TruckTraining free with every Freightliner Cascadia

Freightliner customers can now enjoy complimentary TruckTraining product training with every Cascadia model sold.

The program is delivered by the same team which provides training for Mercedes-Benz trucks and select Fuso models.

The Freightliner Cascadia introduced new technology into the conventional truck class in Australia in 2019, including a raft of features to help customers save fuel and improve their bottom line.

TruckTraining is not designed to teach customers how to drive a truck, but instead help them save fuel and reduce fatigue as well as experiencing new technical features such as the Intelligent Powertrain Management (IPM) which enables the truck to read topographic route data and its precise GPS location to maximise fuel economy.

“Anyone can step into a Cascadia and get good fuel economy, but to get really great fuel economy it pays to understand some of the features that really help save those extra litres,” said Mercedes-Benz Trucks Head of National Truck Sales in Australia, Gary Parker.

“The Cascadia is not a traditional American truck. You don’t need to rev it hard. You can let the torque do the work, which means the truck will accelerate better and save fuel at the same time.”

The Cascadia is available with 13 and 16-litre Detroit engines with the choice of manual or AMT gearboxes.

Freightliner TruckTraining is available to single operators and fleets across Australia. Training programs can be tailored for specific fleets for maximum effectiveness.
