Cascadia With Even More Gadgets

Down the track there’s going to be iterations of the Cascadia with even more gadgets, which embrace more technology and models developed to suit market niches. It will pick up a lot more from the Daimler family, equipment now available from the Mercedes Benz range. Benz will always be the first to adopt any new systems, the American conservatism will see Freightliner running behind. The Cascadia does tap into a long held preference for a conventional truck in Australia, but the Europeans have been going forward with great strides meeting the needs of the B-double operator. This 126 Cascadia does fit the bill for a prime mover in front of a 34 pallet B-double set, but in getting into the envelope it does end up with a bunk of similar size to the European competition.
