Mastering the Winds: Aerodynamic Design and Efficiency.
Aerodynamically Inspired Efficiency.
Experience the unparalleled aerodynamic design of the Freightliner SuperTruck II and discover how mastering the winds can lead to impressive real-world savings for your fleet.
The Freightliner SuperTruck II takes design cues from nature, specifically the wind, to create a truly aerodynamic masterpiece. By mimicking the wind's ability to sculpt and shape, we have crafted a vehicle with exceptional aerodynamic efficiency that translates into significant fuel savings and reduced emissions.
Key Aerodynamic Features:
The SuperTruck II features a meticulously designed exterior with every element refined to cut through the air, reducing drag and boosting fuel efficiency.
These innovative features work in tandem to close the gap between the tractor and trailer at highway speeds, further enhancing aerodynamics.
With no effort required from the driver, the SuperTruck II automatically lowers its ride height at highway speeds to decrease drag and increase fuel efficiency.
Taming the Road: Reducing Rolling Resistance
SuperTruck II: Maximizing Fleet Efficiency
Minimizing friction and maximizing efficiency are critical factors in reducing rolling resistance, which directly impacts fuel consumption and operating costs. The Freightliner SuperTruck II addresses this challenge head-on with innovative technologies designed to keep your fleet rolling smoothly and efficiently..
A key aspect of this mission is our partnership with Michelin, a renowned tire manufacturer. Together, we have developed new tire compounds, treads, and technologies that significantly lower rolling resistance, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
Innovative Features for Reducing Rolling Resistance:
The SuperTruck II is equipped with axles that automatically shift from a 6x4 to a 6x2 configuration at highway speeds. This not only enhances fuel efficiency but also extends tire life.
At highway speeds, the SuperTruck II redistributes weight to the tag axle, which has lower rolling resistance. This clever load management system further improves fuel efficiency.
With no effort required from the driver, the SuperTruck II automatically lowers its ride height at highway speeds to decrease drag and increase fuel efficiency.
Revolutionizing Performance: Powertrain Optimization and Energy Efficiency
Revolutionizing Efficiency, Unleashing Power.
Experience the future of powertrain optimization and energy efficiency with the Freightliner SuperTruck II, and discover how these groundbreaking features can transform your fleet's performance and bottom line.
The Freightliner SuperTruck II redefines powertrain efficiency with its advanced 13-liter engine featuring twin turbochargers and interstage cooling. This cutting-edge engine design results in more efficient air compression, delivering optimal performance and fuel savings without compromising on power.
Innovative Features for Powertrain Efficiency:
The SuperTruck II incorporates the innovative EcoSail system that automatically shuts off the engine on downhill stretches, with all other systems running on battery power. This smart coasting feature saves fuel and reduces emissions.
The addition of a 13th gear in the SuperTruck II's transmission allows for lower down-speeding, which leads to higher fuel savings and improved performance.
The SuperTruck II's electrical system is designed to maximize powertrain efficiencies by running the hoteling feature without the engine running, providing substantial energy savings and a more comfortable environment for drivers.
Innovating for a Safer Future: Advanced Power and Safety Systems
SuperTruck II: Power, Safety, Efficiency.
