DAF introduces XG and XG+ Electric
DAF is expanding its successful series of electric vehicles with the introduction of the XG and XG+ Electric.
They share the same DNA as the XD and XF Electric, which were voted ‘International Truck of the Year 2026’ on the basis of their refined powertrains, advantageous LFP battery technology and superior driving comfort.
The new XG and XG+ Electric also boast the most spacious cabs on the market.
DAF says its range of fully electric trucks offers tailor-made solutions for every conceivable application. The program features the 12, 16 and 19 tonne XB Electric for urban distribution, the XD Electric for urban and regional distribution and the XF Electric for longer haulage.
The new DAF XG and XG+ Electric represent the next level in driver comfort. Their cabs are 33 centimetres longer than the already spacious XF and, combined with the extra height, this results in an unsurpassed working, living and sleeping environment with a total volume of 12.5 m3 and a standing height of up to 2.2 metres. The beds in the XG and XG+ are 80 centimetres in width along their entire length.
The XG and XG+ Electric are driven by the most powerful PACCAR EX D2 electric motor, with outputs from 270 to 350 kW (370 to 480 hp) and a torque of 2,400 Nm. The compact powertrain unit consists of two separate electric engines combined with an integrated transmission with three gears that delivers smooth gear-shifting and supreme comfort.
The DAF XG and XG+ Electric can be fitted with three to five battery packs, with modular positioning on the chassis, depending on the vehicle’s application. The five-battery-pack option allows for up to over 500km on a single charge.
With optimal vehicle and charging planning, the XG and XG+ Electric can cover over 1,000 fully electric kilometres per day, making both very suitable for international usage.
DAF equips the XG and XG+ Electric with the newest generation of LFP batteries, which come with an eight-year warranty. The batteries are both cobalt- and nickel-free, have a high thermal stability and can be charged daily up to 100 per cent without compromising their durability. A battery configuration with three packs can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just over 45 minutes, according to DAF.
