Few countries around the world present the same range of challenges as those posed in Australia. The country we call home features vast hot deserts, challenging mountain ranges, difficult urban driving in major cities, and extremes of temperature and humidity..
Fortunately, Netherlands-based DAF designs and builds trucks specifically crafted to excel anywhere in the Australian environment. That means that the engine and other systems can handle high temperatures, mountain roads, and other challenges that might slow or even stop other brands of trucks.

The LF From DAF The DAF
LF is designed for versatility in a variety of environments, and offers premium agility in tight spaces. This stout and capable transportation vehicle is surprisingly nimble. DAF’s engineers gave the LF series superior wheel angles. Newer models have the tightest turning radius in this class of trucks. Driving through tight downtown streets, hairpin curves, or compact construction sites will be a cinch with the DAF LF.
Another feature that reflects the truck’s compatibility with confined spaces is the strong galvanised steel bumper. Low intensity accidents will leave little or no damage to this protective measure.
DAF designed the LF for superior performance. This is reflected in DAF winning “Truck of the Year” three straight times at the Commercial Fleet Awards held in the United Kingdom.
Additionally, the Czech Republic also recently honoured the DAF LF series with “Top Light Truck of the Year.” The most popular LF models include the DAF LF45 and DAF LF55.
The CF Series
The CF Series comes in two types, the DAF CF 75 Series and DAF CF 85 Series. Both of these vehicles sport a stylish exterior with a rugged design capable of handling the toughest conditions Australia can throw at them.
DAF designed its CF line of trucks for superior versatility. It promises reliable performance and durability in every essential category from power to cab comfort.
The truck also can capably perform in a wide range of jobs. Around Europe and across the world, fire departments depend on its speed and agility to navigate city streets despite its size. Its power and torque also make it perfect for waste hauling and large scale distribution needs.
DAF CF series trucks also make effective tippers and ice and snow scrapers. Need a vehicle for longer transport assignments? DAF CF series vehicles also function perfectly as prime movers. Each DAF truck, regardless of size and capability, comes with excellent fuel economy for its size and class.
DAF did not leave out the needs of drivers when it designed the CF series. It offers superior cab space, enhanced windshield visibility, and incredible comfort for those performing both short and long hauls.
Most of our new and pre-owned DAF CF series vehicles come with a 460 horsepower 13- litre Paccar Euro 5 engine, sleeper cab options, and automatic transmission.
DAF takes tremendous pride in the performance and the popularity of its flagship series of trucks, the XF 105. It serves as Europe’s first choice for long haul trucking, PUP trailer configurations, and more.
The XF 105 reflects DAF’s passion for making the most comfortable and top-performing trucks across Europe and around the world. This award-winning vehicle, often referred to as one of the best “drivers’ trucks,” is designed for long haul capabilities in Australia’s demanding conditions.
If you need to take a load 4,000 km from Sydney to Perth in extreme temperature and weather conditions, DAF has built a truck for you. The design team has also incorporated superior agility for a truck this size.
The XF 105 series trucks can nimbly navigate through urban environments as well as it hauls loads for thousands of kilometres. The XF 150 also offers lower driving costs, including for fuel, than in many other trucks of this size and configuration. Lower operating costs help to give fleet managers and independent truckers a competitive advantage.
