The power of comfort
There’s a reason DAF trucks are recognised across the industry as the benchmark for driver comfort. Dashboard, seats, beds, driveline, suspension… It all adds up to the perfect setup. Not just for driving but also for resting, and daily admin.
Easy entry
You notice the difference the moment you climb effortlessly into the spacious cab thanks to the standard two-step entry. More than enough room to stand. Maximum space for storage. And seats you can adjust that bit further for an optimal driving position. There’s even room for an optional fridge, to keep drivers’ refreshments (and meals!) cool.
Superb spaciousness
The cab offers superb spaciousness to support drivers throughout their working day. With generous standing room, smart storage options, and a well-designed bunk area. The Sleeper and Sleeper High cabs feature the same large under-bunk storage found in all New Generation DAF vehicles.
State-of-the-art electric motors
The advanced DAF XD Electric trucks are powered by the efficient and reliable PACCAR EX-D1 and PACCAR EX-D2 permanent magnet e-motors, which offer outputs from 170 kW/230 hp to 350 kW/480 hp. To perfectly tailor these electric vehicles to your needs and application, a full range of battery packs is available, resulting in ‘zero emission’ ranges of over 500 kilometers on a single charge. As a result, through optimal vehicle and charging planning, the trucks can even realize an impressive 1,000 fully electric kilometers per day.
| Vehicle type | e-Motor | Engine output | Torque | # battery packs | Output battery pack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DAF XD Electric | PACCAR EX-D1 | 170 kW (230 hp) | 930 Nm | 2 to 5 packs | 210 kWh to 525 kWh |
| DAF XD Electric | PACCAR EX-D1 | 220 kW (300 hp) | 930 Nm | 3 to 5 packs | 315 kWh to 525 kWh |
| DAF XD Electric | PACCAR EX-D1 | 270 kW (370 hp) | 930 Nm | 3 to 5 packs | 315 kWh to 525 kWh |
| DAF XD Electric | PACCAR EX-D2 | 270 kW (370 hp) | 1370 Nm | 3 to 5 packs | 315 kWh to 525 kWh |
| DAF XD Electric | PACCAR EX-D2 | 310 kW (420 hp) | 1370 Nm | 4 or 5 packs | 420 kWh or 525 kWh |
| DAF XD Electric | PACCAR EX-D2 | 350 kW (480 hp) | 1370 Nm | 4 or 5 packs | 420 kWh or 525 kWh |
Superb aerodynamics
The extremely aerodynamic design of the XD Electric is an important factor in its excellent energy efficiency and operating range. The aerodynamic and tapered design of the cab, with its rounded corners and windscreen, and lack of seams and panel gaps, ensures the least possible wind resistance, which translates directly into the lowest possible energy consumption. The side skirts, deflectors, collars and aerodynamic bottom plate under the cab also play a role, as do the digital cameras that replace the mirrors.
Unmatched safety for drivers, co-drivers and other road users
Safety in the city was one of our top priorities when creating the New Generation DAF XD Electric. The low cab position, large windscreen, ultra-low beltlines and kerb-view window all combine to create the industry’s best direct view. At the same time, advanced tech like the DAF Digital Vision System ensures the optimum indirect view, while super-smart driver assistance systems and a special protruding bumper design contribute to a level of safety simply unmatched in its class. No wonder the XD was awarded a maximum 5 star rating in the Direct Vision Standard set by Transport for London.
Fast DC charging standard, AC charging optional
The New Generation XD Electric can be fast charged with powers up to 325 kW, allowing to boost a 3-string battery pack in just over 45 minutes from 0 to 80% of its capacity. Even the largest battery pack can be fully charged from empty to 100% in less than 2 hours.
Optional is an on-board charger with the capability of AC current charging of up to 22 kW. This provides highest flexibility to operate the vehicle, even in remote areas.
Supporting your transition to electric driving
Our DAF dealers support you with tailor-made sales advice based on advanced route simulation models for a smooth conversion to zero emission e-trucks. Furthermore, they offer operational support through a full array of premium PACCAR Chargers, perfectly tuned to the new XD Electric trucks.
The comprehensive range includes fixed charging solutions with powers up to 50 kW using standard AC current and up to 350 kW for ultra-fast DC charging. In addition, there are also mobile chargers available, providing maximum flexibility.

Bodybuilder friendliness
Thanks to flexible and modular packaging of the batteries on the chassis, the New Generation DAF XD Electric offers industry leading bodybuilder friendliness. Battery packs can be optimally tuned to the vehicle’s application, leaving ample space for side loader superstructures and crane legs for instance. A 650V e-PTO is available as an option for powering auxiliary equipment such as an electric cooling installation for temperature-controlled transport or an electro-hydraulic crane. This eliminates the need of a separate generator.
