Freightliner Trucks has released a new smartphone application to commemorate the company’s 70th anniversary as well as providing tools for drivers.

The free app, for iPhone and Android devices, provides a look at Freightliner’s legacy of innovation with videos and a detailed timeline that celebrates the company’s products and technological milestones.

“Not only are we celebrating our history in a technologically advanced way, but we continue  to support our customers by offering a thorough and easy-to-use reference tool that helps drivers while they’re on the road,” said David Marx, manager brand development for Freightliner Trucks. “We’ve spent 70 years developing products to help simplify our customers’ lives, and this app is yet another innovative solution from Freightliner Trucks.” 

The app also includes:

  • Dealer locator: This intuitive tool provides a complete listing of Freightliner Trucks dealerships based on the driver’s current location or by entering a city, state or zip code. The interactive locator features a map, contact information, services, hours of operation and real-time, dealer-specific special offers.
