• Daf will launch three new models at next month's Amsterdam truck show, all suffixed CF and with many design features used on its more powerful 95XF models. These include the cab enhancements normally found on the "Extra Forte" XF; the new models are badged CF for "Compact Forte".
The 85CF gains the 340, 380 and 430hp versions of the 95XF's 12.6-litre straight-six fitted with the Daf Engine Brake.
The 75CF gets an allnew 9.2-litre engine in 250, 290 and 320hp variants; the 320 boasts significantly more torque than its 75.300 predecessor.
Daf's 65CF rigid comes in 210 and 240hp ratings with the latter featuring a new controlled-bypass turbocharger for congested city operation.
Li Leyland Daf is launching a new all-steel high-roof sleeper cab for the 45 and 55 Series designed by Leyland Trucks. Overall interior height has been increased by 230mm to 1,630mm, giving more headroom and an extra 480 litres of storage. It weighs 100kg more than the day cab and costs £2,430.
