THE START FOR FREIGHTLINER’S CASCADIA IN AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN AT BEST A GENTLY PACED ONE, AT LEAST NOT WHAT ANY PUNDITS BELIEVED WOULD PAN OUT FOR THE USA’S TOP SELLING PRIME MOVER. WITH ALL OF THE CHALLENGES, DAIMLER TRUCK BOSSES HAVE TAKEN A STEADY APPROACH AND BELIEVE THAT EVIDENCE OF IT’S STRONG FUEL ECONOMY, ALONG WITH A CHANGE IN THE WAY THE INDUSTRY IS REGARDING FREIGHTLINER AND A FREEING UP OF SUPPLY WILL HELP DELIVER A BIG BOOST FOR THE BRAND IN 2022 AND BEYOND. WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHY THE CASCADIA HAS SEEN A CAUTIOUS START AND AT ONE OPERATOR WHO RECKONS IT’S THE MOST ECONOMICAL BONNETED TRUCK HE HAS EVER RUN.
