Schneider previews Freightliner’s eCascadia Class 8 electric truck

Company associates get a firsthand look at the future of their fleet

Schneider hosts Freightliner at its headquarters in Green Bay this week for company associates to experience the eCascadia Class 8 electric truck prior to integrating the vehicles into their fleet.

In 2021, Schneider announced the addition of 62 Freightliner eCascadia’s into their intermodal operations in Southern California. Incorporating electric trucks is a crucial step for Schneider in meeting the sustainability goal of reducing 7.5% per-mile emissions by 2025 and 60% by 2035.

With Freightliner’s visit, associates at Schneider can experience the electric truck and its capabilities in person.

“Schneider is committed to leading the charge in testing and training new technologies before bringing them to the market and we are grateful for Freightliner offering and showcasing such advancements here in Green Bay,” said Schneider Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer Rob Reich. “Electric vehicle integration is of the utmost importance, and we are so excited for it here at Schneider.”
