Meet our new family member: The New Generation DAF XB. Our new, sturdy and versatile truck. Whether you need a truck for distribution in urban locations, for specific city applications such as a refuse collector, or even on an inner-city construction site, the new DAF XB is your reliable workmate. And if you’re looking for a low noise, emissions-free truck for city use, you’ll be delighted with the XB Electric version.
1 / 5
The new XB is a joy to drive. Thanks to the spacious yet compact cab design and the unique manoeuvrability and small turning circle, DAF’s new distribution truck is extremely agile, which is very important in dense city areas.
2 / 5
The DAF XB cabs all have perfectly positioned entry steps, wide-opening doors and a low cab position for outstanding accessibility. The comfortable seats feature the same soft-woven upholstery as the DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ trucks, with which the XB also shares the high level of fit and finish, the new steering wheel and the eye-catching 12-inch digital display on the dashboard.
3 / 5
Outstanding direct vision is realized by the low cab positioning, the large windscreen and side windows and their low window belt lines. As an option, a Kerb View Window is available for an unobstructed view on other road users on the co-driver’s side. The slim design of the new mirrors allow for the perfect combination of direct and indirect view.
4 / 5
The chassis of the XB series features a new grid pattern for excellent bodybuilder-friendliness. New are pre-defined chassis lay-outs with repositioned fuel tanks, exhaust systems, batteries and air tanks, specifically meant for road sweepers and tippers.
5 / 5
Low kerb weights result in highest payloads for optimal return per kilometre. Best-in-class vehicle efficiency is also realized through the extensive range of wheelbases (up to 6.9 metres) and chassis lengths, allowing over 9 metres superstructures. This ensures the best vehicle configuration for the job.
Powerful diesel performance
The new DAF XB is available with 4.5 litre 4-cylinder PACCAR PX-5 and 6.7 litre 6-cylinder PACCAR PX-7 engines with outputs from 124 kW (170 hp) to 227 kW (310 hp). Both modern and powerful engines develop peak torque at low engine speeds, supporting down-speeding and class leading fuel efficiency. The PACCAR PX-5 and PX-7 engines are ready for the application of HVO, reducing CO2 emissions with up to 90% (‘well-to-wheel’).

PowerLine automatic gearboxes
The DAF XB with PX-5 and PX-7 engines are offered in combination with a 8-speed, fully automatic PowerLine transmission, which offers optimal gear spread and steps. Powershifting without any torque interruption enables smooth shifts and quick throttle response, resulting in outstanding comfort and driveability. In addition, the transmission provides excellent low speed manoeuvrability thanks to the urge-to-move feature upon releasing the brake pedal.
6- and 9-speed manual transmissions are also available for the DAF XB series, while fully automatic Allison gearboxes can be ordered for special applications.
