6 Pillars Of Real Cost Of Ownership
To determine the Real Cost of Ownership for its on-highway trucks, Freightliner identified six main contributing factors for maximizing profitability: fuel efficiency, connectivity, safety, quality, uptime and driver experience.

Safety
The ultimate in driver safety and comfort on the road.

Fuel Efficiency
Building your bottom line begins with reducing how much you spend on fuel.

Connectivity
Increased return on investment, more uptime and ultra-safe operations.

Testing in Australia
The number one selling heavy-duty truck on the United States has arrived in Australia.
It is already great, but the unprecedented level of investment that we have and will continue to make in local engineering and testing will ensure the new Freightliner Cascadia is the best truck we have ever built for Australia. Validation testing has always been a critical and ongoing process. In connection with Daimler Trucks North America, we have built numerous prototypes to test new components and systems in Australia, while also simulating millions of road kilometres with cold chamber and hot room sessions to ensure effective operation in extreme temperature conditions.
