Chassis

Innovation for safety and efficiency.

Strength in versatility

The chassis offers virtually unlimited possibilities in terms of layout, whilst its low unladen weight allows for high payloads. Its high rigidity provides excellent driving characteristics. The chassis is also completely flat and its components are located internally wherever possible. The perfect base for every conceivable body type or application.

Extremely strong, robust cab structure

The New Generation DAF trucks have a completely new and extremely strong, robust cab structure that protects against impact on all sides. At the front, energy-absorbing crash boxes are integrated for maximum protection. Crash zones in the back of the cab protect against moving loads, keeping the working place of driver safe. The roof has been reinforced to maximally protect the cab occupants in case of a roll over.

ProCaDis Safety System

DAF’s unique and patented Programmed Cab Displacement System (ProCaDis) is allowing a 400 millimeters XD cab displacement on the chassis during a front collision, to absorb the energy and prevent the cab from detaching. As a result, ProCaDis maintains the cab structure and maximizes the survival space for vehicle occupants.

Easy body installation as standard

DAF’s close collaboration with leading European bodybuilders results in industry-leading bodybuilder-friendliness, including predefined ‘Plug and Play’ options. Furthermore, software integration enables simplified data sharing and communication between vehicle and superstructure allowing a perfect integration of controls, signals and warnings.

CoDeS Safety System

DAF’s Controlled Steering Column Deformation System (CoDeS) ensures that the steering wheel moves away from the driver, for instance in the case of a trailer-back collision. The driver’s knees are protected by impact absorbing zones in the dashboard of the New Generation XD.
