The Fifth Generation Cascadia isn’t just updated, it’s re-engineered. Every improvement is designed to support safer driving, stronger uptime, and lower operating costs, giving fleets the tools they need to perform at their best.
Next-generation active safety systems designed to protect drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists in more real-world scenarios.
Connected intelligence that helps reduce downtime, improve visibility, and support smarter fleet decisions.
Advanced aerodynamics and integrated systems engineered to lower fuel consumption and operating costs.
The Fifth Generation Cascadia introduces Detroit Assurance® with Active Brake Assist 6, representing a major step forward in collision mitigation and driver support.
Alerts drivers to vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists in blind spots on both sides. At low speeds, Active Side Guard Assist can apply braking if corrective action isn’t taken, helping prevent right-turn incidents.
Includes Lane Change Assist, which actively steers the truck back into its lane if it attempts to enter an occupied lane at highway speeds. Attentive Driver Protection can safely bring the truck to a stop if the driver becomes unresponsive.
Features new radar, camera technology, and enhanced software to respond to a wider range of scenarios, including full braking on moving and stationary pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. Additional capabilities include braking in curves, multi-lane scenarios, and improved object classification.
Uses short-range radar to detect pedestrians and cyclists in front of the truck at low speeds or when stopped, providing visual and audible warnings.
The Fifth Generation Cascadia is equipped with intelligent business tools that help fleets stay connected, informed, and productive.
Provides real-time insight into vehicle performance and system health through a secure digital portal. Fleet managers can monitor diagnostics, receive alerts, establish geofencing, and remotely lock or unlock vehicles.
Over-the-air programming allows fleets to make up to 50 engine parameter changes remotely, reducing service interruptions and keeping trucks on the road.
The Fifth Generation Cascadia delivers efficiency through purposeful design. Advanced aerodynamic enhancements improve airflow, reduce drag, and boost fuel economy across long-haul and regional operations. Each exterior update supports performance while improving visibility, cooling, and serviceability, helping fleets lower operating costs without compromising durability.
Key exterior enhancements include the Max Aero Bumper, redesigned hood and grille, A-pillar deflectors, and wheel-well closeouts, all working together to streamline airflow and improve visibility.
Freightliner’s proprietary auxiliary HVAC system provides heating and cooling while the main engine is off. It operates through an automatic thermostat, is FET-exempt and CARB-certified, and runs solely on the auxiliary battery pack. Compatible with inverters and solar panels, it helps reduce idle time, fuel use, and emissions.
The interior of the Fifth Generation Cascadia is designed to help drivers stay comfortable, focused, and productive over long hours on the road. Thoughtful layout, intuitive controls, and flexible sleeper options work together to reduce fatigue and support better rest, without losing sight of performance and efficiency.
Inside the cab, drivers benefit from:
Every Fifth Generation Cascadia sold through New West Trucks is supported by its extensive network of Western Canadian locations, trained Cascadia technicians, and access to Genuine DTNA Parts, giving you confidence throughout ownership.
