mirrors.

• �� With infrared technology and hydrophobic coating, MirrorCam improves outward visibility, particularly at night and in adverse weather conditions.

SIDE GUARD ASSIST 2 (SGA2)

• � Now identifies and warns the driver if a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist is on either the driver or passenger side of the truck. Detects objects, pedestrians and bicyclists in the truck’s blind spot, providing warnings to prevent collisions.

• � Updates to provide visual and audible warnings if there’s a danger of making contact with moving or stationary objects or pedestrians.

• Enhances driver awareness and safety.

ACTIVE SIDE GUARD ASSIST* (ASGA)

• � Builds on SGA2 by including active braking on the passenger side to help prevent right turns into moving cyclists or pedestrians.

ATTENTIVE DRIVER PROTECTION*

• � Included with the features of ALA2, when LKA is on and active, Attentive Driver Protection monitors the steering wheel to determine if a driver is still providing input.

• � Notifies the driver if hands are off the steering wheel for more than 60 seconds with increasing audible and visual alerts to return their attention to the road.

• � If the driver does not respond, the truck will slow to a stop, engage hazard lights and unlock the doors.

INTELLIGENT BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEM

A BRAKING SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR SMARTER, SAFER DRIVING.

The Intelligent Braking Control System introduces brake-by-wire technology with full pneumatic back-up that allows the air sent to each wheel end to be precisely and independently controlled. The system introduces an electronic park brake, which helps prevent rollaway incidents and costly damage. Combined with enhanced service braking, the Intelligent Braking Control System maximizes brake efficiency, extending brake life and cutting maintenance costs to keep you on the road longer.

ELECTRONIC PARK BRAKE

• � Enables Rollaway Mitigation - if a driver forgets to set the parking brake when leaving the seat (either exiting the cab or heading into the sleeper) the system automatically sets the parking brakes, preventing costly rollaway damage.

• � The air valves have been replaced with an electronically controlled push-button system that enhances the driver experience by providing an easy-to-engage parking brake, protecting drivers’ hands and wrists.

ENHANCED SERVICE BRAKING

• �� This system introduces Endurance Braking, which seamlessly blends service brakes and the engine retarder when the driver engages the brake pedal. This feature reduces brake pad wear, extending the life of the brakes.

• � Comfort Braking provides the driver with a smoother braking experience by evenly applying brake pressure distribution, decreasing lining wear and improving driver comfort on the road.

• � Brake pedals that rely on valves require the pedal position to be all the way on the floor for maximum brake force. With the included

Brake Assist feature, the Intelligent Braking Control System monitors the pressure applied to the pedal and responds accordingly to allow maximum braking as soon as the driver requests it, reducing effort and leaving drivers feeling more energized at the end of a shift.

• � Integrated with a brake temperature warning system that monitors and provides feedback to the driver on the temperature of the brakes.

this intelligent system maximizes brake efficiency, extending brake life and cutting maintenance costs to keep you on the road longer.

HERE’S TO THOSE LEADING THE WAY.
