Following the international launch of the renewed electric truck range, DAF enhanced its electric range with the addition of the brand-new XG and XG+ zero-emission models.
Technically speaking, the XG and XG+ Electric are driven by the most powerful Paccar EX‑D2 electric motor, with outputs from 270 to 350 kW (370 to 480 hp) and a torque of 2,400 Nm. The compact powertrain unit consists of two separate electric motors combined with an integrated transmission with three gears that delivers smooth gear-shifting and supreme comfort. Similarly to the XF and XD models, the new trucks can be fitted with 3 to 5 battery packs, with modular positioning on the chassis, depending on the vehicle’s application.
DAF XG and XG+ Electric: trust in LFP battery types
As for the batteries, just like the other fully battery-electric vehicles, DAF equipes the XG and XG+ Electric with the newest generation of LFP batteries, which come with an eight-year warranty. The batteries are both cobalt- and nickel-free, have a high thermal stability and can be charged daily up to 100% without compromising their durability. A battery configuration with three packs can be charged from 10% to 80% in just over 45 minutes.
Finally, the new DAF XG and XG+ Electric are available as a 4×2 tractor and 6×2 rigid chassis with a steered trailing axle. Lately, their cabs are 33 centimetres longer than the already spacious XF. The sleeping environment reaches a total volume of 12.5 cubic metres and a standing height of up to 2.2 metres.The beds in the XG and XG+ are an impressive 80 centimetres in width along their entire length.
