and CF ranges at next month's CV Show, Daf Trucks has confirmed the details of the Euro-6 engines that will power them.
While most CF tractors and multiwheel rigids will use the new 10.8-litre MX-11 engine, the LF models and the lighter CF rigid chassis will continue to be powered by Cummins-supplied ISB fourand sixcylinder common-rail engines.
These are rebadged for use in Dafs, with the new four-cylinder, 4.5-litre ISB becoming a Paccar PX-5, replacing the Euro-5 Paccar FR. The six-cylinder, 6.7-litre ISB in Dafs is dubbed the Paccar PX-7, replacing the Euro-5 Paccar GR.
The power and torque ratings of the new PX engines are comparable to the FR and GR engines they replace. However, they have a wider peak torque plateau for better flexibility and the highest rating of the six-cylinder PX is 310hp, a significant hike from Euro-5's 295hp. It is to be made in China instead of Darlington.
