Alberta is famous for attractions like Banff, Lake Louise, West Edmonton Mall, and the Calgary Stampede—as well as its extreme weather. For long-haul truck drivers, navigating the province means facing both scorching summers and bitter, icy winters. To tackle Alberta's challenging highways, your truck needs to be up to the task.
At Velocity Truck Centre in Edmonton, we have a great selection of heavy-duty trucks, including the Freightliner Cascadia, built for the toughest conditions.
Choosing a Freightliner Cascadia in Edmonton is a premium choice, perfectly suited to handle Alberta’s toughest terrains. Known for its unmatched performance, reliability, and peace of mind, it is ideal for long-haul drivers and fleet operators navigating Alberta’s demanding roads.
Safety is a top priority for any truck, especially when traversing Alberta’s variable weather conditions. The Freightliner Cascadia is packed with industry-leading safety features crucial for drivers on challenging highways.
The Detroit Assurance® suite of safety systems offers advanced protection through features like Active Brake Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Warning. These systems are designed to mitigate accidents, giving drivers the confidence they need on slippery roads or during sudden stops. The Side Guard Assist feature is particularly valuable when navigating
Alberta’s urban areas or busy intersections and it provides extra protection by monitoring blind spots and reducing the risk of side-impact collisions.
For a province known for its mountainous terrain, the Cascadia’s optional air disc brakes and engine braking system ensure superior stopping power and control on steep descents, helping drivers maintain control even in the harshest conditions. These safety innovations protect drivers and significantly reduce repair costs and downtime from potential accidents.
Freightliner has built its reputation on the foundation that driver comfort is directly tied to safety and performance. That’s why the Cascadia is designed with a focus on ergonomics and reducing driver fatigue. With noise-limiting cabs and advanced climate control systems, the Cascadia ensures drivers remain comfortable and alert, even during Alberta’s notoriously long winter nights or hot summer days.
The Bose Ride® seat suspension system is available as an option, offering unparalleled comfort to reduce fatigue on long-haul trips. This means drivers can stay sharp and focused, reducing the potential risk of fatigue-related incidents and ensuring safer driving.
In Alberta, where conditions can change in an instant, having a reliable engine and powertrain is crucial. The Freightliner Cascadia is equipped with the Detroit DD15® engine, known for its superior fuel efficiency and power. This engine combines turbo efficiency with a sophisticated fuel injection system, ensuring drivers can confidently tackle Alberta’s hills and highways.
The Detroit Intelligent Powertrain Management (IPM) system optimizes the truck’s performance based on real-time conditions, adjusting RPMs, engine power, and transmission to handle the shifting terrain. Whether facing the steep grades of the Rockies or the wide-open highways of southern Alberta, the Cascadia provides the power and control you need to stay safe and efficient.
For Alberta’s fleet operators, the true cost of ownership extends far beyond the purchase price. With its aerodynamic design and integrated powertrain, the Cascadia is one of the most fuel-efficient trucks on the road today. For long-haul trips across the province, this translates to significant fuel savings—an essential factor for fleet managers looking to cut operational costs.
The Cascadia is built with durability, reducing maintenance and downtime. Its extended service intervals and robust design minimize the need for frequent repairs, ensuring that trucks stay on the road and out of the shop. This combination of fuel efficiency and low maintenance costs makes the Cascadia a smart investment for Alberta’s demanding transportation industry.
