DAF’s New CF and XF have been voted the International Truck of the Year 2018 by an independent jury of leading road-transport journalists from 23 European countries. The most prestigious honor in the European truck industry was awarded to DAF Trucks by Gianenrico Griffini, chairman of the jury at the Solutrans exhibition in Lyon.
The DAF New CF and XF feature completely new powertrains with highly efficient transmissions and rear axles. DAF also introduced new compact after-treatment systems, sophisticated software and aerodynamic optimizations. These innovations result in a fuel efficiency gain and CO2 reduction of an impressive 7 percent. Vocational configurations of the new trucks can achieve up to 300 kilograms in weight reductions, which further enhance the customer’s operating efficiency.
