The new shape Euro 6 DAF CF is the middleweight truck in DAF’s three-strong truck range. The CF has gross vehicle weights starting at 18 tonnes and going right up to 32 tonnes for the eight wheel operation and 44 tonnes as a 6×2 tractor unit.

On these pages you will find details of the new shape CF trucks launched in the UK for 2014 onwards. Buyers of older models should be looking at the older naming convention – there were CF 65, CF75 and CF85 trucks prior to 2014 – all of which running at Euro 5 or below.
Why buy a new-shape CF?
Designed for local and regional distribution tasks, the truck is available as a rigid or tractor unit. Whilst the cab is smaller than the DAF XF, there is still the option to specify DAF’s Space Cab for more room in case of nights out.
The CF sits above the Renault-cabbed DAF LF which is used for operation up to about 12 tonnes GVW.
Where the CF comes into its own is a value for money rigid for tipper operations. A reliable workhorse, the DAF technology is well proven and the dealer support in the UK is very good, as you would expect from the market leader.
The CF is available in a myriad of lengths, heights and wheelbase lengths and – best of all – is assembled in the UK in Leyland.
Since 2007, truck operators can buy ready-bodied DAF CF trucks from the factory, so keep an eye out for one of these in the used truck market. You won’t find tippers, but you still see 4×2 box and curtainsiders.
A solid choice – no transport manager ever got the sack for buying a DAF CF!

When buying a truck in the used market, it is good to know which year there was a facelift or a new engine launched. No point in spending the same money on an earlier model year when you can buy an upgraded version for the same money.
For example, not all 2014 DAF CF’s are the same – some could be Euro 5 and some Euro 6.
1992 – The Early 75 & 85 Series
The DAF CF range arose from the original 75 and 85 series DAFs launched back in 1992. Looking at the truck from this period, it is still instantly recognisable, using the same cab today.
1998 – DAF CF Series Launched
Three models replaced the outgoing 75 and 85 range. The CF was now available as the 65CF, 75CF and 85CF (note the numbering was different at launch – not an error here). It’s anyone’s guess about the numbering of the range – you may think that it was swept engine volume, but the 75CF came with a 9.2-litre and the 85CF came with the 12.6-litre that it shared with the larger-cabbed XF series.
2000 – New DAF CF Series Launched
Essentially a facelift, September 2000 saw the launch of the revised CF. This time the brand identity was reordered so it became the CF85 instead of the 85CF. The truck was fitted with the new 9.2-litre PE engine with 360hp.
2006 – New engines for Euro 4
To enable the CF to reach Euro 4 emission standards, DAF launched two new engines, the 9.2-litre PR engine to replace the PE from 2000 – this time with MX injection technology – still with outputs up to 360hp. The 12.6 litre engine now becomes the MX with power up to 510hp.
2008 – All DAF CF Available as EEV
DAF was the first truckmaker to make all of its trucks available as EEV (Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicles) – this includes the CF range.
2010 – DAF CF Tridem Available
Truck operators can now specify four axle 8×2 CF’s with one at the front and three at the rear – ideal for rear-mounted crane operation and for delivery to hard-to manoeuvre locations.
2013 – DAF CF Euro 6 Range Launched
Launched with much fanfare at the UK’s CV Show, the new CF range was not actually sold in Euro 6 form in the UK well into 2014. The new PACCAR MX11 engine features for the first time.
DAF dropped the use of the 65, 75 and 85 in the model designation. The CF range are now simply called CF… followed by the horsepower. So instead of the CF85.360 we now have the CF360. Simple.
Announced at the same time was the CF Construction range of trucks – DAF has not chosen a new brand for their on/off road offering like other manufacturers, (Volvo FMX, Mercedes Arocs, Renault Rand C and Range K) but extended the CF Range instead. The CF Construction has extra ground clearance plus a new tough look.
2015 CF Silent Models Launched
Not a huge seller but the CF silent operates at 72dBA – excellent if that’s your thing!
2017 – New Facelift for CF
Focusing on efficiency, the new CF had new driveline and improved aerodynamics – albeit on the original cab. DAF claim fuel improvements of up to 7% for the range.
2018 – Hybrid & Electric CF Concepts
DAF have both full battery and diesel hybrid versions of the CF with customers on trial around the Netherlands.

Latest DAF CF News
New DAF CF530 8×4 Recovery – Just £350k
Following last week’s news of a 340k DAF XF Wrecker going to Alpha Recovery, this week we get the news of a new £350k DAF CF recovery truck conversion delivered to North-west truck recovery specialist, Jackson’s Recovery. The 80-tonne DAF CF 530 eight-wheeler is the company’s new fleet flagship truck and will sit alongside their 17 year old DAF CF85.430 6x2 wrecker which is still working hard today.

DAF Trucks are growing their presence in the nationwide fleet of trucks belonging to National pump hire, rental and distribution specialist, Selwood with the addition of six new DAF CF trucks. Selwood used to favour a different truck manufacturer, but the experience of the trucks and the support of the dealer network has convinced the company to buy more DAFs. Fleet profile shifts in favour of DAF Trucks Three out of Four Axles Steering The trucks, supplied by Lancashire DAF in Preston, consist of 6x2 rear-steer 26-tonners and a four-axle 8x2 rear-steer. Selwood’s total fleet now includes 55 LGV trucks,…
But can you afford one? It is great news that UK operators can now order a fully electric, right hand drive rigid or tractor unit from the UK’s market leading truck manufacturer. Whether there are queues of early adopting buyers ready to take on the expense of one is quite another question. DAF are always realistic – they know that there won’t be orders for thousands of these trucks in 2021, but the availability of these trucks from March 2021 shows that they believe that we are all heading in this direction eventually. Simply the fact that the trucks are…
That’s the problem using superlatives like ‘Ultimate’ for branding your commercial vehicles as it leaves you with few places to go for the next best thing. Think the naming of the Mercedes cabs - is a Mega better than a Giga? What will come after DAF’s Super Space Cab? The 'Super-Dooper Space Cab'? If so, it would have to be followed by the 'Super Dooper Loop the Looper Space Cab'. So DAF have added a sticker and a couple of extra optional extras to the XF and CF range, calling it the ‘Ultimate’. If I were a gambling person, I…
New Era Fuel’s new DAF CF tanker looks like a proper moving billboard for HVO. There’s plenty of reasons to shout about it. To the uninitiated, HVO stands for enhanced Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil and can directly replace diesel in many trucks – including all the vehicles in DAF’s current line up. Mobile Billboard for the Alternative to Diesel Why replace diesel with HVO? According to the makers of Green D+ HVO, there is a 90% well-to-wheel reduction in CO2, an 86% reduction in particulate matter and a 30% reduction in NOX emissions. The DAF Tanker The new arrival on New…
