DAF has always been recognized by their low operating cost, superior levels of performance and advanced design. Recently, DAF have introduced the CF and XF tractor units which incorporate a steered trailing rear axle. High payload coupled with maximum maneuverability have given these units an added advantage.
This design involves the three-axle tractor units possessing a steered trailing rear axle, weighing 7.5 tonnes. This finds countless applications for heavy-weight work. The steered trailing axle may be used effortlessly for the transportation of construction materials and also for the transportation of machinery. This design is characterized by a special balance between maneuvering and payload delivery. The fact that very little space is available for delivery pushes the design to achieve the additional payload to make up for the same. This is attained by the improved design of the steered trailing axle.
As always, DAF has been known for it's increased efficiency, and offers a choice between the more efficient of the two 10.8 litre PACCAR MX-11, and 12.9 litre PACCAR MX-13 engines, characterized by rang of 291kW/396hp to 375kW/510hp. Apart from fuel efficiency, additional enhancements to the engines have been made such as Predictive Cruise Control with Predictive Shifting and Eco mode, aiding with a 5% extra savings in fuel.
The models available with the CF tractor unit include Day Cab, Sleeper Cab and Space Cab. Recent innovations have made all units available, including the XF units' Space Cab and Super Space Cab.
