DAF XG Plus 480
Unprecedented in terms of approach and shape, the DAF XG Plus 480 takes advantage of the new European Regulation on gauge limits that allows the lengthening of the cab as long as it complies with certain conditions such as safety of the driver and other road users. The truck boasts improved aerodynamic performance, reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.The DAF XG Plus 480 results from a design focused on efficiency, sustainability, safety and driver comfort. While relying on the experience gained with the XF Series, the project started from a blank sheet. The cab lengthened by 160 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear, together with a 3-degree sloping windshield and a careful study of airflow, has resulted in improved drag for the benefit of Cx reduced by 19%.Talking about safety, the glazed area of the windshield increased by 33% and that of the side windows by 15%, together with the innovative line of the Vision dashboard characterized by its elegant slant toward the windshield. The Corner View (in place of the door mirror and proximity mirror), the digital mirror system (cameras with folding arms), but also the Vision Door (the window in the passenger-side door), help to establish new standards in direct vision, raising the bar for safety.
Mercedes-Benz eActros
The very first electric truck developed by Mercedes-Benz is available in two versions, with of 3 or 4 batteries modules, each with 112 kWh of installed capacity. This means 336 or 448 kWh batteries, which give the eActros a range before recharging of up to 300 and up to 400 km. The truck features an actual technological plus that distinguishes its design as native electric. The vehicle has an electrified rear axle that integrates two motors capable of developing 400 kW peak power and 330 kW continuous power combined with the two-speed transmission. These solutions, combined with the Actros’ traditional features of robustness, reliability, functionality, ergonomics, and comfort, make the eActros a true leader among e-trucks. Not least, sustainability and a superior level of comfort are ensured in the case also by the absence in the cabin of any reverberation or annoying noise. Finally, the eActros complements, as a tradition in the philosophy and history of the Stuttgart-based manufacturer, a rich equipment of ADAS for the benefit of higher safety standards.
