Elected ‘International Truck of the Year’ in 2002, the DAF LF Series has been a winner right from the start. With its modern and spacious cab design, low chassis weight for the highest payloads in its class, small turning circle for maximum manoeuvrability, easy cab access and car-like driving characteristics, the DAF LF Series is the ideal partner for city and regional distribution. More powerful engines, optional AS-Tronic automated gearbox, a subtle restyled exterior and upgraded interior design, make the new LF Series even more attractive than its award-winning predecessor. The new LF Series, designed to deliver.

The subtle exterior redesign gives the new LF a more sturdy appeal. The more pronounced upper and lower grille with aluminium strip to signify compliance with the Euro 4 emissions standard, the larger mirrors for wider view angles, and the cat’s-eye combi-lights, all give the LF a more modern look, without immediately outdating the previous model.

Inviting Interior
Open the door and you immediately experience the class of the new LF interior. In fact, the style and quality of the finish more resemble that of a top-quality passenger car. The colour schemes and materials used give the LF cab a nice and comfortable atmosphere. The new dashboard and modern instrument panel, the steering wheel with optional integrated controls and airbag, and the ergonomically placed handles and switches, all underline that creating a pleasant and ergonomic working environment were key drivers in the design process of the new LF Series. The newly designed overhead storage space now also houses the tachograph, so it’s well within reach and easy to operate.

The new LF now also features the striking
instrument panel from the XF105 flagship.
The tachograph is positioned in the
header shelf, which is more practical.

New Engines
The new four and six-cylinder PACCAR engines feature a larger swap volume for up to 20% higher output and torque. Remarkable for all engines is that both maximum performance and maximum torque are available over a wide range, resulting in greater flexibility and less gear-shifting. On top of all this, the engines are more fuel efficient, saving up to 4% on consumption.

The 4.5 litre four cylinder PACCAR FR engine is available in 140 hp, 160 hp and 180 hp versions, with torques of 550, 600 and 700 Nm respectively. The 6.7 litre six cylinder PACCAR GR engine offers 220 hp, 250 hp and 280 hp ratings, with impressive torques of 850, 950 and 1,020 Nm.

All new PACCAR FR and GR engines comply with Euro 4 emission standards without the need for a particulate filter, thanks to the high pressure common rail injection system and SCR after-treatment technology.

AS-Tronic Automated Gearbox

New for the LF Series, as an option, is the AS-Tronic automated version of the five available 6-speed gearboxes. The AS-Tronic control panel is located on the console next to the drivers seat. For special applications, the LF Series can also be equipped with fully automatic Allison gearboxes.

LF Chassis
The chassis is totally flat, so it is easy for the body builder. The chassis lay out optimises the available space and is already prepared to accept a variety of superstructures suiting a range of different applications.

The new DAF LF Series vehicles feature Selective Catalytic Reduction for achieving Euro 4 emissions values. SCR is the best and currently the only viable technology for both Euro 4 and Euro 5. SCR technology is simple, reliable and efficient. As SCR is an after-treatment system, it allows the most efficient combustion in the engine. Little wonder that most truck manufacturers in Europe have chosen SCR. And DAF goes even further. DAF SCR Technology comes with a whole new range of PACCAR engines. With optimised combustion for class leading fuel efficiency, performance, durability and reliability. The ideal foundation for low cost of operation and high resale values.

How does it work?
It’s simple and effective. Basically the exhaust gas aftertreatment system consists of a catalytic converter, a dosing unit and an AdBlue tank with at least enough capacity for the range offered by the fuel tank. The exhaust gases are lead through the Catalytis, where AdBlue is added. A chemical process takes place, resulting NOx emissions being broken down into harmless water and nitrogen. AdBlue consumption is between 0.5 and 1.5 litres per 100 kilometres.

The Adblue tank has a capacity of 26 litres.
This means that you do not have to fill the
Adblue tank more often than the diesel tank.
