Driven by our DAF Transport Efficiency philosophy, we’ve reinvented the DAF CF and XF to establish new levels of excellence. The New DAF models build on the superb reputation of our Euro 6 trucks. They have all the benefits you’re used to, like the class-leading reliability, durability and efficiency and unmatched driver comfort; now we’ve taken these a major step further.
We’ve introduced a whole range of improvements to increase your return per kilometre and reduce your environmental impact. The New CF and XF set a new standard in transport efficiency and are the benchmark for driver comfort. In short: Pure Excellence.
Higher torque at lower revs in combination with optimised drivelines, new high-efficiency rear axles, enhanced electronics performance and aerodynamic improvements result in increased fuel efficiency of up to 7% for long-haul journeys. This could save you thousands of euros a year!
Depending on axle configuration, these features lower vehicle weight by up to 100 kg. This allows higher payloads, which are especially important in applications where every kilogram counts.
The CF and XF are already famous for their high reliability. The new electric and electronic architecture improve this performance even further. Wiring and connections have all been reduced and simplified for highest reliability and excellent flexibility when it comes to adding auxiliaries. The result is maximum vehicle availability and lowest operating cost.
Our new DAF Connect fleet management system gives you real-time insight into driver and vehicle efficiency. The system provides clear information on vehicle location, fuel consumption, mileage, fleet utilisation and idle time. By optimising vehicle availability, reducing operational cost and enhancing logistical efficiency, DAF Connect maximises your profitability per kilometre.
The new premium exterior makes The New CF and XF the most attractive trucks on the road. And with the updated interior, drivers have an environment that makes their favourite truck even better.
New levels of driver comfort are another big part of the New CF and XF. We’ve added features that make the cab an even more attractive and comfortable place to work, live and sleep. There are many new options that allow personalisation of the interior for unmatched comfort and luxury. And we’ve introduced numerous innovations that make driving easier, safer and more enjoyable than ever.
The New CF and XF are powered by multi-torque PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines with new power ratings. Many innovations result in even more torque at lower rpm for highest fuel efficiency.
For industry-leading fuel economy, fully variable oil, steering and coolant pumps, a new piston ring package, and a new piston skirt profile all contribute to additional friction reduction. What’s more, we’ve added a new turbo charger and a new combustion system for maximum efficiency.
The new CF & XF include an extended set of Eco Mode options. The Eco Performance Mode ensures the balance between high drive-ability and best fuel efficiency. When fuel efficiency is leading, the Eco Fuel Mode is the best option, with gear shifting at lower revs for instance.
Repair and maintenance costs can be a huge drain on your bottom line. So we’ve introduced innovations to keep wear and tear to a minimum. For example, the clutch control is now situated in the clutch housing itself, protecting against damage from water and dirt. And the alternator is electronically controlled to improve battery charging. Together, these enhancements improve durability, reliability and ultimately your profitability.
Pure excellence is carried through in the new well thought out chassis. Manufactured from high-quality steel, it’s strong, stable and light. What’s more, it has space-saving features that will delight body builders.
