135 www.autosubindustry.comFTG and FTN Electric: 6x2 tractors with steered pusher or trailing axle The DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric are now also available as 6x2 tractor for heavy-duty applications. The FTG chassis is equipped with either a steered or non steered pusher axle, while the FTN always features a steered trailing axle. An electric truck with an FTG configuration is unique in the truck industry and ideal for transport in which extra payload and an optimal axle load ratio are important. This makes the FTG suitable for heavy duty distribution applications, as well as for instance the transport of construction materials. The steered pusher axle also guarantees the highest level of yard friendliness.If maximum manoeuvrability is also required in addition to a high payload, then the FTN is the ideal choice. With its steered trailing axle, this tractor is perfect for urban distribution and transport in which a vehicle has to perform many different manoeuvres.Both the FTG and FTN models of the DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric are equipped with the powerful PACCAR EX-D2 engine, with outputs ranging from 270 kW (370 hp) to 350 kW (480 hp). The FTG with pusher axle comes with three battery packs as standard, while the FTN with trailing axle offers the choice of three, four and even five packs for zero-emission ranges of over 500 kilometres on a single battery charge.The fact that the DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric are able to accommodate GCWs of up to 50 tonnes, means that electric EcoCombi versions are also possible. FAS Electric: 6x2 rigid with trailing axle DAF%u2019s programme of fully electric rigids already includes not only 4x2 (FA) models but also 6x2 models with a steered pusher (FAG) or a steered trailing axle (FAN). Specifically for applications that require a high static payload, DAF is now introducing the electric 6x2 FAS rigid with a GVW of up to 28 tonnes.The FAS features a double-mounted trailing axle with a load capacity of 10 tonnes. This makes it ideal for tippers and trucks with demountable container systems where the entire weight of the load is resting briefly on the third axle during loading and unloading. As an option, a liftable third axle is available to reduce limit energy consumption and tyre wear.The fact that the DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric are available as FAS models with 3 to 5 battery packs makes them suitable for a wide variety of uses, thanks also to the wide range of outputs offered by the PACCAR EX-D1 and PACCAR EXD2 e-motors: from 170 kW (230 hp) to 350 kW (480 hp). Zero-emission ranges of over 500 kilometres are now possible, depending on applications and the number of battery packs.FAT and FAW Electric: 6x4 and 8x4 rigids with double driven tandemFor use in the construction industry and other heavy-duty applications that require double driven tandems, DAF is now expanding the XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric range with 6x4 FAT and 8x4 FAW models.
