For the first time in a lifetime, a truck takes a quantum leap forward from the rest of the field.

It is fitting that after a hundred years of trucking, a new truck comes to lay the cornerstone for the next century.  With the introduction of the Century Class, Freightliner has defined the future of trucks.   It is a future in which the ability of electronics to clarify information and simplify operation is realized at last.  A future in which on-board computing power knows no bounds.

The first all-new Class 8 truck in a generation, the Century Class combines component innovations with exacting computer-aided design to stretch maintenance intervals and extend component life far beyond the limits imagined in the past.

It represents the re-evaluation and re-engineering of some 8,000 components, with new ideas and technologies incorporated in almost every one of them.  It is nothing less than a revolution that combines, in one vehicle, new dimensions of operational efficiency, driver appeal and safety.

From this time on, no truck builder can treat vehicle safety as a secondary concern.  No driver will ever again be content with unstylish, cramped, cobbled-together interiors - not with the Century Class serving up examples of premium comforts, modern amenities and custom modularity.  And no owner can expect less from their truck manufacturer than a nonstop cycle of customized support everywhere their trucks impact their business.

The first true trucking platform for the 21st Century, the Century Class is everything forward-thinking truckers have asked for to push their competitive edge.

Now that they have it, they will never look back.
