DAF is expanding its new Euro 6 series with a full range of four-axle CF and XF rigids and tractors for special and heavy duty transport applications. DAF has a tailored solution for every transport application. 


DAF Euro 6 XF FTM LRLast year, DAF commenced production of a wide range of two- and three-axle tractors and rigids with single or double drive for its new Euro 6 CF and XF models. The new four-axle vehicles also have a wide choice of configurations so that vehicle specifications can always be tailored to suit a wide range of applications. In addition to conventional 8×4 configurations there are also 8×2 configurations available to ensure maximum manoeuvrability. 


The new CF range now includes the FAX configuration with four-axles: with two steered front axles (8 or 9 tonnes) and a rear bogie consisting of an 11.5 tonne driven axle and a 7.5 tonne steered trailing rear axle. 


The FAX CF has a GVW of 32 tonnes and can be specified for drawbar operation up to 44 tonnes. 


The extra manoeuvrability makes it ideal for distributing construction materials, plant or machinery movement allowing a large crane to be mounted behind the cab. The FAX is also proving a popular choice in certain tipping applications such as for animal feeds. 


For the first time in the UK, the FAQ four axle configuration is introduced which features the three rearmost axles mounted at the rear to form a tridem. This configuration has proven popular on the Continent for special applications because of its ability to cope with loads biased towards the rear of the vehicle whilst providing exceptional manoeuvrability. 



The new CF FAQ comes with single front axle rated at either 8 or 9 tonnes. The tridem consists of a steered leading rear axle, a driven rear axle and a steered trailing axle with a combined capacity in the UK of 24 tonnes. The FAQ has a maximum GVW of 32 tonnes and because of its three steered axles has excellent manoeuvrability and yard-friendliness. 


Also new in the Euro 6 XF series is an 8×4 tractor where the tridem consists of a double-drive tandem and a steered leading rear axle. This FTM combines serious traction with a high load capacity and is therefore exceptionally well-suited for applications within the heavy-duty and special transport sector, where combination weights of up to 150 tonnes are not uncommon. The four axle tractor configuration is becoming increasing popular in the UK and Europe for heavy haulage as operators aim to maximise payload whilst minimising individual axle loads. 

The XF FTM is usually used for transporting heavy industrial machinery, cranes, construction materials and wind turbines. This heavy transport tractor is available in several configurations. Equipped with an 8 or 9-tonne front axle and an 8-tonne leading rear axle and double drive tandem with single or hub reduction axles on either steel or air suspension at the rear, the impressive XF tractor can operate up to 150 tonnes GTW in Special Types operation. 


Efficient PACCAR engines, efficient PTOs 
With the extensive new CF and XF series comes a wide range of powerful and efficient Euro 6 engines. 



Available for the CF and XF four-axle vehicles is the 12.9-litre PACCAR MX-13 engine with ratings of between 303 kW (412 hp) and 375 kW (510 hp) and the new 10.8-litre PACCAR MX-11 engine with a rating of 320 kW (435 hp). In addition, the CF is also available with the MX-11 engine with a rating of 291 kW (396 hp). 

An optional AS Tronic automated gearbox is available with specially developed gear shifting strategies for regular use over long distances, the transport of liquids, off-road applications or heavy haulage use. The transmission shifts more quickly so that speed loss is minimised when changing gears. Of course, a broad range of PTOs is available to ensure that the wide variety of bodywork and auxiliary equipment are driven efficiently. 


Of course, the new four-axle vehicles in the Euro 6 CF and XF series benefit from the many innovations that DAF has introduced on the other axle configurations: a new, attractive exterior and interior design, a completely new front wheel suspension and new, even more efficient axles. 


With the introduction of a series of four-axle rigids and tractors, DAF is expanding its wide range of CF and XF vehicles, with the purpose of offering a truck tailored for every application. 


Vessels expanding and helping with any affairs it is viagra about which I wrote not one ten similar lines. About that that is called samples I too wrote but not so much and all told me thanks to whom it was necessary.
