DAF XG
range of trucks produced by DAF
The DAF XG is a range of trucks produced by Dutch manufacturer DAF Trucks since 2021. The XG was released as part of the New Generation DAF series, alongside the NGD XF and NGD XG+, winning the International Truck of the Year Award in 2022.
Drivetrain
The DAF XG comes in multiple layouts including 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4, rigid or tractor-only and support taglifts and midlifts. The XG tractor units can also be purchased with a 17.5 inch midlift axle to allow for extra weight saving and efficiency.
The XG is only available with an automatic ZF TraXon 12-speed gearbox and factory-limited to 90km/h (56mph). DAF do allow for unlocking to 100km/h (62mph) with software changes.
The XG range is exclusively available with Paccar MX-series engines, both Inline-6, with either Euro 3 (MX-13 only), Euro 5 or Euro 6 emissions standards. The NGD XG does not support an electric drivetrain from factory.
Cab Design
The DAF XG is the middle-ground between the New Generation XF and DAF's flagship truck, the XG+. The cab equals the XG+ in length at 2690mm but has a lower overall height of 2025-2075mm of standing room (versus 2145-2195mm).

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “DAF XG”, the useful work is to connect “range of trucks produced by DAF” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130719094. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021, 2022 and 2025.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
