Freightliner Innovation Truck

Freightliner Innovation Truck may as well be a truck straight from the movie screens. Thanks to Daimler Trucks North America this gigantic truck managed to startle spectators during the Mid-America Trucking Show making the show an exciting one. This black truck is not Darth Vader in disguise but it is a product of the Cascadia aerodynamic solution. And despite its size and imposing look this truck is fuel efficient.
Equipped with the RunSmart Predictive Cruise system, the Freightliner Innovation Truck is able to evaluate the road being taken by the driver and it automatically calculates the most efficient speed vis a vis the fuel consumption. It is almost magical with the Dual Ride Height system which allows the tractor’s height to be lowered at highway speeds to pave the way for reduced under chassis drag.
The Freightliner Innovation Truck is the product of cutting edge technology that Daimler boasts of. Daimler Trucks North America Engineering and technology senior vice president Elmar Boeckenhoff said this kind of technology can be expected from the auto manufacturer in the near future.

  7. secondly,the advantage of an electrically-driven HVAC system is that shore power extends operating time while eliminating emissions. As showcased on the Innovation Truck, a fuel cell that produces 3-5 kilowatts of power is enough power to operate convenience items during a 34-hour reset period.

  9. Tire pressure monitoring is another important part of keeping a truck as fuel efficient as possible, and the Innovation Truck features the newest option – a wireless SmarTire tire pressure monitoring system integrated with a Lectronix T7000 navigation/infotainment unit. This system not only more accurately reports tire pressure, but it also features an integrated display that simplifies pressure checks.

    The Innovation Truck is configured with a single drive axle that is complemented with a load management system that can transfer weight to the drive axle in low traction situations. This configuration also reduces weight and cost.
