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.
Introduced in 1995 for 1996 production, the Century Class offered optional onboard messaging and even telephone and fax systems.
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.
