The Paccar MX-11 Euro 6 engine has picked up an innovation prize, with judges describing it as "a great example of modern engine development".
Winning the Truck Innovation category at the Fleet Transport Awards 2015, in Ireland, the MX-11 was recognised for its reliability, high fuel efficiency and low weight for optimum payload.
"By integrating as many functions as possible and applying advanced technologies like double overhead camshafts and high pressure common rail fuel injection, the new Paccar MX-11 engine is a great example of modern engine development," said Jarlath Sweeney, chairman of the awards jury.
The 10.8-litre engine is offered in DAF's CF and XF models, and is available with outputs from 286bhp to 435bhp.
