Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) will showcase its latest advancements in commercial vehicle technology at Truck World 2026 on April 16-18 in Toronto, with a lineup of Freightliner and Western Star trucks and Detroit powertrain technologies.
The manufacturer will feature the Detroit Gen 6 heavy-duty diesel engines, giving Canadian audiences their first in-person look at the next-generation powertrain technology. Updates for the engine include an advanced combustion strategy, reduced parasitic power losses, and increased torque ratings to support downspeed performance for on-highway applications.
“Truck World provides a valuable opportunity to connect directly with Canadian customers, hear their feedback, and share the innovations shaping the future of both Daimler Truck North America and our industry,” Greg Treinen, VP of on-highway market development, DTNA, said. “Every truck, engine, and solution we bring forward is guided by real-world customer needs, and we look forward to serving the Canadian market with proven platforms that deliver uptime and long-term value.”
DTNA will present a range of its vehicles and services. For heavy-haul applications such as logging in British Columbia, a Western Star 49X Power Hood tractor will be on display. For urban construction applications, DTNA will showcase a Freightliner 114SD Plus with a dump body. Also on display will be the all-new Fifth Generation Freightliner Cascadia, which supports both local pickup and delivery and cost-to-coast, over-the-road transportation.
As one of its newest offerings, DTNA will highlight the exterior camera system for the Western Star 49X and Freightliner 114SD, giving attendees a closer look at how the system supports improved visibility. Visitors will also have the opportunity to participate in a ride-and-drive experience featuring a natural gas-powered Fifth Generation Freightliner Cascadia equipped with the Cummins X15N engine.
In addition, a custom hardware configuration demonstration on the Western Star 49X will allow attendees to experience DTNA’s technology for tapping existing electrical architecture.
