Freightliner has unveiled a new model at Flemington racecourse, Melbourne. The ‘Coronado’ is the first in a series of new or updated Freightliners arriving in Australia over the forthcoming months.
Besides showcasing a renewed cab design, Freightliner revealed that it would resume using Cummins engines in addition to the in-house Detroit Diesel range. The new Coronado is available in two specifications: the standard highway or a severe duty version featuring improved suspension and heavy duty chassis.
Either way, the tare weights are said to be comparatively low due to the employment of lightweight, yet strong components like fibreglass and aluminium.
