Freightliner announced Monday that advanced LED headlights are standard equipment for the M2 106 Plus, eM2 and M2 112 Plus models, starting with the 2026 builds.
"Whether navigating city streets before dawn or traveling rural roads after dark, by making advanced LED headlights standard across the entire M2 Plus line-up, we're ensuring the driver is equipped with technology that supports safety, uptime and confidence on the road, no matter the route or conditions," says Joanna Buttler, general manager, product strategy and market development, Daimler Truck North America (DTNA).

The headlights feature a daylight-like white light with 6,000K color temperature, which is similar to natural sunlight. DTNA says this will enhance visibility and support driver awareness of road hazards, signage and pedestrians. An optional deicing feature will keep headlights clear in snow, ice or freezing rain.
The LED headlamp system is designed for longevity with a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours. DTNA says that means reduced maintenance needs, fewer service interruptions and lower replacement costs. The lights are fully compatible with previous M2 Plus series and legacy models, allowing for easy upgrades.
