One way they could increase the aerodynamics more is bu putting a gold ball finish on it. That would trap pockets of air and let the surrounding air flow more smoothly. Certainly wouldn't look as sleek though
It’s fine and dandy but for some reason or another freight lighter gets to the sleeper berth and they completely forget about the Driver I just don’t understand how they do this they been around for so many years and they just can’t get it right for the driver…
All the old school truckers need to get over your self's.The future of trucking will be great and these trucks will blow away anything that's out there today
freightliner 20 why worry about looks when you're out here to make money? you need a long nose Pete to compensate for something? fuck... give me a truck straight outta barbie's play house and a bow and you'd see my ass with a smile every mile...
i'd go with Volvo's super truck as they mention fuel economy(industries biggest expense) in their super truck videos one thing about frieghtliner they can never beat volvo fuel efficiency wise so why buy a truck that doesnt save you money.
80 million is the research and developement cost. Quit being ignorant people, the truck doesnt cost 80 mil...... But seriously, can you imagine the maintenence cost on that spaceshipt? Who would want it?
that couldnt have been 80million dollars if it could fly and float on water i would say maybe. it cant drive itself, It does not have a heads up window display, nothing spectacular about the interior. I'm sure that was a mistake as I actual commercial 737 airliner brand new is less than 80million
Excuse me but did you said $80 million US Dollars?? I`m sure it`s $8 million, nothing can justify $80 million because most of the components on this truck (not all) but most are over the counter items, several hundred to be exact, and the worst thing a company like Freightliner can do in terms of marketing, is follow other manufacture marketing technique , this truck is already build (more than one I`m sure) is a success in terms of style, economy, comfort, safety and more important it is street legal, but have you notice that every time a company like this build an awesome vehicle, as soon it is presented to the public they said "but this truck will NOT be build, it is just a concept BUT some of the components will be use in future trucks" this marketing strategy is been around for way, way too I think it is time for companies like Freightliner to change this marketing nonsense and offer this new vehicle to the public as it is, let me ask you this... what exactly is wrong with this truck? because the only thing that can be considerate as illegal is the camera rear view replacing the conventional rear view mirrors even that was replace with conventional mirror with a tiny cameras on each corner and with two displays on the right and one on the left inside the cabin so in other words the truck now is completely 100% street legal the technology exist, is here, it will help the environment and save fuel, so cut the BS and build the truck as it is. Todays truck drivers expect comfort, economy and of course make money and as far I`m concern this is a money maker machine, good for the world so is a win-win situation.
You know automated transmissions whatever, I understand they're efficient, I still like my Eaton 13 stick but you know not everyone's the same. But for the love of fuck this plastic alien looking truck is just why.. if you need that many cameras to drive a truck there's something wrong. yes blind spot and reversing but its either you're a trucker or not, people are just getting lazier.
They are trying to get rid of the mirrors completely. The air drag on large conventional mirrors is at least half a mpg and cannot be improved. If they remove the mirrors they increase mpg.
Rick w Yes really, its not a preference its called fear of change. Not a single company has gone back and forth over transmissions... Volvo, Mack and even Mercedes for example come standard as automatics for about 5 years now... on what inaccurate data do you base your absurd conclusion?
Rick w Judging solely by your poor grammar, I certainly understand your ignorance on the matter. Frieghtliner, Volvo, etc have done much field data and research, its down right incomparable to the fuel economy and longevity that an automatic can achieve. They only drivers found to have issues with auto's were those who couldn't learn how... you have to be quite stupid if you can't drive an automatic. The savings and predictability are unmatched, besides it will soon become mostly an autonomous industry in the near future. Either deal with or get out the way, relic. I also don't know everything, so stop with the silly accusations and assumptions, its shallow and pedantic.
Rick w Calm down, you will live longer. I see your lack of grammar beyond the level of an 4th grader is still shinning. Come back when you can speak to adults, LMAO. Now go cry my a river with your sad attempt of insults that you seem to only know.
When you want to test new features, or concept ideas. You build 1 prototype with everything, you then test it in the real world. They even made a point they had to add side mirrors, do to current road laws to make it legal. As it was built, with cameras intend for side viewing.
Automatic looks gay as hell and not to mention whats going to happen to that dam skirt they have on the drive tires when u have a dam blow out? i can see there was no brians used while making this truck....
Automatics have been around for a very long time in trucks... its the norm now, 10 years from now, it will be difficult to find a manual simply because automatics are far more efficient. Also, this is a prototype...
Guys 80 million isn;t the street price of the truck, thats the proto type cost including development, research etc. factored in.
Well we can see that they nailed the steering wheel not being TDC when going straight perfectly. Some things will never change.
cascadia truck next to the super truck looks better than this, because this truck is little bit too much when it comes to looks
opening hub and closing after drive looks cool, you could add even opening uper spoiler lift also on start and stop inc button !
esta bien mamalon el freightliner y bien futurista
Love the open close grill!!
80 million? That's all! Shit..... These trucks will sell like Hot cakes.😂😂😂😂
John Moore yup ordering a new fleet
Only truckers would think it was 80mil. Everyone else knew what he actually was saying.
Looks like Kenworth is the only company that thought outside the box
Pode se torna uma futura referência em transporte ...mas fica pra trás comparando o estilo e beleza dos caminhões americanos dos anos 80 e 90
One way they could increase the aerodynamics more is bu putting a gold ball finish on it. That would trap pockets of air and let the surrounding air flow more smoothly. Certainly wouldn't look as sleek though
80 million truck???? why didn't see nothing really special about it
If this is the future of trucks, I don't love trucks anymore 😢😢
Why?
Same I don't like the future trucks it's ugly 😢
cool have a Good Time
Nice but those head lights look kind of high , still a freightliner 😄
To bad they are not going to produce these, I'm ready for the Future I hope they change their mind.
It seems like the future is going to be full of overpriced sensors and vents that stop openning right as you need them to open.
It tics me off that they have the way to make them more aerodynamic but won't market them!
Wow. I didn't think the cascadia could get any uglier. I was wrong! 💩
I didn't hear any mention of fuel mileage
! That should have been the first thing talked about!
modified cascadia. it's a Cascadia with a modified body, technology and interior
high gloss interior is nice, easy to clean.
how many features of this concept is going to be available on the production model
awesome
ESTA MAS CHIDO EL TRAILER DEL MAESTRO,DE LA PELICULA LOLA LA TRAILERA
glad he said this new peice of shit was not goin into production. $80 million truck n not goin to production.
I like the track
Were not giving up or normal semis
It’s fine and dandy but for some reason or another freight lighter gets to the sleeper berth and they completely forget about the Driver I just don’t understand how they do this they been around for so many years and they just can’t get it right for the driver…
All the old school truckers need to get over your self's.The future of trucking will be great and these trucks will blow away anything that's out there today
no they are ugly as shit I would rather go back to horse and buggys than drive that ugly shit
freightliner 20 obviously your a moron,the future for big rigs is awesome,long nose crap Pete's Kenworths see ya
freightliner 20 why worry about looks when you're out here to make money? you need a long nose Pete to compensate for something? fuck... give me a truck straight outta barbie's play house and a bow and you'd see my ass with a smile every mile...
Obviously an electronic drivetrain will give you more torque. Look at electronic superbikes, they're incredible.
80 Million?
i'd go with Volvo's super truck as they mention fuel economy(industries biggest expense) in their super truck videos one thing about frieghtliner they can never beat volvo fuel efficiency wise so why buy a truck that doesnt save you money.
So is this a production product?
+imnotmelvin3 Nope, not even close.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..... whats the MPG?
freghtliner compare to keywopper or petershaker they can't compete with paccar makes good stuff.
Dear God hope I retire before this shit hits the road.
No one can make enough Money to cover its cost.
Cheena Diu thats the cost for the prototype, if it went into production it would probably be like 160-200k depending on when it would be released
Relax people. The 80 million is not the cost of each truck. Lots of money goes into creating a better truck every year.
$80M?
I can not trust existing truck maker any longer. Tesla is developing semi truck. I hope for that.
80 million WTF???? where is reactive engine?? and panel looks like 2010 maximum...
😂 Yeah, let Swift buy one, and it won't last a week!...🤓😅😂🤣😂
Sell it, and buy you a new Peterbilt 389!...👍🚛
esta mui feo el futuro del freight y sensible
80 million is the research and developement cost. Quit being ignorant people, the truck doesnt cost 80 mil......
But seriously, can you imagine the maintenence cost on that spaceshipt? Who would want it?
that couldnt have been 80million dollars if it could fly and float on water i would say maybe. it cant drive itself, It does not have a heads up window display, nothing spectacular about the interior. I'm sure that was a mistake as I actual commercial 737 airliner brand new is less than 80million
80 mil? what?
that is the price ? !

