Daf expands line-up with new off-road and construction variants

Daf has introduced a suite of double-driven tractors and rigids for off- and on-road applications.

The new models include the new XDC and XFC Construction vehicles that are now also available in 4x2 axle versions. There's also new Extra Robust versions of the XD and XF. 

The XDC and XFC construction vehicles are distinguished by the a black grille and a steel bumper, steel radiator protection plate and two maintenance-free LED fog lights – deeply recessed in the bumper for maximum protection. A flexible lower step is available as an option.

The vehicles have a high ground clearance of up to 40cm and an approach angle of 25 degrees which makes them well-suited for applications which require regular driving off-road. The XDC and XFC are available in 8x4, 6x4 and – for the first time – 4x2 axle configurations.

Daf offers its XDC and XFC trucks with a choice of double-drive, low-maintenance tandems: from a 19-tonne light weight tandem with single reduction (SR1132T), leaf spring suspension and disc or drum brakes to 21- and 26-tonne variants (SR1360T) with single reduction, disc brakes and air suspension.

For heavy and off-road applications the 21- and 26-tonne tandem is also available with hub reduction (HR1670T). The tandems are available with wide range of rear axle ratio options from 3.46:1 to 7.21:1.

The entire range of Daf tandem sets is also available for the new on-road 6x4 and 8x4 Daf vehicles, requiring greater traction and high payloads. The 6x4 and 8x4 rigids are available as XD and XF. The 6x4 tractor is available as an XG and XG⁺, as are 8x4 rigids with a steered trailing axle. The 8x4 heavy duty tractor with steered pusher axle for exceptional transport applications is available as a XF, XG and XG⁺.

For applications that may occasionally require extra traction, Daf offers a hydraulic front-wheel drive option for 4x2 tractor versions of the XD, XDC, XF and XFC. The ‘PXP’ system can be activated via a switch on the dashboard.

Entirely new are the XD Extra Robust and XF Extra Robust. The series combines the cabs of the XDC and XFC with an on-road chassis. This is designed for operators in the construction and municipal segments who value the lowest vulnerability but do not need full off-road capabilities. 

The New Generation Daf trucks programme has been extended to include a full series of four-axle variants with single drive for on-road applications.
