About the brand ❤️
Freightliner Trucks is a leading American commercial truck brand established in 1942 when the truck‑manufacturing division of Consolidated Freightways was reorganized into Freightliner Corporation. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, it has grown into one of North America’s most prominent producers of heavy‑duty and medium‑duty trucks, known for reliable performance and innovative designs such as lightweight aluminum cabs. Over the decades, Freightliner expanded its product range to include tractors, vans, and specialty chassis, serving freight, construction, and vocational markets. In 1981 the German firm Daimler AG acquired Freightliner, and today it operates under Daimler Truck AG through Daimler Truck North America LLC, reflecting its global integration while maintaining a strong U.S. identity. Freightliner trucks are manufactured in multiple facilities across the United States and Mexico, combining American heritage with international corporate backing to meet commercial transportation needs worldwide.