Its still a Freightliner, six months on the road and the dash falls in your lap
LOL!
the only thing i saw good on this truck is the camera's on the mirrors.
i didnt see a stick shifter.
Most trucks are now and will be automatics... sticks are old school, lol.

Then you are in the wrong profession...

that's the ugliest truck I've ever seen in my life period
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸389🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Boring. I will still drive a old 379 or 359.
Matthew Maxwell both old and gay.Peterbuilt is old technology ,old fashioned crap
Phill Garelli Old trucks and cars are funnier to use than rolling cellphones
Why build something your not going to build, $80 million dollars of teasing BS
When you want to test new features, or concept ideas. You build 1 prototype with everything, you then test it in the real world. They even made a point they had to add side mirrors, do to current road laws to make it legal. As it was built, with cameras intend for side viewing.
wow do y'all have anything better to do other then making gay looking trucks?
Nothing special only body work changes...!
Automatic looks gay as hell and not to mention whats going to happen to that dam skirt they have on the drive tires when u have a dam blow out? i can see there was no brians used while making this truck....
Automatics have been around for a very long time in trucks... its the norm now, 10 years from now, it will be difficult to find a manual simply because automatics are far more efficient. Also, this is a prototype...
I happen to know one of the workers was named Brian so atleast one was used...
Daniel Miller automatic is superior to manual when it comes to torque
Those skirts have been used in Europe for years now with no problem. They are hinged and will flip up in a blowout.
horrible
To bad they are not going to produce these, I'm ready for the Future I hope they change their mind.
