The brilliant New Generation Freightliner Argosy stands alone as Australia’s leading on-highway freight specialist. It’s a new generation. It’s the new standard.

Behind its spectacular new appearance, this argosy has been designed to be everything you want.

it’s got durability built into every aspect.

it’s a powerful road warrior which will work for you day in, day out, even in the toughest conditions. it’s high performance and low maintenance so you get the best result out of every load. and it’s a sheer pleasure to drive with a spacious and safe cabin that will leave you feeling great at the end of a long haul.

Power, perFormANce ANd pleAsure.

Versatile, efficient and with a light tare weight, the New generation Freightliner argosy is available in 6x4 and 8x4 versions and can be rated up to 140 tonnes gCM.

with the choice of the very best North american engines – Detroit’s DD15 or Cummins’ iSX & Signature models – you get high horsepower, great fuel efficiency and recognised reliability.

Delivering up to 600 hp and 2050 lb-ft of torque, all the engines are fully aDr80/03 compliant and all are easily controlled with the combination of eaton’s new UltraShift automated transmission and Freightliner’s SmartShift™ automated shifter.

at 1650 inch2, the massive engine/chassis mounted single radiator is the biggest ever in an argosy and it forms the heart of a new high-efficiency cooling system. Intense testing has shown it can easily handle the worst australia can throw at it and still have plenty in reserve for bull bars, insects and heatwaves.

This truck is designed to deliver durability. The electrical architecture has been redesigned to minimise the effects of wear and tear on circuitry and help keep you on the road even longer.

exceptionally aerodynamic with a sloping 24˚ windscreen, the argosy’s high-strength cabins all meet europe’s stringent eCe-r29 standards but are lightweight to allow you to carry more freight.

Front Underrun Protections Device (FUPD) is fitted as standard factory equipment.

available in 90”, 101”, 110” mid-roof and 110” raised roof variants, the argosy’s cabins provide drivers the all the comfort and safety they deserve and expect (please note: 8x4 is only available with 90” cab).

Freightliner’s legendary swing out stairs, completely flat floor and plenty of headroom make the argosy a fantastic work environment. it’s only made better with an ergonomic dash, burl wood grain and ivory gauges, fully adjustable steering column, ample internal storage, panoramic views, and a sleeping area with bunks up to 51” wide.

The brilliant New Generation Freightliner Argosy. The only one to buy. The only one to drive.

Blending space, comfort and design efficiency, the new Freightliner Argosy has cabins that are both incredibly user friendly with open living areas and reassuringly safe.

From the moment you enter via the unique swing out stairs, these cabins will feel like a home away from home and provide exceptional driver comfort whichever one of the four options you choose;

• 90” mid-roof

• 101” mid-roof

• 110” mid-roof

• 110” raised-roof for 2-up sleeping

with up to 6’7” of headroom and a completely flat floor, the Argosy’s cabins are truly walk-through, and once you sit down the new ezyrider ii air suspended seats offer comfort and lumbar support across an array of positions.

The ergonomic cockpit with low-line dashboard provides superior visibility through the aerodynamic windscreen, and with Freightliner’s SmartShift™ automated shifter mounted on the fully adjustable steering column you can change gears with your hands on the wheel and your eyes safely on the road.

aerodynamic side mirrors are electronically adjustable and heated, with spotter mirrors and passenger down-view mirrors.

There are clever storage compartments wherever you look, and external locker boxes can be accessed from inside the cabin.

Dash components are completely injection moulded, with timber look furnishings and ivory gauges.

after a day on the road you can walk into your roomy bedroom and enjoy bunks that are up to a luxurious 51” wide. Privacy curtains keep out the light and sound-deadening material keeps out the noise.

and a high-performance air-conditioning unit will keep you comfortable, day and night.

of course, safety is always a priority. Built from heavy duty aluminium with a semi-monocoque safety cell design, argosy’s cabins are lightweight but strong, easily achieving the strict european eCe-r29 safety standard.

Power - you cAN trust.

