Freightliner Gets There with Cleaner Air

Freightliner Trucks is committed to finding ways to Run Smart. And so we’re proud to be a part of EPA’s SmartWay program. We designed the new Cascadia from the ground up to be the most aerodynamic truck on the road, which leads to lower fuel costs.

Freightliner’s SmartWay Trucks

Working together with the EPA, we made sure three of our trucks — Cascadia, Century and Columbia — all met the voluntary specifications to carry the EPA SmartWay logo.

EPA SmartWay Specifications

By meeting or exceeding the following specs, the EPA estimates carriers can slash their fuel consumption by 10 to 20 percent!

  • Model Year 2007 or later engine (such as the DD15 or the Series 60 from Detroit Diesel)
  • Integrated cab–high roof fairing
  • Tractor–mounted side fairing gap reducers
  • Tractor fuel–tank side fairings
  • Aerodynamic bumper and mirrors
  • Options for reducing periods of extended engine idling (auxiliary power unit, generator set, direct fired heater, battery powered HVAC system, and automatic engine start/stop system)
  • Options for low–rolling resistance tires (single wide or dual)
