福莱纳卡车和美国全国范围内转运马鞍小河物流服务，共同开发一个新的福莱纳卡斯凯迪亚®113英寸BBC一天出租车用天然气技术，拥有先进的空气动力学。马鞍小河已经订制了第一件10的车辆，配备一个120加仑的燃料系统。当完成后，这将标志着天然气系统将在第一时间进行全封闭驾驶室空气动力学整流罩背后的侧面和背面。

佛罗里达州的莱克兰，第三方物流公司已经拥有超过100福莱纳CNG在其车队的430辆拖拉机，使其在国内运作超过道路拖拉机船队中最大的CNG。额外的拖拉机10辆，将用于整车业务在美国东南部。一旦测试完成，今年晚些时候，该公司预计将额外订购90天然气卡车。

技术韦斯特波特康明斯ISX 12 G重型天然气发动机与收视率高达400马力和1,450磅 - 英尺的扭矩，马鞍小河的的卡斯凯迪亚CNG拖拉机后面车辆的空气动力学套件包括一个完全封闭的背柜。坦克的位置，将进一步提升圆滑的外观，这有助于减少阻力，并最大限度地提高有效载荷。

“我们的新拖拉机此气动省油设计的开创先河的。说：“我们密切合作，与的福莱纳工程师和敏捷燃料系统设计这个系统，马鞍小河运输，总裁迈克DelBovo。“我们已经能够为我们的客户，与与我们现有的福莱纳CNG拖拉机每一代的显着效益，我们期待着这个最新的拖拉机为他们带来更好的结果。”

据到DelBovo，他福莱纳M2 112 CNG拖拉机已经取得了超过600英里的速度填充。他预计，他的新的卡斯凯迪亚CNG拖拉机达到至少700英里每填充。

马鞍小河致力于环保的解决方案，如CNG，以尽量减少其碳足迹，并支持其客户的可持续发展的努力。由于天然气基础设施是有限的，马鞍小河已经建立了自己的加油站，在莱克兰总部。

“马鞍小河这样的公司合作，使我们能够继续推动信封，当它涉及到提供创新的可持续解决方案，”罗伯特说卡里克，销售经理 - 天然气，福莱纳卡车。“连同马鞍小河和敏捷燃油系统，我们已经开发的下一代清洁技术，改进的空气动力，将移动行业的一个新的方向。”

卡斯卡迪亚113福莱纳天然气日驾驶室提供相同的性能和灵活的福利卡斯卡迪亚拖拉机，把更便宜，更清洁燃烧的天然气燃料。所有卡斯凯迪亚113天然气动力一天驾驶室生产全面启动，将在2013年8月开始。

在2012年2月，美国环保局认证的戴姆勒卡车北美的完整的产品组合模型2013年在公路上，与在新GHG14法规完全符合职业和中型车辆。DTNA是北美第一的商用车制造商，被认证为GHG14兼容。

福莱纳卡车绿色技术的承诺是母公司戴姆勒公司（Daimler AG）的全球塑造未来的交通举措的一部分。在2007年推出的举措侧重于降低标准污染物，二氧化碳和燃油消耗。

Freightliner Trucks and U.S. nationwide transporter Saddle Creek Logistics Services have together developed a new Freightliner Cascadia® 113-inch BBC day cab with natural gas technology featuring advanced aerodynamics. Saddle Creek has ordered the first 10 of the vehicles, outfitted with a 120 gallon fuel system. When complete, this will mark the first time a natural gas system will be fully enclosed behind the side and back of cab aerodynamic fairings.

The Lakeland, Florida-based third-party logistics company already has more than 100 Freightliner CNG tractors in its fleet of 430 vehicles, making it the largest CNG over the road tractor fleet in operation in the country. The additional 10 tractors will be used for truckload operations in the southeastern United States. The company expects to order 90 additional natural gas trucks once testing is completed later this year.

Powered by the Cummins Westport ISX 12 G heavy-duty natural gas engine with ratings up to 400hp and 1,450 lb-ft torque, Saddle Creek’s Cascadia CNG tractors will include a fully enclosed back cabinet behind the vehicle’s aerodynamics package. The placement of the tanks will further enhance the sleek exterior, which helps reduce drag and maximize payload.

“Our new tractors are the first of their kind with this aerodynamic fuel efficient design. We worked closely with Freightliner engineers and Agility Fuel Systems to design this system,” said Mike DelBovo, president of Saddle Creek Transportation. “We have been able to provide our customers with remarkable benefits with each generation of our existing Freightliner CNG tractors, and we look forward to bringing them even better results with this latest tractor.”

According to DelBovo, his Freightliner M2 112 CNG tractors have achieved more than 600 miles per fill. He expects his new Cascadia CNG tractors to achieve at least 700 miles per fill.

Saddle Creek is committed to environmentally-friendly solutions such as CNG to minimize its carbon footprint, and support the sustainability efforts of its customers. Because the natural gas infrastructure is limited, Saddle Creek has built its own fueling station at its Lakeland headquarters.

“Partnering with a company like Saddle Creek allows us to continue to push the envelope when it comes to offering innovative sustainable solutions,” said Robert Carrick, sales manager – natural gas, for Freightliner Trucks. “Together with Saddle Creek and Agility Fuel Systems, we have developed the next generation in clean technology with improved aerodynamics that will move the industry in a new direction.”

The Freightliner Cascadia 113 natural gas day cab offers the same performance and versatile benefits of the Cascadia tractor, with the incorporation of cheaper, cleaner burning natural gas fuel. Full start of production on all Cascadia 113 natural gas-powered day cabs will begin in August 2013.

In February 2012, the EPA certified Daimler Truck North America’s complete portfolio of model year 2013 on-highway, vocational and medium-duty vehicles as fully compliant with the new GHG14 regulations. DTNA was the first North American commercial vehicle manufacturer to be certified as GHG14-compliant.

Freightliner Trucks’ commitment to green technologies is part of parent company Daimler AG’s global Shaping Future Transportation initiative. Launched in 2007, the initiative focuses on reducing criteria pollutants, carbon dioxide and fuel consumption.
