Experience the Future of Long-Haul Trucking with the New DAF XG and XG+
The future of long-haul trucking in Australia has arrived with the all-new DAF XG and XG+. These cutting-edge flagships set a new benchmark in performance, safety, efficiency, and driver comfort—without any compromise.
At Gippsland Truck Centre, we are excited to introduce these revolutionary trucks that promise to transform the Australian transport industry.
Unparalleled Comfort and Design
One of the biggest highlights of the DAF XG and XG+ is their cab design. As the first trucks to implement the new European cab design standards, they feature longer, more aerodynamic cabins that improve fuel efficiency and provide unmatched driver visibility.
The XG offers a single bunk, making it a fantastic option for long-haul drivers who prioritise efficiency and comfort. Meanwhile, the XG+ boasts a double bunk, catering to drivers who spend extended hours or even days in their cabs. The spacious interior ensures superior comfort, transforming the cab into a true home away from home.
Inside, drivers will find ergonomically designed seating, a retractable work table, multiple USB and 12V ports, and an adjustable bed with an electrically controlled headrest. These features are tailored to enhance productivity, rest, and overall well-being on the road.
Next-Level Performance with the PACCAR PX-15 Engine
The heart of the DAF XG and XG+ is the all-new 15-litre PACCAR PX-15 engine. Delivering 660hp and 3200Nm of torque, this lightweight yet powerful engine has been extensively tested over five million kilometres of Australian highway conditions to ensure exceptional reliability and efficiency.
With enhanced fuel economy, fleet operators can benefit from lower operating costs while maintaining peak performance under heavy loads. The PX-15’s intelligent design also reduces front axle tare weight, allowing for better load distribution and optimised range.
Advanced Engineering for a Smooth Ride
DAF’s commitment to superior ride quality is evident in the XG and XG+ through several advanced engineering features, including:
High-Performance Cooling System – Enhances airflow under the cab, ensuring the engine remains at optimal temperatures.
Advanced Air Management – Maximises fuel efficiency by optimising aerodynamics.
Effortless 16-Speed Transmission – Delivers smooth gear transitions for enhanced driving comfort and efficiency.
Proven Rear Axle and Suspension Solutions – Ensures stability, durability, and the ability to handle Australia’s toughest road conditions.
Safety First: Industry-Leading Active Safety Features
DAF has gone the extra mile in integrating state-of-the-art safety features into the XG and XG+ to ensure driver and fleet security:
Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) – Automatically detects both stationary and moving objects and reacts accordingly at speeds of up to 100km/h.
Lane Departure Warning System – Alerts the driver if the truck unintentionally drifts out of its lane.
Emergency Brake Lights – Provides an added level of awareness for surrounding vehicles in case of sudden braking.
Automated Electronic Park Brake – Activates when the engine is turn off or if the driver’s door is opened, preventing accidental rollaways.
Why the DAF XG and XG+ Are a Game-Changer for Australian Trucking
Thanks to PACCAR’s global collaboration with Cummins, the DAF XG and XG+ have been design specifically to meet the unique demands of Australian road transport. The combination of advanced engineering, cutting-edge technology, and unmatched driver comfort makes these trucks the ultimate choice for fleet operators and owner-drivers.
With increased fuel efficiency, reduced operating costs, high safety standards, and superior comfort, the DAF XG and XG+ truly set a new standard for modern trucking in Australia.
