THE TRUCK OF THE FUTURE.

You are looking at Freightliner’s latest unconventional product in every sense of the word. You are witnessing Freightliner’s advanced transport technology taken to new frontiers. This is the Freightliner Argosy.


Freightliner Argosy 90


From its greater structural integrity to easier service-ability, from its high-tech CenturyClass systems to high-productivity cab- and -trailer combination, the Freightliner Argosy is both a testament to Century Class engineering and an extraordinary prelude to a new era of transport efficiency.

Whether derived from the Century Class foundation or developed specifically for the Argosy, virtually every component and subsystem represents the very latest in materials, technology and design.

The Argosy not only benefits from Freightliner’s tremendous investment in research and development but from our access to some of the most advanced design and testing facilities in the world through DaimlerChrysler.

Commitment and innovation
Freighliner is customer driven and we are continuously looking at ways to make a Freightliner operator more efficient and cost effective. Our extensive application of aluminium in our cabs is legendary, our driver friendly cabs and high specifications levels are trendsetters in the industry. The application of specialized programs like SpecPro enable us to individually spec trucks to customers’ requirements. All these innovations serve only one purpose to make a Freightliner operate more efficiently and profitably in any operation.


Freightliner Argosy 90

The one stop truck shop concept
This is another innovation to make the life of the truck operator simpler. What better way than to buy, finance and maintain your fleet all under one roof when it best suits you and not the dealer? In addition to all of this the operator has the backing of our 24-hour emergency call number
0800 1333 55.

Freightliner is indeed a truck of the future.
