Freightliner Trucks’ Business Class® M2 112, 114SD, Cascadia® day cabs can be specified to utilize natural gas, one of the most abundant, efficient and clean-burning fuels on earth. Available with liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel tanks, our natural gas trucks and tractors are designed for high performance in a broad range of applications.
Switching to natural gas can lead to significant fuel cost savings. As the cost of diesel continues to rise, lower cost natural gas fuel prices remain relatively stable — and considerably less expensive — making it an economical choice. As part of Daimler AG’s Shaping Future Transportation initiative, which strives to dramatically reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in commercial vehicles of all classes, Freightliner Trucks offers one of the only conventional natural gas truck solutions in the industry. These versatile, hardworking trucks are ideal for regional haul, plus municipal and vocational applications, including utility, construction, refuse, and food & beverage, and pickup & delivery.
With production starting in Q4 2013, the Freightliner Cascadia 113 tractor with natural gas will offer all the benefits that Freightliner’s customers value in the top-selling tractor, while incorporating the clean-engine technology of the new Cummins Westport ISX12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine. An increased variety of available CNG and LNG fuel tank options will allow for increased range over other product offerings.
Designed for a wide variety of uses, the Freightliner M2 112 line of natural gas trucks and tractors offers unparalleled benefits that help businesses increase productivity, performance, and profitability. More than just a hard-working vehicle, the M2 112 Natural Gas is a clear business advantage.
Freightliner’s versatile severe-duty truck, the 114SD NG combines the performance features of the diesel-powered 114SD with the benefits of a Cummins Westport ISL G 8.9 natural gas engine.
