DAF LAUNCHES FULL SERIES OF NEW GENERATION VOCATIONAL TRUCKS

DAF has completed its successful New Generation XD, XF, XG and XG+ range with a suite of double-driven tractors and rigids for off- and on-road applications. These include the new XDC and XFC Construction vehicles that are now also available in 4x2 axle versions. For applications that require the lowest vulnerability without the need for off-road capabilities, DAF has launched the new Extra Robust version of the XD and XF. In short, there is a New Generation DAF for every application.

The New Generation XD, XF, XG and XG+ trucks have changed the transport industry, setting new standards in efficiency, safety and driver comfort. The XF, XG and XG+ were awarded ‘International Truck of the Year 2022’ whilst the XD received prestigious recognition for 2023. The unique DNA of these multiple awardwinning vehicles carries forward into construction and vocational sectors with the next group of models released in the New Generation truck program.

Xdc And Xfc Construction Trucks

The New Generation XDC and XFC construction vehicles are distinguished by the dominant black grille and a robust steel bumper, steel radiator protection plate and two maintenance-free LED fog lights – deeply recessed in the bumper for maximum protection. A flexible lower step is available as an option.

The New Generation XDC and XFC have a high ground clearance of up to 40 centimetres and an approach angle of 25 degrees, which makes them ideal for applications which require regular driving off-road. The XDC and XFC are available in 8x4, 6x4 and – for the first time – 4x2 axle configurations.

Wide Range Of Tandems

For excellent traction under tough conditions, DAF offers its XDC and XFC trucks with a choice of double-drive, low-maintenance tandems: from a 19-tonne light weight tandem with single reduction (SR1132T), leaf spring suspension and disc or drum brakes to 21- and 26-tonne variants (SR1360T) with single reduction, disc brakes and air suspension.

For heavy and off-road applications, the 21and 26-tonne tandem is also available with hub reduction (HR1670T). The tandems are available with wide range of rear axle ratio options from 3.46:1 to 7.21:1 to perfectly tune the specification to the individual task.

6x4 and 8x4 for on-road applications

The entire range of DAF tandem sets is also available for the new on-road 6x4 and 8x4 New Generation DAF vehicles, needing superb traction and high payloads. The 6x4 and 8x4 rigids are available as XD and XF. The 6x4 tractor is available as an XG and XG+, as are 8x4 rigids with a steered trailing axle. The 8x4 heavy duty tractor with steered pusher axle for exceptional transport applications is available as a XF, XG and XG+.

Hydraulic Pxp Frontwheel Drive As An Option

For applications that may occasionally require extra traction, DAF offers a firstclass hydraulic front-wheel drive option for 4x2 tractor versions of the XD, XDC, XF and XFC. This robust and maintenance friendly ‘PXP’ system can be activated via a switch on the dashboard.
