Full suite of improvements to strengthen DAF XD, XF, XG and XG⁺

All New Era DAF vans profit from excellent aerodynamics, extremely environment friendly drivelines and a variety of superior driver help techniques, leading to a formidable gasoline effectivity enchancment of as much as 10%. Now, an extra 3% achieve may be realised via driveline and aerodynamic enhancements.

The ability of effectivity

Optimised driveline effectivity is achieved via new engine valve timing, a twin drive coolant pump and a 2-cylinder clutched air compressor. Turbocharger and EGR techniques have additionally been up to date. New gasoline injectors help glorious effectivity, reliability and sturdiness.

Improvements to DAF’s widespread SR1344 rear axle programme embody a brand new pinion design which provides enhanced power and sturdiness and in addition permits the very best PACCAR MX-13 energy score (390 kW/530 hp) to profit optimally from DAF’s down-speeding philosophy. A brand new shifting technique of the transmission and the engine optimisations lead to 7% decrease rpm at cruising velocity (950 as an alternative of 1,030), relying on the configuration.

Due to their glorious gasoline effectivity and low CO₂ emissions, a number of New Era DAF fashions meet the Maut Class 3 requirements, doubtlessly saving 1000’s of euros yearly in German street tax.

To optimise the effectivity of the New Era DAF fashions, the DAF Digital Imaginative and prescient digital camera system (changing typical mirrors), Predictive Cruise Management and low rolling resistance tyres develop into normal on 4×2 and 6×2 variations* to supply one other 6% gasoline effectivity achieve. For purchasers not specifying these options beforehand, complete gasoline consumption and CO₂ profit will doubtlessly be as much as 9%. In day by day apply, the gasoline effectivity achieve may very well be even be bigger, because the aerodynamic package deal can also be normal.

All New Era DAF vans include a 10-year PACCAR Join subscription. This new on-line fleet administration platform supplies real-time data on the efficiency of all the fleet, particular person autos, in addition to drivers, to optimise effectivity and returns. The platform additionally allows environment friendly over-the-air car updates. A serious advantage of PACCAR Join is the straightforward integration with present logistic purposes from third events, setting a brand new normal in fleet administration techniques.

The ability of security

All New Era DAF vans prepared the ground in security, due to a complete vary of Superior Driver Assistant Methods (ADAS) that are delivered ex-factory. These embody Superior Emergency Braking System, Drive-off Help, DAF Facet & Flip Help, Lane Departure Warning and Pace Restrict Recognition. And to reinforce security efficiency, the Occasion Knowledge Recorder data photos and knowledge when the AEBS brake warning is activated, whereas the brand new DAF Drowsiness Detection assesses the driving force’s state of alertness.

The ability of consolation

The driveline updates lead to even decrease noise ranges at cruising circumstances. The brand new shifting technique of the transmission enhances drivability due to a fair smoother shifting efficiency.

The brand new PACCAR Join on-line fleet administration platform options Linked Truck Navigation. This enables the house base to ship full route planning instantly onto the secondary display screen within the truck for highest driver consolation.

A full suite of improvements additional strengthens the business main place of the DAF XD, XF, XG and XG⁺ fashions, setting new requirements in effectivity, security and driver consolation. Gross sales will begin on the IAA exhibition in Hanover.

DAF demonstrates environmental management

Additionally in Hanover, DAF is demonstrating environmental management by displaying its full vary of state-of-the-art XB, XD and XF Electrical autos for metropolis, regional and lengthy haul purposes. These progressive vans function extremely environment friendly drivelines and modular battery packs for ‘zero emission’ ranges as much as 500 kilometres on a single cost. All DAF Electrical vans use LFP batteries (Lithium Ferro Phosphate) with a excessive power density which might be very advantageous by way of useable efficient capability, thermal security, battery lifetime and the variety of charging cycles.

Along with a sequence of top quality electrical autos, the whole service providing makes DAF the proper accomplice for power transition. This consists of devoted consulting providers, in addition to excellent charging stations from PACCAR Energy Options, which additionally provides power storage techniques.

On show on the IAA is an summary of present and future sustainable driveline options. The environment friendly and dependable PACCAR MX engines are totally ready to function on HVO biodiesel, which reduces CO₂ emissions by over 90% ‘well-to-wheel’. Variations that run on B100 Fame biodiesel will develop into obtainable early subsequent yr.

DAF is main the best way in hydrogen expertise, as DAF is presently creating a hydrogen combustion engine, which is anticipated to be prepared for market launch within the coming years.

On show on the DAF stand can also be an e-Axle, which is below growth and illustrates the corporate’s steady pursuit of a full suite of extremely environment friendly powertrain options.

With a full vary of battery electrical autos backed by a complete devoted service providing, on the IAA 2024, PACCAR and DAF are demonstrating their management in supporting prospects of their power transition.

‘Prepared for the Future’

“The perfect vans available on the market have develop into even higher”, acknowledged Harald Seidel, DAF Vans’ president. “On account of a sequence of improvements, the New Era DAF XD, XF, XG and XG⁺ fashions are setting new requirements once more in effectivity, security and driver consolation. Moreover, we’re providing a full vary of battery electrical autos with ranges as much as 500 kilometres. Within the meantime, we proceed to discover and develop different, sustainable street transport applied sciences. Our presence on the IAA Transportation 2024 illustrates that DAF is prepared for the long run.”
