DAF renews the LF- and CF-Series
Following on from start of production of the new DAF XF105 in January 2006, series production of the renewed DAF LF and CF Series will start in May.
These are characterised by a completely new programme of state-of-the-art PACCAR engines with DAF SCR Technology for Euro 4 and Euro 5, an optimised chassis layout, a new interior design and an even more modern appearance. The LF, which is available in Euro 4 version and the CF, which is available in Euro 4 and Euro 5 version, are ready for the next successful step. One of the important development criteria for the renewed LF and CF Series were the strict Euro 4 emission requirements, that will come into force in October 2006, and which will be followed in 2009 by even stricter Euro 5 requirements.
The renewed LF and CF Series use the SCR technology, the best and currently most economical solution for meeting the Euro 4 ánd Euro 5 emission requirements. Here, AdBlue is injected into the exhaust gases, so that in the DeNOx catalytic converter the nitrogen oxides are converted into the harmles substances nitrogen and water. SCR technology is relatively simple and thus extremely reliable and efficient. Because this emissions after-treatment technology has no effect on the engine, the engine settings can be optimised to achieve ideal combustion and low fuel consumption. However, DAF SCR technology goes even further.
The introduction of DAF SCR Technology coincides with the introduction of a completely new series of PACCAR engines that set the standards in terms of fuel consumption, reliability and service life. All engines use an advanced high-pressure fuel-injection system for the highest possible efficiency and the lowest possible emission of particulate matter. To meet the strict requirement of 0.02 grams per kW/h, is achieved without a soot filter being required on the new LF and CF Series.
