Leyland Daf 95XF lip and blow rigs • This is the first official picture of the Leyland Daf 95XF first shown in Commercial Motor 10-16 October 1996. It will be launched at the Brussels Show in January.
Engines include a new 12.6-litre Dal unit which produces up to 476hp (355kW) and 1,5121bft (2,050Nm) of torque. It is mounted 100mm higher than the previous Daf 95 and uses fourvalves-per-cylinder technology with a highmounted
camshaft instead of an overhead unit.
There are three cab variants: the Comfort Cab, the Space Cab with a higher roof, and the extra-high Super Space Cab. All • BOCM Pauls has bought 16 EM Wilcox 38-tonne tipper/ blower trailers for its animal feed delivery service.
Triaxle running gear includes Fruehauf TA3 air suspension with lift-up front axle but for extra manoeuvrability, 12 trailers have Tridec hydraulic rear steer axles.
The stepped trailers have three full-depth partitions with five locking points for split loads of between 2.0 and 8.0 tonnes. Whereas standard Wilcox trailers achieve 24 tonne payloads, those with Tridec gear manage 23.5 tonnes.
The company's fleet includes one WBS trailer with Hosts rear steering equipment.
