New Vehicles Establish New Quality and Efficiency Standard
DAF Trucks launched the new Euro 6 LF and CF models and the new Euro 6 PACCAR MX-11engine at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham (the United Kingdom) today. The new Euro 6 LF and CF have been developed for maximum transport efficiency, market-leading low operating costs and optimum vehicle performance. “With the launch of the new LF and CF models, DAF has introduced a complete new range of efficient Euro 6 vehicles”, shared Harrie Schippers, DAF president. “The Euro 6 project is the largest investment and development program in DAF’s 85-year history, resulting in industry leading products for highest customer satisfaction.”
The new Euro 6 LF is ideal for distribution and the new Euro 6 CF is well suited for a wide range of applications, varying from regional transportation to heavy construction. These new models feature a new chassis, new drivelines and a new exterior design which emphasizes the family resemblance to the top of the range Euro 6 XF. The spacious interiors of the new LF and CF have been completely renewed and include new seats, new instrument panels with color information display and new steering wheels for excellent ergonomics and driver comfort.
A full range of powerful and efficient PACCAR engines are available for the new Euro 6 LF and CF, including the state-of-the-art 4.5 and 6.7 liter PACCAR PX-5 and PX-7 engines and advanced 10.8 and 12.9 liter PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines. All these efficient PACCAR engines incorporate a high pressure common rail fuel injection system, a turbo charger with variable geometry and innovative technologies to maximize efficiency, including encapsulated wiring harnesses and advanced engine management systems. Sophisticated exhaust after treatment systems are applied for maximum efficiency and lowest fuel consumption.
Production of the versatile Euro 6 CF is planned to start mid-year, with the Euro 6 LF distribution truck entering production in the fourth quarter.
