C.R. England Unveils New Freightliner Cascadia

Salt Lake City, UT – October 12, 2007 – C.R. England recently held an impressive roll-out for the newest addition to their fleet: the all new Cascadia, a cutting-edge aerodynamic truck from Freightliner. C.R. England employees were invited to check out the newest tractor trailer that will be integrated along side the Freightliner Classic and Freightliner Century in England’s robust truck fleet.

C.R. England selected the Cascadia for its superior aerodynamic design, the most advanced of its kind in the commercial trucking industry. The sharpened roof header, curved mirrors, and lowered hood are just a few of the Cascadia's innovations that work to improve fuel efficiency. The aerodynamic features of the truck require less fuel to push and drive through the wind, thus reducing overall fuel costs for company drivers and owner operators. In fact, the reduced drag of the Cascadia can save truck drivers an average of $938 in annual fuel costs when compared to a leading competitor (the Cascadia boasts approximately 7.8% less drag than the International ProStar, according to Freightliner).


The event was attended not only by C.R. England employees and managers, but representatives from the Freightliner dealership and the Ute cheerleaders from the University of Utah as well. With three Cascadias on display in the lease lot, attendees were able to examine and admire the trucks up close. In addition, lunch was provided as well as a raffle with a myriad of prizes for all ages.

C.R. England will introduce 300 brand new Cascadias into the fleet over the next year and already has a few operating on the road. The tractors will be available to senior company drivers and lease operators. Stanley Studzieniski, a C.R. England driver for more than twenty years, was one of the first drivers to receive one of the new models.

The Salt Lake City based trucking company introduces the Cascadia into the fleet just as gas prices are soaring to record highs. C.R. England lease operators, company drivers, and administrative employees all hope the revolutionary and superior aerodynamics of the Cascadia will help improve fuel efficiency and lower fuel costs.
