Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) will make the Allison 3414 Regional Haul Series (RHS) available beginning this month on Cascadia models spec’d with a DD13 Gen 5 engine. Production is set to begin as early as January.
Mary Aufdemberg, DTNA general manager of product strategy and market development, noted the addition of the Allison RHS to Freightliner’s powertrain offerings was a boon for weight-conscious segments where acceleration and maneuverability are also critical.
