DAF’s New Generation XD and XF Electric trucks have been awarded ‘International Truck of the Year 2026’. Harald Seidel, president of DAF Trucks, received the most prestigious award in the truck industry tonight during an award ceremony at the Solutrans exhibition in Lyon, France. It is the third win for DAF in only 5 years’ time, after the New Generation XF/XG/XG⁺ and XD became ‘International Truck of the Year’ for 2022 and 2023.

In line with the rules of the International Truck of the Year (IToY) organisation, the title is awarded annually to the vehicle introduced in the previous 12 months that has made the greatest contribution to road transport efficiency. The assessment covers a range of criteria, including technological innovation, comfort, safety, drivability, energy efficiency, environmental performance and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Praised for exceptional efficiency

The jury of 23 leading commercial vehicle journalists from across Europe praised DAF’s XD and XF Electric truck series for their exceptional energy efficiency, refined yet powerful driveline, and advanced technical architecture. Furthermore, the award-winning vehicles were recognized for their long driving ranges, advantageous LFP battery technology, and superior driver comfort.

“During extensive test drives, jury members praised the XD and XF Electric for the perfection of their drivelines and the almost imperceptible gear changes. The modular vehicle concept, offering a wide choice of battery and axle configurations provide operators an exceptional flexibility”, commented Florian Engel, chairman of the International Truck of the Year jury. “With the new XD and XF Electric, DAF Trucks demonstrates that the combination of a central electric motor and a traditional rear axle can be at least as energy-efficient as a driveline with an e-axle. Moreover, this DAF configuration provides perfect weight distribution, enabling virtually all use cases to be covered by a single technical platform.”

Zero emission range up to over 500 kilometers

The XD and XF Electric trucks are powered by PACCAR’s advanced EX-D1 and EX-D2 e-motors, delivering outputs from 170 kW (230 hp) to 350 kW (480 hp). With modular battery packs ranging from 210 to 525 kWh, the 4×2 and 6×2 tractor and rigid vehicles offer zero-emission ranges of over 500 kilometers on a single charge, and even over 1,000 kilometers per day thought optimal charging planning.

DAF’s XD and XF Electric trucks are designed for both city and regional distribution and long distance applications, combining excellent aerodynamics with a low cab position, ultra-low window beltlines, and advanced digital camera systems for superior safety and visibility.

‘A moment of pride’

“Winning the International Truck of the Year 2026 with our XD and XF Electric models is a moment of pride for all DAF employees”, said DAF president Harald Seidel. “This recognition underlines our commitment to drive the future of zero-emission transport through innovation, quality, and sustainability. We are thrilled that the jury of leading commercial vehicle journalists acknowledges the vehicles’ efficiency, safety, and exceptional driver comfort. Receiving the most prestigious award in the truck industry is another recognition of the hard work of the entire DAF organization to deliver first class products and services to our customers.”
