Developed in partnership with Dutch technology company VDL Groep, the CF Electric is a 4x2 tractor designed for urban distribution operations of up to 40 tonnes, where single- or double-axle semi-trailers are the standard.
The vehicle is based on DAF’s award-winning CF and uses VDL’s E-Power Technology for fully electric operation. At its core is the 210kW electric motor, powered by the lithium-ion battery pack with a current total capacity of 170kWh.
The CF Electric has a range of 100km. Fast charging of the batteries takes 30 minutes; full charging takes from 1.5 hours.
DAF Trucks president Preston Feight says: “As cities announce their intention to require zero emissions and ultra-low noise, we will make sure our customers have the optimal solutions for their success.”
