The Freightliner eCascadia was developed to support the evolving needs of fleet operators transitioning to zero-emission vehicles. “The Freightliner eCascadia is built with maximum productivity in mind for fleets switching to efficient, zero-emission vehicles,” said David Carson, senior vice president, sales and marketing for DTNA.
