DAF CF Electric has achieved 93,000 electric miles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The DAF CF Electric has achieved 93,000 electric miles, which is almost four times around the world.<\/p>\n

It has been one year since the first CF Electric was delivered and DAF has gained lots of experience with its six electric trucks on the road. This has resulted in a version that is internally referred to as ‘Phase 2’ and has a new generation of software and a new dashboard.<\/p>\n

Richard Zink, member of the Board of Management said: “We have now reached the point where we can start to sell the CF Electric in limited numbers.<\/p>\n

“Think of a few dozen units on an annual basis. In order to guarantee excellent quality, we start up production in a controlled way. Simultaneously, we can thoroughly build up our service network, step-by-step. The CF Electric tractor unit is now available for customers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia. Depending on the local battery charging infrastructure and after-sales possibilities, sales in other parts of Europe will be considered.”\"i\"<\/p>\n

The CF Electric has a range of approximately 100 kilometres, making it suitable for transporting high volumes within urban distribution.<\/p>\n

Co-director of Tinie Manders Transport Eveline Manders, said: \u201cThe CF Electric is as reliable as any other DAF truck”.<\/p>\n

“You have to make sure that the route fits the truck – and not the other way around.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in order to optimally use the truck, it is important that you can charge the batteries during loading and unloading.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you take these two matters into account, the electric truck can be a great alternative for urban distribution<\/p>\n

Recently, apprentice Mathew Hands, from DAF Dealer Brian Currie in Bedford, has emerged victorious at the national WorldSkills UK National Final at the NEC, winning a gold medal.<\/p>\n
