DAF expands range with factory-built 10x4 chassis

To support a high payload (technical GVW of up to 52 tonnes) and excellent manoeuvrability, this new five-axle ‘FAF’ configuration features a rear tridem consisting of a dual-driven tandem and a lifting, steered trailing axle. DAF already offers a wide range of 4x2, 6x2, 6x4, 8x2 and 8x4 chassis. The addition further enhances the range. The new 10x4 FAF chassis is now available to order through DAF’s network of over 1,100 official dealers. A right-hand-drive model for UK customers will be available in 2026.

The five-axle chassis is equipped with two leaf-spring 8- or 9-tonne front axles and a 34-tonne tridem with air suspension. The tridem consists of a dual-driven tandem (available with either single or hub reduction) and a hydraulically steered, lifting trailing axle. This configuration combines high payload capacity with outstanding manoeuvrability.

The FAF chassis is offered with drivetrains featuring the PACCAR MX-11 and MX-13 engines and the automated TraXon transmission. Power outputs range from 300hp (220 kW) to 530hp (390 kW). The new five-axle truck is available with both XD and XF cabs.
