Interior
SAFETY, FUNCTIONALITY AND COMFORT
During an average week, between driving, doing paperwork, eating, taking breaks, exercising and sleeping, drivers can spend more than 100 hours in the cab. The optimized Freightliner interior of the Cascadia was designed for drivers with this in mind.
THE 18-WHEEL CORNER OFFICE
Freightliner reimagined the Cascadia interior, starting with the dashboard, which features an all-new instrument cluster and automotive-style steering wheel controls and switch placement, to meet the driver needs.
Integrated Detroit Powertrain
