Daf says the new model is an extension to its heavy truck range and will be built alongside its Euro 3 counterpart, the XF95. Daf will continue supply of the XF95 as long as there is demand up to the compulsory introduction date for Euro 4.
The new XF105 features a restyled exterior, an entirely new interior design, a new chassis lay out and the new 12.9-litre PACCAR MX engine, available in both Euro 4 and Euro 5 specifications. Daf says the XF105 will enter production in the first quarter of 2006.
The XF105's Super Space Cab gets a new roof, a restyled upper grille and a new lower grille that has been integrated with a new steel front bumper. The cab interior features new styling, colours and materials. New door panels with stylish fabrics have been included with improved storage space. There is a new instrument panel and dashboard, with integrated parking brake.
A new steering wheel is now available with integrated controls for functions such as cruise control, down-hill speed control and mobile phone, while other important functions, including those of the AS-Tronic automated gearbox, are controlled with easy to reach steering column stalks. The engine tunnel has been lowered to 15 cm to achieve a semi-flat floor. The result is a standing height on the engine tunnel in the Super Space Cab of 2.10m.

The XF105 for long distance and heavy haulage features a restyled exterior, an entirely new interior design, a new chassis lay-out and the new 12.9 liter PACCAR MX engine, available in both Euro 4 and Euro 5 specifications. DAF?s XF105 sets new standards in terms of quality, efficiency and transport performance as well as in interior design, comfort, ergonomics and drivability.
