Range of up to 500 zero-emission kilometers
Developed for zero-emission distribution and vocational applications, the New Generation DAF XD and XF Electric vehicles are powered by efficient and reliable PACCAR EX-D1 and PACCAR EX-D2 electric motors. The powertrains are complemented by two to five battery packs with an output of up to 525 kWh. This enables a ‘zero-emission range’ of up to 500 kilometers on a single battery charge. The trucks can even cover up to 1,000 kilometers a day – fully electric – with an efficient charging strategy. The New Generation DAF XD and XF Electric trucks are produced in DAF’s new Electric Truck Assembly plant which was commissioned in April 2023.
