Series production of XD and XF Electric to start in summer 2023 |
DAF has reached the impressive production figure of 50,000 New Generation trucks. The milestone vehicle – a white DAF XG with 355 kW/480 hp PACCAR MX-13 engine – was officially delivered to the Dutch customer Kleijn Transport in Alblasserdam. The New Generation DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ are the first and only trucks on the market to comply with the new European Masses & Dimensions regulations that allow a more aerodynamic and spacious vehicle design. As a result, the New Generation DAF trucks set new standards in efficiency, safety and driver comfort. Consequently, the DAF XF, XG and XG+ trucks for long and heavy haulage were awarded ‘International Truck of the Year 2022’, while the New DAF XD for distribution and vocational applications received this prestigious award for 2023.
