We're thrilled to announce the arrival of the The Fifth Generation Cascadia from Freightliner in American Truck Simulator, which is now available to purchase and drive in-game. This release is especially exciting, as we've worked closely with the team at Freightliner to synchronize its real-life premiere and launch with our virtual implementation. [previewyoutube=Gm803sX3nyM;full][/previewyoutube] Ready to hit the road? Let's take a closer look at the newest generation of this iconic on-highway truck.

These features help streamline airflow and reduce drag, extending the fuel efficiency and range on each journey.
