On the road to zero emission transport

DAF LF Electric Innovation Truck

The DAF LF Electric is a 19- ton fully electric truck for zero emissions city distribution. The truck features Cummins technology with a 195-kW/266-hp electric

- tor is powered by a battery pack of up to 222 kWh, providing a range of up to 220 kilometers when the truck is fully laden. As the battery pack is modular, capacity can be scaled to the range required by customers. For city distribution the 220 kilometer range of the DAF LF Electric is ideal.

DAF CF Electric Innovation Truck

The DAF CF Electric is the ideal zero emission solution for urban distribution requiring higher payloads and volumes. This includes applications where single or double axle semi-trailers are the standard, such as in supermarket delivery.

DAF CF Hybrid Innovation Truck

The DAF CF Hybrid has been developed for driving electrically with zero emissions in urban areas, while offering a much longer range to operate beyond those urban areas, thanks to the latest, ultra-clean diesel technology. The combination of electric and diesel power ensures the high-

As part of their summer training, Car 2 raced in the Silk Way Rally, and Car 1 in the Rally Mongolia, which gave Hino Team Sugawara confirmation of the performance of their trucks. In the upcoming Dakar

The electric motor is powered by an 85-kWh battery pack, which allows for

to 50 kilometers, depending on the gross combination weight. The batteries can be charged by the diesel engine during on-highway operations, and by using a DC charger at a charging location. The vehicle is designed with a fast charge capability that takes

minutes for a charge of up to 80 percent.

Outside urban areas, the CF Hybrid is powered by the clean and efficient

The battery pack of the hybrid system powers the electric driveline, the electric air compressor, as well as the optional intelligent ePTO. The ePTO can be used to drive refrigeration equipment on semi-trailers for temperature controlled transportation further enhancing low noise operation.

Suspension

Hino Team Sugawara’s two 500 Series trucks each have completely different suspension systems. Car 1’s suspension was replaced with traditional multi-leaf suspensions, and Car 2 is equipped with tuned, next-gen taper-leaf springs. Although the characteristics of these suspension constructions may appear to be
