DAF LF is a range of trucks designed, developed and assembled by Leyland Trucks, and marketed worldwide under the DAF brand name.
The LF45 and LF55 are powered by Cummins B4.5 and B6.7 engines respectively, and the LF shares its cab with the Renault Midlum and the Volvo FL. It is also the base for medium duty trucks for Kenworth and Peterbilt.
The LF won the International Truck of the Year 2002 award.[1]
[edit] LF Hybrid
September 2010, DAF introduced a hybrid version of the LF45 at the IAA 2010 in Hannover[2][3]. The LF Hybrid combines a 118 kiloWatt diesel engine with a 44 kW brushless electromotor. The electromotor has a permanent magnet and is placed in line between the clutch and the automatic transmission. The electromotor is powered by 96 lithium-ion batteries of 3.4 Volt each, weighing a total of 100 kg. The battery pack allows the truck to drive about 2 kilometer without the diesel motor and to store energy from braking for future use[3][4].
