DAF Trucks Long-term UK market-leader DAF Trucks featured its award winning New Generation DAF XF & XG heavy-duty truck range plus a zero-emission LF Electric 19-tonner. The New Generation DAF XF 450 FTP ADR/Pet Reg and XG 530 FT low-deck tractor units took pride of place on stand, while an XG 480 FTG 6x2 tractor powered by PACCAR MX-13 12.9-litre engine running on HVO (Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil) was showcased. This drop-in alternative to diesel requires no vehicle modifications and delivers a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions from well-to-wheel compared to regular diesel. Co-starring alongside was a zero-emission 19-tonne LF Electric, with its PACCAR box-van body. Designed and manufactured at Leyland Trucks in Lancashire, it was presented with a PACCAR charging unit; one of a range of static and mobile PACCAR charging solutions that are available from 20kW to 350kW to suit both AC and DC charging. DFSK ready to take away Interest in the new DFSK EC35 compact electric van and the DFSK EC31 electric chassis cab has been increasing following their appearances at various shows. The Chinese made DFSK EC35 2-seat electric van is ideal for inner-city and town driving due to its compact proportions.
