Class-leading interior
The New CF and XF build on the excellent standards of driver comfort for which the DAF trucks are renowned world-wide.
Drivers dream
High-comfort climate control
Even better driver information
We’ve further expanded driver information, making it easier to take effective action. The beautiful and clear instrument panel has new fonts and a new styling for even better readability. The Driver Information Panel also provides more information to increase driver comfort and efficiency. To enhance driver performance even further, settings are grouped on the instrument panel more logically and the Driver Performance Assistant (DPA) includes even more tips for economical driving

Driveline Excellence
Industry-leading fuel efficiency is the result of a perfectly integrated driveline, featuring best-in-class engines, transmissions and rear axles.
The New CF and XF are powered by multi-torque PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines with new power ratings.
High-performance gearboxes
The New CF and XF come with the latest generation of TraXon automated gearboxes (12 and 16 speed). Fewer friction losses, even faster upshifts and the extended use of EcoRoll contribute to lowest fuel consumption, whereas driver comfort is enhanced thanks to its quiet and smooth operation and precise clutch actuation. The TraXon automated transmission also allows higher reductions in lowest gears through which even faster drive lines could be realized.
High-Efficiency Rear Axles
In addition these new engines and gearboxes, we’ve introduced high-efficiency rear axles with low-friction wheel ends. What’s more, a range of faster ratios starting from 2.05 enable lower engine rpm’s for highest fuel efficiency. To reduce friction losses, we’ve introduced ground differential gear sets and added new bearings and seals in the rear axle along with low-level, low-friction rear axle oil.
Chassis
The ideal base for any superstructure
Strong, light and superb handling
Pure excellence is also carried through in the new well thought out chassis. Manufactured from high-quality steel, it’s both strong and light. In tractor units and some rigids, the robust, lightweight rear axle is mounted with a Stabilink construction.
- Light weight increases fuel savings and payload, for greater transport efficiency.
- The Stabilink rear axle suspension ensures optimum roll stability, higher payloads and superb handling.
Maximum flexibility
The New CF and XF offer unmatched efficiency when it comes to chassis configurations. Components can be positioned to optimally meet your specific requirements for highest efficiency. In addition, there is ample of space for mounting pump systems, crane leg supports or large fuel tanks.
- The smart chassis lay-out allows fuel tank volumes of up to no less than 1,500 liters on tractors.
- Variation in chassis component positioning is almost endless for industry-leading flexibility.
Body builder-friendly
The new CF and XF offer an extensive Body Attachment Module (BAM) programme that offers excellent body builder friendliness. Specific modules are available for boxed bodies and the installation of cranes. Rigids have a standard hole pattern at rear for easy fitment of cross members and tail lifts.
- Extended Body Attachment Program shortens build-up time.
- A completely flat chassis and components installed on the inside add to great body builder friendliness.
Ultra-compact EAS unit
For the New CF and XF we developed a completely new and ultra-compact Emissions After-treatment System. It results in more free space at the chassis. For special applications, DeNOx installation and Diesel Particulate Filter don’t need to be split anymore. That also contributes to highest efficiency.
- Ultra-compact EAS unit means more free chassis space.
- It’s 50 kilograms lower weight directly translates into the additional payload.
ECAS air suspension
For excellent reliability, durability and functionality, the electronically controlled air suspension (ECAS) has been completely renewed. New functions include pressure ratio control, lift axle 2 control and pressure control of lift bellows. It also offers ECAS freeze and ECAS bump and freeze to stabilise the axle when operating auxiliaries like cranes and hook lifts. An innovative, easy-to-use remote control with illuminated buttons is connected to the seat.
- New ECAS options ensure safer working during loading and unloading
- Drivers enjoy precise control under all conditions using handy remote