A great truck has to have great power. That’s why Freightliner’s New Generation Argosy comes with the choice of the best engines from two of North America’s best engine manufacturers.

it’s power you can trust.

Detroit Diesel’s all new ground-breaking DD15 provides up to 560 hp and 1850 lb-ft of torque.

while Cummins’ legendary iSX & Signature engines are available with up to 600 hp and torque of up to 2050 lb-ft.

lots of power. Bigger loads. easier driving.

all are fully aDr80/03 compliant.

to get all that power onto the road, the argosy offers eaton‘s new UltraShift automated transmission with electric Clutch actuation and intelligent shift selection software which helps perfect launch and shift decisions.

a Hill Start aid prevents rollbacks to make life easier and safer for even the most inexperienced drivers.

BeyoND cool. Freightliner’s engineers have left nothing to chance, giving the New Generation Argosy a truly exceptional cooling package.

Big, effective and robust, it can handle anything so this truck will keep working and keep earning.

it starts with the massive engine/chassis-mounted, 1650 sq2 high-efficiency single aluminium radiator – Argosy’s most efficient ever - but it goes much further.

a specially-designed 11 blade fan, a more efficient charge air cooler, a new air conditioner condenser

and a large capacity header tank all add to the argosy’s incredible ability to keep itself cool.

we’ve even adjusted the cabin height and designed a new front firewall to optimise air flow past the engine bay, to give the engine the coolest possible working environment.

with plenty of reserve capacity to handle bull bars and more, the argosy’s unbeatable cooling package has proved itself in the world’s hottest deserts.

This truck will stay cool – and so will you.

we’ve redesigned the electrical architecture in the New Generation Argosy – minimising circuitry wear and tear to keep your truck out of the maintenance yard. everything has been addressed, from the batteries through to the high speed diagnosis connections.

all high current power cables are routed in conduit from start to finish and Freightliner’s latest erail technology has allowed us to move cabling away from the crowded engine bay to further protect the wiring looms.

a new centralised PowerNet Distribution Box manages all electrical requirements between chassis and cabin for vastly minimising circuitry wear and tear.

From the batteries housed in a temperature sealed carrier, through the leece Neville brushless 185 amp alternator, to the latest technology headlights, the New generation Freightliner argosy is wired for life.

we hate downtime as much as you do, so we’ve designed durability and ease of maintenance into every aspect of the New generation argosy.

The giant grille tilts up to 120˚ so drivers can easily access daily check points.

The cab itself tilts through 75˚ thanks to an effortless ‘electrical over hydraulic’ tilt function. with complete access to the engine, jobs that could take hours only take minutes.

Coming as standard on the argosy, Meritor’s Permalube drivelines are maintenance free and their large, high capacity, front axle wheel bearings are designed to keep you on the road longer.

of course, with a Freightliner you also benefit from having 45 specialist service and parts authorised dealers right across the country.

PaSSiNg eVery test. Built not just to survive, the New Generation Argosy has been tested like no other to ensure it will thrive no matter what you throw at it.

Configured as a fully loaded B-double or road train, the argosy has cruised through dynamic testing in temperatures averaging 46˚, repeatedly driving up 7% gradients nearly 30 kilometers long.

it’s being subjected to endurance tests of more than 2.5 million kilometres of on-road testing and passed aggressive

cab shaker tests at Freightliner’s research and development facilities.

Full scale wind tunnel tests have also made the argosy very “slippery”. The 24˚ windscreen deflects air upward and through the argosy’s open visor, minimising turbulence and cutting running costs.

and with a light overall tare weight allowing payloads to be maximised, the New generation Freightliner argosy has been designed from the wheels up to pass the ultimate test – turning a profit.

when you buy a Freightliner, you not only get one of the very best trucks in the world. you also get the knowledge and support of daimler AG.

The superior technology, design and production techniques available to such an experienced, global organisation are all reflected in the New Generation Argosy. These immense resources are why this truck has evolved so far, so fast.
