context_page_description: The Freightliner Argosy is a model line of cabover trucks produced by the American truck manufacturer Freightliner. Introduced in 1999 as the replacement for the FLB cabover, the Argosy is a Class 8 truck, currently in its second generation.
  Following the 2006 model year, Freightliner withdrew the Argosy from its model line in the United States and Canada, making it the final Class 8 cabover semi-tractor sold in North America.
  The Freightliner Argosy is produced by Freightliner in its facility in Cleveland, North Carolina; since 2007, production is exported nearly exclusively to South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
context_section_description: In 2012, a second generation of the Argosy was introduced.  While retaining the basic cab structure of the previous generation, the second-generation Argosy shifts its design influence from the Century Class to its replacement, the Cascadia. Continuing to use the original doors also shared with the Century Class, Columbia, and Coronado, the second-generation Argosy adopted a similar dashboard configuration as the Cascadia; in place of the two-piece grille derived from the Century Class, the Argosy received its own single-piece grille (loosely previewing the 2018 Cascadia).  
  While produced in the United States, the second-generation Argosy is sold primarily for export.  Since 2007, all North American sales of the Argosy have consisted of glider truck kits, a combination of a newly constructed body and frame with customer-supplied drivetrain (engine, transmission, driveshaft, and axles).
