Freightliner discontinued the FLD 120/132 Classic and Classic XL for 2010, as its model line went through a transition after Sterling closed.
The Argosy was the final Class 8 cabover marketed in North America, and mass production moved entirely to export after the 2006 model year.
An early Freightliner conventional built for a decade; at 40 to 50 years old only a small share survives, perhaps 1,500 trucks (estimate). About 1,500 on North American roads today (estimate).
The redesigned Cascadia adopted design elements from the Freightliner Inspiration, the first road-licensed autonomous semitruck.
On August 22, 2014, the Cleveland plant built Daimler Truck North America's 3 millionth vehicle, a 2015 Cascadia Evolution.
The eCascadia prototype was tested for more than 1 million miles before its official premiere in May 2022.
The Columbia, a fleet-focused sibling of the Century Class, was distinguished by teardrop-shaped headlamps styled like the Freightliner M2.
Cabovers had fallen to a 3% share of the Class 8 market by 1998, the year before the Argosy replaced both the FLB and FLA.
