Freightliner Trucks has announced that it has begun production on the new 2018 Cascadia. The new Cascadia (equipped with AeroX and Integrated Detroit Powertrain (IDP) includes a GHG17 Detroit DD15 engine, DT12 with Intelligent Powertrain Management (IPM4) and 2.16 direct drive axle ratio) boasts up to an 8% fuel economy increase over a similarly spec’d 2016 Cascadia Evolution, according to the company. Freightliner debuted the new Cascadia in September 2016 and production of the 126-in. BBC Day Cab and 72-in. raised roof sleeper cab models has begun.

“It’s exciting to see trucks rolling off the assembly line and being delivered to customers. The new Cascadia delivers fuel efficiency, connectivity, safety, quality and a premium driver experience for our customers,” said Kary Schaefer, general manager of marketing and strategy for Daimler Trucks North America.

The latest data from FTR shows that October U.S. trailer net orders rose by more than 6,000 units month-over-month (about 21%) to nearly 34,400 units. Orders were down just over 21% year-over-year but were at their highest level since December 2022. Orders over the last 12 months totaled 294,000 units. Build improved 4% m/m in October but lagged net orders, so backlogs rose for only the second time in 2023. September had been the first month of the year to see an increase in backlogs, FTR noted.
