Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Engines: 12 9-1Flm6cy1,360hp/1,775Nm,410hp/2,0DONm,460hp/2,300Nm,510hp/2,500Nm Transmissions: ZEBspd manual, 9spd manual, 16spd manual; 12spd automatic Chassis: 4x2, 6x2, 60 twin-steer, 6x4 Hard to knock the CF85, as it's a proven and much-decorated winner domestically and across mainland Europe. It's been with us for 15 years and has seen several rencarnations.

The Dutch beefed up the SCR Euro-4/5 driveline to 12.9 litres with more horsepower and torque for the six available axle configurations from 4x2 to 6x4. 0F85 fits nicely into a versatile market that requires power as it offers 360hp, 410hp, 460hp and 510hp.

The engine brake is one of the strongest in the marketplace, and should keep the services breaks going longer than usual. Its a UKspecific truck with strong sales and residuals.

Uninspired specifications by operators leave the used market full of identical motors, but an independent affiliated dealership network seems to cope well enough. Daf might find the CF85 near impossible to replace successfully when the bell f inally tolls.
