Daimler Announces eCascadia Battery Electric Freightliner

Now that’s a big electric vehicle.

Last month, Daimler Trucks North America announced that it built two battery electric Freightliner eCascadias at its Portland-based research and development center. They are “Class 8” trucks, which means they are big haulers.

The trucks will serve as kind of a pilot program to see how battery electric trucks can fit in to large-scale fleet operations. Feedback from users will help develop future versions of the eCascadia and other electric trucks. Read more on Daimler’s website!
