The power of safety
Designed around the driver, the DAF XD sets a new standard for safety in metro and regional environments. The low cab position, large windscreen, ultra-low beltlines all combine to create the industry’s leading direct view. At the same time, advanced features like the Corner View Camera further enhance visibility, helping drivers stay aware of pedestrians, cyclists, and traffic in every direction.
No wonder the XD was awarded a maximum 5 star rating in the Direct Vision Standard set by Transport for London.
LOW BELTLINES
& LARGE WINDSCREEN
Components are packaged behind
the grille and below the dashboard
to create the lowest possible beltlines
for the windscreen and side windows.
VISION DASHBOARD
Provided as standard, the new
Vision Dashboard slopes steeply
down to the windscreen on the
passenger’s side. Letting you take
full advantage of the extra-low
beltlines.
DAF CORNER VIEW
A camera replaces kerb
and frontview mirrors.
Providing a larger field
of vision and clear view
of the area around
the passenger side.
HANDS ON THE WHEEL, EYES ON THE ROAD
Drivers need to be focused on the road, alert for pedestrians, cyclists and vulnerable road users. The New Generation XD design embraces DAF’s ‘hands on the wheel, eyes on the road’ philosophy. Driver’s primary functions are controlled from the steering wheel or column stalks. For example, the TraXon gearbox controls, digital display, audio system and phone, everything is at the driver’s fingertips. Secondary functions are operated via ergonomically designed and conveniently placed dashboard switches.
SMART SAFETY TECHNOLOGIES:
The XD’s many active safety features include, warning on screen in blind corner, Brake Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Emergency Brake Lights and DAF Turn Assist. Plus new additions like DAF Electronic Park Brake for smart control, a Low-Speed Trailer Brake for safe coupling and uncoupling, and Park Brake Assist for enhanced braking power when needed.
The power of comfort
Step into the benchmark of driver comfort. The spacious DAF XD cab is designed around real-world driving needs, with two-step easy entry, outstanding visibility, and intuitive controls. Dashboard, seats, beds, driveline, suspension. It all adds up to the perfect setup. Not just for driving but also for resting, and daily admin.
The power of efficiency
From engine and driveline optimisation to aerodynamic design, every element of the XD is built for efficiency.
The powerful MX-11 engine delivers exceptional performance for numerous regional and metro applications, combining robust power with excellent fuel economy. Offering lower emissions and refined driveability, making your fleet more productive and sustainable.
