DAF proves its worth with full Euro 6 line up10 April 2014

DAF is unveiling its full range of LF, CF and XF Euro 6 trucks to 500 operators and road transport journalists today (10 April 2014) at the Millbrook Proving Ground, in Bedfordshire.

The tractor unit line-up features two- and three-axle models from both the CF and XF families, including the CF440 lightweight FTP 6x2, suitable for tankers and bulk tippers with its maximum payload.

The CF440 is powered by the new MX-11 10.8-litre engine, delivering 440bhp, which is 180kg lighter and 3% more fuel efficient than the MX-13 12.9-litre engine, available at up to 510bhp for heavier duty applications.

The LF range is available in 7.5-, 12- and 18-tonne gvw variants, fitted with Paccar bodies designed and built on-line at Paccar's factory in Leyland, Lancashire. Paccar bodies are also fitted on the CF at 18 tonnes gvw, and box and curtainsiders are available.

DAF has also upgraded its CF 8x4 tippers, with an on-road version and a new construction variant in 6x4 and 8x4 rigid format and a 6x4 tractor configuration.

The construction trucks are built for high ground clearance and approach angle to suit on-off road applications such as muck-away.

Following the Millbrook event, the new vehicles will be shown at ride and drive events around the country, organised by the DAF dealer network.
