DAF LF

The LF45 and LF55 are powered by Cummins B Series engines. The distribution truck and pickup versions of the LF45 use the 4 cylinder, LF45s with powered equipment such as bin lorries and vacuum tankers use the 6 cylinder, and all LF55s use the 6 cylinder due to their increased size and weight. == Design ==

The XB shares its cab design with the Renault Midlum and the Volvo FL. It is also the base for medium duty trucks for Kenworth and Peterbilt. == History ==

The LF won the International Truck of the Year 2002 award. In 2024, the LF was discontinued and replaced by the new DAF XB. == Gallery ==

In September 2010, DAF introduced a hybrid version of the LF45 at the IAA 2010 in Hannover. The LF Hybrid has a 118 kilowatt diesel engine combined with a 44 kW brushless electric motor, which has a permanent magnet and is placed in line between the clutch and the automatic transmission. The electric motor is powered by 96 lithium-ion batteries of 3.4 Volt each, weighing a total of 100 kg. The battery pack allows the truck to drive for about 2 kilometres with the diesel engine turned off and to store energy from braking for future use. ==Notes==
