Genuine B-double Prime Mover

With the specification of the Freightliner Cascadia 126 36, the brand have brought a truck which is a genuine B-double prime mover with no compromises involved. In the specification driven for this truck test, the Freightliner Cascadia 126 is fitted with the 36” XT sleeper cab and, correctly coupled, this prime mover can pull 34 pallet B-double curtainsider set and stay in side the 26 metre envelope. The arguments for a conventional B-double prime mover have always been the same. With the driver sitting further back from the front wheels there is less of a tendency for the prime mover to ‘nod’ out on the highway when its under power and working hard. Alongside precise dimensions, the other deciding factor in the choice of B-double prime mover is the power and torque available to the truck.
