2026 FREIGHTLINER CASCADIA 116

CASCADIA 116 — FREIGHTLINER HIGHWAY TRUCKWhen we set out to develop the Fifth Generation Cascadia, we knew we couldn't do it alone. We needed insights and input from real drivers, fleet managers, and those looking for a competitive edge. Here’s to the Fifth Generation Cascadia. And here’s to those who helped drive the legacy of safety, profitability, and efficiency forward.DESIGNED FOR SUPERIOR PERFORMANCEThe Fifth Generation Cascadia redefines performance with state-of-the-art aerodynamic advancements. Every element is designed to enhance airflow, reduce drag, and improve fuel economy. From the Max Aero Bumper to the redesigned hood and A-pillar deflectors, the Cascadia is built to optimize performance while maximizing serviceability and visibility. With an updated grille for improved cooling and a sleek, durable design, the Cascadia offers a powerful combination of efficiency and a refined appearance.COMFORT FOR THE LONG HAULExperience the ultimate in driver comfort and functionality with the Cascadia’s thoughtfully designed interior. The customizable driver’s quarters offer multiple configurations, including the industry’s first telescoping ladder for easy access to the top sleeper. Enjoy enhanced comfort with modern seat upholstery options, advanced HVAC systems, and a standard Interactive Touchscreen Display that keeps you always informed and in control.SAFETY IN EVERY MILEExperience unmatched driver comfort and confidence with Freightliner’s advanced safety features and the Detroit Assurance® with ABA6 Suite of Safety Systems. From enhanced visibility to intelligent braking, these smart innovations are engineered to elevate driver safety and peace of mind for every mile ahead.MIRRORCAM SYSTEMFreightliner’s proprietary system, utilizing Stoneridge’s MirrorEye technology, uses external cameras and in-cab digital monitors to provide increased side visibility and safety. When integrated with Detroit Assurance, the factory-installed MirrorCam System improves driver visibility, minimizes driver fatigue, and contributes to a safer driving experience.INTELLIGENT BRAKING CONTROL SYSTEMThe advanced Intelligent Braking Control System brings together service brakes powered by brake-by-wire technology with pneumatic backup, resulting in smoother, more confident braking, especially in sudden stops. Deceleration with Comfort Braking provides equal brake force distribution, resulting in more even lining wear. Also included is the new electronic park brake, which helps to mitigate roll-away incidents and is automatically engaged if forgotten when the driver’s door is opened at two miles per hour or less, or when the ignition is keyed off and the driver leaves the driver seat for more than three seconds.LED HEADLIGHTSThe Dual Stage Intelligent LED Headlights increase visibility, providing 30% greater coverage than the previous model. They’re engineered to melt away ice in cold environments and eliminate condensation in minutes with no driver intervention required. Impact-resistance tested, these headlights also help improve safety, driver comfort, and uptime.BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE TOOLSMaximize your uptime and protect your bottom line with smart features that work for you. The Cascadia offers advanced business intelligence tools that enhance cybersecurity and connectivity. Designed to safeguard both your drivers and your business, these powerful features let fleet managers track and remotely lock or unlock vehicles, review diagnostics in real time, and so much more.ON-DEMAND INTELLIGENCEDetroit Connect® enhances fleet management with services that give you greater control and visibility to your assets wherever they may be. With the intuitive Detroit Connect Portal, the power to make quicker decisions, simplify maintenance, and protect your business are all at the press of a button.ABOVE AND BEYOND DRIVER SAFETYDetroit Connect Safety Event Viewer brings visibility of Detroit Assurance features to your fingertips, while Safety Plus goes beyond by providing real-time tracking of safety system health and can notify you via email when a safety system has been disabled by a driver.OPTIMIZED FLEET PERFORMANCEGet real-time insights and updates on your truck's operation and performance with secure, over-the-air programming capabilities and a cellular connection. Remote Updates enables fleets to make up to 50 engine parameter changes, keeping your truck – and your business – moving on the road ahead.UNMATCHED EFFICIENCY IN EVERY DETAILThe Freightliner Cascadia sets the standard for efficiency with its advanced aerodynamic design and integrated Detroit powertrain that optimize both fuel economy and performance. Streamlined components like the Max Aero Bumper, front wheel well closeouts, and updated hood work together to reduce drag and enhance driver visibility. And with a focus on fuel efficiency, the Cascadia offers cleaner-burning fuel options, including a Natural Gas model, to deliver both environmental benefits and significant fuel savings.SHAPED BY EXPERIENCECrafted for aerodynamic performance and max efficiency. Features like the Max Aero Bumper and front wheel well closeouts streamline airflow, reducing drag and boosting fuel efficiency. Updated hood styling and A-pillar deflectors enhance driver visibility.PARKED HVACFreightliner’s proprietary auxiliary HVAC solution provides cool or warm air while the main engine is off. It operates through an automatic thermostat to maintain desired temperatures and is both FET-exempt and California Air Resources Board-certified. Compatible with inverters and solar panels, it offers cost and operational advantages over traditional APUs by operating solely on the auxiliary battery pack, reducing main engine runtime and emissions.SUPERIOR EFFICIENCY WITH DETROIT COMPONENTSThese offerings feature the most fuel-efficient Detroit® DD13® and DD15® engines ever built, paired with Detroit DT12® transmissions and axles for optimal, efficient performance.CUT COSTS AND EMISSIONSCombining advanced aerodynamics with cleaner-burning fuel, the Natural Gas Cascadia powered by the Cummins X15N delivers near-zero emissions and greater fuel efficiency than ever before. As a cheaper alternative to diesel, you can also benefit from significant fuel cost savings.BUILDING YOUR BUSINESS STARTS HEREDesign your perfect truck tailored to meet your specific needs.
