DAF paints the town red at RTX

DAF Trucks painted the town red at RTX this year – specifically ‘Flame Red’, the company’s new corporate colourway for its latest model-year ’25 trucks.

Three vehicles featured on DAF’s outdoor stand, complementing the company’s main indoor stand which focused on its zero-emissions electric vehicles.

– New Generation DAF model-year ’25 trucks presented in striking Flame Red

– XG ‘FTT’ 6×4 heavy-hauler, XDC construction 8×4 feature on DAF’s outside stand

– XB Electric 19-tonner rounded off DAF zero-emissions trucks at RTX

– Additional Ride & Drive vehicles include XG+ tractor and XDC eight-wheeler

Revealed towards the end of 2024, DAF’s latest New Generation vehicles feature a raft of upgrades introduced to all New Generation DAF vehicles at the end of 2024, including optimised drivelines, aerodynamic enhancements and a range of advanced driver assistance systems, resulting in an impressive fuel efficiency improvement of an additional three per cent.

Optimised driveline efficiency is achieved through new engine valve timing, a dual drive coolant pump and a two-cylinder clutched air compressor. Turbocharger and EGR systems have also been updated. New fuel injectors are also said to deliver excellent efficiency, reliability and durability.
