DAF enhances its electric range with the new XG and XG+ Electric

Following the international launch of the renewed electric truck range (here’s our report from Eindhoven, dating back to October 2025), DAF enhanced its electric range with the addition of the brand-new XG and XG+ zero-emission models.

Technically speaking, 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 motors combined with an integrated transmission with three gears that delivers smooth gear-shifting and supreme comfort. Similarly to the XF and XD models, the new trucks can be fitted with 3 to 5 battery packs, with modular positioning on the chassis, depending on the vehicle’s application.

DAF XG and XG+ Electric: trust in LFP battery types

As for the batteries, just like the other fully battery-electric vehicles, DAF equipes 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% without compromising their durability. A battery configuration with three packs can be charged from 10% to 80% in just over 45 minutes.

Finally, the new DAF XG and XG⁺ Electric are available as a 4×2 tractor and 6×2 rigid chassis with a steered trailing axle. Lately, their cabs are 33 centimetres longer than the already spacious XF. The sleeping environment reaches a total volume of 12.5 cubic metres and a standing height of up to 2.2 metres.The beds in the XG and XG⁺ are an impressive 80 centimetres in width along their entire length.
