The New Frontier for Zero-Emission Haulage
DAF has officially launched its new XG and XG+ Electric trucks, marking a pivotal expansion of its zero-emission heavy-duty lineup. These models are engineered specifically for demanding regional and long-distance transport, a segment where electric propulsion has faced significant range and payload challenges. With their introduction, DAF is directly addressing the core needs of freight operators looking to decarbonize their most intensive routes.
Engineered for Maximum Range and Efficiency
The standout feature of the DAF XG and XG+ Electric is a remarkable range of up to 500 kilometers on a single charge. This capability is made possible by a new, highly efficient electric driveline paired with optimized battery technology. The trucks are built on a new generation platform, offering enhanced aerodynamics from their cab design and improved energy management systems. This focus on efficiency ensures that operators can meet the demands of full-day operations without compromising on payload capacity or requiring frequent charging stops.
A Complete Electric Truck Portfolio
The XG and XG+ models are not standalone products but strategic additions to DAF’s comprehensive electric vehicle family. They join the existing battery-electric XD, XF, and XB models, creating a complete portfolio that covers distribution, construction, and now long-haul logistics. This full-range approach provides transport companies with a seamless path to electrification across their entire fleet, from urban delivery to inter-regional freight.
The launch of these long-distance electric trucks signifies a major technological leap. It demonstrates that zero-emission transport is no longer confined to shorter, predictable routes but is ready to power the backbone of goods movement. By combining substantial range with the proven reliability of the DAF brand, the XG and XG+ Electric models are set to accelerate the transition to sustainable road freight.
