New Generation DAF Electric
Driving zero emissions
Leading the way
Several cities have announced that in the coming years they will only allow zero-emission vehicles into their city centers in order to improve local air quality. This means that fully electric trucks have a bright future. DAF offers a full range of vehicles and dedicated affiliated services to support you to make the transition.
The right zero emission solution for a suite of applications
DAF is leading the way in Battery Electric Vehicles, or BEVs. In 2018, DAF was the first to have introduced a full battery electric CF truck on the market, of which many are in daily operations with customers.
In the meantime, DAF has introduced a full range of Battery Electric trucks, providing the right zero emission solution for a suite of applications. By planning intelligently and by recharging the batteries when the opportunity arises – sometimes as little as half an hour is enough – it is already feasible to cover 1,000 electrical kilometers per day. This illustrates the significant steps that are made regarding battery capacity and ranges.
