DAF is successfully expanding its electric vehicle range with the introduction of the new XG and XG+ Electric models. They share the same DNA as the XD and XF Electric, named “International Truck of the Year 2026”, thanks to their refined drive systems, advanced LFP battery technology and superior driving comfort. The new XG and XG+ Electric also stand out with the most spacious cabins available on the market.

DAF's range of fully electric trucks offers tailor-made solutions for any type of application.

The program includes the models XB Electric of 12, 16 and 19 tons for urban distribution.

The beds in the XG and XG+ cabins have an impressive width of 80 centimeters across, a level of comfort that has no equal on the market.

Powerful and refined propulsion system

The models XG and XG+ Electric are equipped with the most powerful electric motor PACCAR EX-D2.

It develops between 270 and 350 kW (370–480 hp) and a maximum torque of 2,400 Nm.

The compact propulsion unit consists of two separate electric motors.

Coupled to an integrated transmission with three steps, which ensures smooth gear changes and exceptional operating comfort.

Modular battery system for maximum flexibility

NEW DAF XG and XG+ Electric can be equipped with 3 to 5 battery packs.

Modularly mounted on the chassis, depending on the vehicle application.

The 5-pack battery configuration allows for a battery life of over 500 km without emissions on a single charge.

With optimal route and load planning, the XG and XG+ Electric models can cover over 1,000 km fully electric per day.

Making them very suitable for international use as well.

This impressive range is the result of the high efficiency of the propulsion system. PACCAR EX-D2.

Of the DAF intelligent battery management system and the vehicle's aerodynamic design.

The aerodynamic shape of the cabin, almost seamless, with a curved windshield, contributes significantly to reducing drag.

Aerodynamics are further improved by the use of side skirts, deflectors, optimized wings and digital cameras instead of classic mirrors.
