Built on a Strong Foundation
To build anything long lasting, you need a strong foundation. At the base of every Freightliner truck are well-engineered components that last. From engines to axles, suspensions to transmissions, you get the power, durability and efficiency you need to get the job done right.
Truck Engines
Pumping, pulling and driving at the heart of every Freightliner truck is a Detroit with BlueTec® SCR emissions technology or Cummins truck engine providing the torque, clean emissions and horsepower you need, whatever your application.
Truck Axles
Increase your maneuverability and maximize your payload with one of our proprietary front steer axle, single rear axle, or tandem rear axles; or axles from our partners Meritor or Hendrickson. They will carry the loads at the core of your business.
Truck Transmissions
With your choice of manual, automatic and automated-manual (featuring SmartShift™ technology) transmissions, Freightliner Trucks has the smooth-shifting, fuel-efficient gearbox you need for medium-duty and heavy-duty applications.
Suspensions
Boost your payload capacity and reduce axle vibration with your choice of our proprietary suspension systems or one from our partners, Hendrickson and Chalmers. The result? A more profitable and less stressful ride; optimum clearance and uniform wheel loading for even the most severe duty applications; and better tire wear all around. Your business is riding on it.
