DAF launches interactive route simulator for electric trucks
DAF Trucks is launching an interactive route simulator that provides transport operators with insight into the real-world deployability of electric DAF trucks in their specific daily operations. Using customer-defined routes, the DAF Electric Route Simulator provides an initial indication of range and operational feasibility for all variants within the broad DAF Electric truck program.
The simulator reflects the modular design philosophy of the New Generation DAF XB, XD, XF, XG and XG+ Electric vehicles. All these EV trucks are available with multiple battery pack options, as well as a wide range of e-motors, axle configurations and cab variants.
The DAF Route Simulator shows how optimal vehicle specifications enhance the truck’s performance in daily use. Users of the simulator can adjust the number of battery packs, chassis configuration and vehicle weight to instantly view the calculated range and route viability. For detailed calculations and further advice, operators can contact a DAF dealer through the simulator directly, which has advanced software available for in-depth, detailed advice.
The simulator is part of DAF’s approach when it comes to electric transport. This includes among others, electric vehicle consultancy, charging infrastructure solutions via PACCAR Power Solutions, financing and leasing services, connectivity and fleet management tools, driver training and dedicated electric after sales and service support, through the professional dealer network throughout Europe and beyond, with well-trained mechanics and workshop equipment, specifically installed for maintaining electric vehicles
