- Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), a subsidiary of Daimler Truck, unveiled the Freightliner SuperTruck II in Las Vegas this week. The SuperTruck program, co-funded by the Department of Energy, aims to reduce emissions from on-road freight transportation and allowed DTNA engineers to explore next-generation technologies for heavy-duty commercial trucks. The goal was to clear the technical pathway for their potential integration into series production.
The engineers identified several areas for technology innovation including improved tractor aerodynamics, low-rolling resistance tires, powertrain improvements, and energy management with advanced technologies. Building on the success of SuperTruck I, introduced by DTNA in 2015, SuperTruck II exceeded expectations in aerodynamics, tires, powertrain, and energy management, doubling the freight efficiency of the base vehicle from the start of the SuperTruck program.
To achieve improved aerodynamics, the engineers focused on redefining the existing shape of the market-leading Cascadia, rather than drastically changing its structure. The redesigned hood, bumper, and chassis fairing, combined with a seamless and clean design of the grille, air intakes, and doors, allow air to flow undisturbed around the truck. The active side extenders and roof spoiler system reduce the trailer gap by up to 4 inches at highway speeds, while the enhanced Aerodynamic Height Control lowers the truck just inches off the ground for further aerodynamic benefits. The elimination of exterior mirrors and integration of a mirrorless camera system also significantly reduced aerodynamic drag.
SuperTruck II features the most efficient powertrain Freightliner has ever integrated into a truck, resulting in a 5.7% fuel consumption reduction over SuperTruck I. The non-certified prototype Detroit 13-liter engine features two-stage turbocharging and interstage cooling, as well as a 13-speed overdrive transmission. The split cooling system, high-temperature and low-temperature cooling circuits, two-stage turbocharging, and Exhaust Gas Recirculation cooling on the engine contribute to further efficiency gains and enable more aggressive downspeeding. The smart engine lubrication circuit minimizes internal pumping losses, reducing engine parasitics by actively proportioning flow to the most sensitive components.
The adaptive tandem axles allow increased torque from the fuel-efficient powertrains and automatically shift from 6x4 to 6x2 at highway speeds, providing maneuverability benefits at low speeds. DTNA collaborated with SuperTruck I partner Michelin on the development of new tires specifically designed for adaptive tandem axles, reducing vehicle energy consumption and maintenance downtime due to minimized wear and tear on the tires. The tires also reduce the friction on the road, resulting in less fuel needed to maintain truck speed and a 12% reduction in tractor rolling resistance over SuperTruck I.
SuperTruck II features a 48-volt electrical system with lithium-ion batteries, enabling a new electric steering system that adjusts demand as needed, whether the operator is maneuvering at low speed or driving at highway speeds. The intelligent EcoSail feature can turn the engine off when drive power is not needed, and the new electric air conditioning system consumes 50% less energy than SuperTruck I while operating seamlessly while the engine is turned off. The new 48-volt starter starts the engine with more power and speed, and the 48-volt electrical system operates the hoteling features without the engine running while providing 12-volt power for standard cab items.
DTNA has also been awarded a grant for SuperTruck III to develop a hydrogen fuel cell electric tractor that exceeds heavy-duty long-haul sleeper performance, efficiency, and range requirements without compromising payload. The designs for SuperTruck III are planned to be revealed by 2027. DTNA’s continued involvement in the SuperTruck program aligns with its relentless pursuit of improved customer and driver experiences, as well as increased freight efficiency and resource conservation.

It’s the sexiest supertruck 2 of them all!
That fron bumper will become a plow fast. It will also last till you stop on a crap truckstop where they got potholes that are the size of meteor craters.
As far as the engine goes, what's wrong with simply not delivering fuel when going downhill? I might also add that when going downhill, I need the engine to do engine braking, you know, so that I don't overheat my brakes.
Yeah I don't understand why shutting the engine off is any more efficient. If no fuel is being added when it's coasting downhill it shouldn't matter whether it's on or off. I did read though that the engine will turn on again when using the engine brake
I thought they have variable ride height so the bumper would be higher when going slow.
No mirrors? 😮
Camera mirrors I guess it's supposed to show like a regular mirror but in the truck. I'm guessing it's those top camera mirrors going to show those angel's
This super truck is just equipped with Camera-Monitor System and without Mechanical Devices for Indirect Vision. Is that meets the DOT requirements?
Looking forward great 👍 truck 😊
About Freightliner's range of trucks, which is not a real-time question and can be answered normally. However, the second part, "Very cool from 18 years from your ages," is related to Freightliner or trucks and appears to be a personal message.
If this message is intended for someone else, please provide their name or context so I can understand how to respond. If this message is meant for me, please provide some clarification as it does not make sense in the context of this conversation.
As for answering the initial question about Freightliner's trucks, Freightliner offers a wide range of on-highway and vocational trucks designed for heavy-duty applications. Their on-highway trucks include the Cascadia Evolution, which offers advanced aerodynamics and fuel efficiency, as well as the Coronado, which is known for its reliability and durability. For vocational applications, Freightliner offers the M2 106, which is designed for construction and mining operations, and the Columbia, which is ideal for refuse and recycling applications. Additionally, Freightliner has recently introduced their electric truck lineup, including the eCascadia and eM2, which are designed to meet the demands of commercial fleets while reducing emissions. Overall, Freightliner's range of trucks provides unmatched reliability and performance for a variety of heavy-duty applications., which is not a real-time question and can be answered normally.

new truck 2023 Freightliner SuperTruck II ATS scs software????
What is scs softwear
🥇
When will preorders be available and when will sales start?
As a prototype, they are not for sale. This vehicle cost many millions but the technology is supposed to be utilised in future vehicles.
Did I miss the inside part of the video???
The design is perfection. Freightliner has always been the best. Volvo is also very competitive with their supertruck. Tesla & Kenworths designs are flawed. No passenger seat.
How much ? $8890
Can you buy a Super Truck?
No. It's a one off vehicle for proving and testing fuel saving technology and features. That technology is supposed to be implemented on future production vehicles.
@martindirker it's so cool looking, almost has a pickup truck look
I would love to text it for u
Yall really put a dd13 in it? Not even 13 lieters lol
Hi👋✌antonmursid🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞💝💖
those huge cameras, for fck sakes theres much smaller lenses . u can make barely noticible camera/mirrors... instead of those giant things
Freightliner please stop giving us these short hood trucks that have the engine stuck into the cab it’s such a pain to replace fuel pumps and air compressors also they are too low you can’t put a jack to jack them up I get that this is all for airrow dynamics but maintenance should also be part of performance for technicians and mechanics not just drivers or fleet owners bottom line In short you’re trucks a fuckin nightmare to service or repairs. Go back to the drawing board
No old style class anymore ..... looks like crap
