Freightliner trucks are produced at company-listed plants in the United States and Mexico; Daimler India Commercial Vehicles also says its Oragadam facility produces Freightliner trucks. The plant and country of origin depend on the particular truck, so the brand name alone does not identify where an individual vehicle was built.
Who owns Freightliner Trucks?
Freightliner is a brand of Daimler Truck North America, which is a subsidiary of Daimler Truck AG. Daimler Truck identifies Freightliner as a DTNA brand on its Freightliner brand page. Daimler Truck’s 2025 Annual Report also places Freightliner among the brands produced and marketed by its Trucks North America segment.
Brand ownership and manufacturing origin are separate facts: the corporate owner does not mean every truck is assembled at the same plant or in the same country.
Where are Freightliner trucks made?
Daimler Truck describes Freightliner production locations in the United States and Mexico. DTNA’s plant directory names these locations as producing Freightliner vehicles:

A model-specific example: Cascadia production in Cleveland
Daimler Truck’s Cleveland plant profile identifies the Freightliner Cascadia among the models produced there. That is a specific example, not a complete or necessarily current model-by-model allocation.

Freightliner production in India
Daimler India Commercial Vehicles says its Oragadam facility near Chennai produces Freightliner trucks alongside BharatBenz and Mercedes-Benz trucks. This additional location means it would be incomplete to say Freightliner trucks are made only in the United States and Mexico. The statement does not establish that Freightliners sold in North America are assembled in India.

The company location lists establish a production footprint, not the origin of an individual truck. To verify a specific vehicle, check its VIN and certification label, or ask for its build sheet or manufacturer/dealer records. Do not infer its country of assembly from the Freightliner name alone.
