Hexagon gets first look at the New Generation DAF

DAF’s new line up of trucks was unveiled at a recent launch event hosted by Motus Commercials and DAF Trucks, attended by Hexagon’s MD Mark Fletcher and Head of Operations Sam Armstrong.

The new XF, XG and XG+ trucks boast the latest technology, increased interior driver space and comfort, and up to 10% improved fuel efficiency as well as a reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Featuring a high-quality cab design to boost aerodynamics and safety, as well as digital cameras and a DAF connect fleet management system, the New Generation DAF trucks will begin production in October. 

Mark Fletcher said: “We had a great time at the launch event and were very interested in checking out how DAF have implemented the new European Masses and Dimensions regulations and getting an insight into DAF’s vision of the future with their new line up of trucks.”

The new XF, XG and XF+ are the first trucks on the market to fully benefit from the New European Masses and Dimensions regulations, allowing longer truck cabs.  The XG has an extra 330mm of length behind the B-pillar, and the XG+ adds another 200mm of roof height, meaning 12.5cu m of interior space – 14% more than DAF’s previous Super Space Cab.

Looking ahead, the new generation DAFs have also been designed for the latest bio and renewable e-fuels to further decarbonize road transport and are a ready platform for future zero emissions.

Mark added: “If anyone is interested in adding a Next Generation DAF to their fleet, please get in touch with us to find out more.”
