The truck is based on a production battery electric Freightliner eCascadia and is equipped with Torc's autonomous driving software and the latest Level 4 sensor and compute technology. This will eventually enable Level 4 autonomous driving.

Since its introduction in 2007, the Cascadia has improved its fuel efficiency by more than 35 percent. In addition, the battery electric Freightliner eCascadia, which launched in 2022, has today driven over 6 million miles with customers across more than 50 fleets in the U.S.

The two Freightliner eM2 Class 7 trucks indeed complement the company's existing fleet, as the battery-electric eM2 trucks with 26-foot-long box bodies will operate out of PITT OHIO's Cleveland, Ohio terminal and support the company's Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight shipping business.

The BEV Dealer Certification Program, which covers over 75 specific criteria in four key areas, which are: Safety, Charging infrastructure, Dealership infrastructure and Training. Eight dealerships have already completed the rigorous certification and the number is doubling in the coming weeks.

The eCascadia offers various battery and drive axle options, delivering a typical range of 155, 220, or 230 miles, depending on the specific setup. The multiple configurations offered are ideal for short and regional haul routes that involve depot-based charging.

The eM2 is built on the well-established Freightliner M2 106 Plus platform and follows the introduction of the battery electric Freightliner eCascadia in 2022, thereby extending CO2-neutral transportation to the medium-duty segment.

These trucks are now the longest-range commercial battery electric vehicles in customer hands in that area. With the opening of the order books to customers, Freightliner and DTNA are getting ready for start of production in late 2022.
