Freightliner discontinued the Columbia model in 2010 for the North American market. The Columbia was replaced by newer models like the Freightliner Cascadia. However, production for export markets continued until 2020, allowing the model to be available in certain regions outside North America for an additional decade.
This decision aligned with Freightliner’s strategy to transition its lineup to more modern and fuel-efficient models like the Cascadia, which offered updated technology and design., which offered improved aerodynamics, fuel efficiency, and driver comfort.
