The truck that’s built for the city

Meet our new family member: The New Generation DAF XB. Our new, sturdy and versatile truck. Whether you need a truck for distribution in urban locations, for specific city applications such as a refuse collector, or even on an inner-city construction site, the new DAF XB is your reliable workmate. And if you’re looking for a low noise, emissions-free truck for city use, you’ll be delighted with the XB Electric Version

Extremely agile

The new XB is a joy to drive. Thanks to the spacious yet compact cab design and the unique manoeuvrability and small turning circle, DAF’s new distribution truck is extremely agile, which is very important in dense city areas.

Unmatched driver comfort

The DAF XB cabs all have perfectly positioned entry steps, wide-opening doors and a low cab position for outstanding accessibility. The comfortable seats feature the same soft-woven upholstery as the DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ trucks, with which the XB also shares the high level of fit and finish, the new steering wheel and the eye-catching 12-inch digital display on the dashboard.

Outstanding direct vision

Outstanding direct vision is realized by the low cab positioning, the large windscreen and side windows and their low window belt lines. As an option, a Kerb View Window is available for an unobstructed view on other road users on the co-driver’s side. The slim design of the new mirrors allow for the perfect combination of direct and indirect view.

Excellent bodybuilder-friendliness

Highest payloads

Powerful diesel performance

The new DAF XB is available with 4.5 litre 4-cylinder PACCAR PX-5 and 6.7 litre 6-cylinder PACCAR PX-7 engines with outputs from 124 kW (170 hp) to 227 kW (310 hp). Both modern and powerful engines develop peak torque at low engine speeds, supporting down-speeding and class leading fuel efficiency. The PACCAR PX-5 and PX-7 engines are ready for the application of HVO, reducing CO2 emissions with up to 90% (‘well-to-wheel’).

PACCAR PX-5

  • 124 kW / 170 hp | 700 Nm @ 1.100 - 1.700 rpm
  • 139 kW / 190 hp | 750 Nm @ 1.200 - 1.700 rpm
  • 153 kW / 210 hp | 800 Nm @ 1.300 - 1.700 rpm

 

PACCAR PX-7

  • 167 kW / 230 hp | 900 Nm @ 900 - 1.800 rpm
  • 189 kW / 260 hp | 1.000 Nm @ 1.000 - 1.700 rpm
  • 212 kW / 290 hp | 1.100 Nm @ 1.100 – 1.600 rpm
  • 227 kW / 310 hp | 1.200 Nm @ 1.200 – 1.500 rpm

 

PowerLine automatic gearboxes

The DAF XB with PX-5 and PX-7 engines are offered in combination with a 8-speed, fully automatic PowerLine transmission, which offers optimal gear spread and steps. Powershifting without any torque interruption enables smooth shifts and quick throttle response, resulting in outstanding comfort and driveability. In addition, the transmission provides excellent low speed manoeuvrability thanks to the urge-to-move feature upon releasing the brake pedal.

6- and 9-speed manual transmissions are also available for the DAF XB series, while fully automatic Allison gearboxes can be ordered for special applications.
