DAF launches the XG and XG+ Electric into series production

Technical architecture and performance

The XG Electric and XG+ Electric are equipped with the PACCAR EX-D2 drivetrain, available in two power outputs: 270 kW (370 hp) and 350 kW (480 hp), with a maximum torque of 2,400 Nm. The driveline is powered by up to five modularly mounted lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries on the chassis. Depending on configuration, the vehicles achieve zero-emission ranges exceeding 500 km. Both models are available in several chassis configurations tailored to the demands of long-haul transport.
The XG+ cab offers an interior volume of up to 12.5 m³, making it the segment benchmark for driver liveability: workspace, rest area and bunk. The aerodynamic body design directly contributes to overall energy efficiency. The XG and XG+ Electric share their platform with the XD and XF Electric, jointly named "International Truck of the Year 2026" for their drivetrain efficiency and driver comfort.

With these two new models, DAF covers the full electric spectrum, from the 12-tonne XB for urban distribution to the XG and XG+ tractors dedicated to full long-haul operations.

Hellmold & Plank, first series-production operator

The first 350 kW XG+ Electric leaves Eindhoven for Hellmold & Plank, a family-owned logistics provider based in Gießen (Germany) and in operation for 122 years. The company integrates this tractor into a DAF zero-emission fleet already operating on shuttle and pharmaceutical supply applications. Charging is handled by PACCAR equipment, enabling full vertical integration of the electric drivetrain within their operations.

Harald Seidel, President of DAF Trucks, states that this launch "underlines DAF's commitment to providing zero-emission solutions for a wide range of applications", adding that operators such as Hellmold & Plank demonstrate the operational performance of the electric range in everyday logistics use.
