Used DAF LF55.250 Specifications Overview
Powertrain and Chassis Engineering
The DAF LF 55.250 (Euro 5) features a 6.7L inline-six diesel engine based on Cummins B Series architecture, delivering 250 hp and 950 Nm torque. It uses SCR-only aftertreatment for NOx reduction, enabling a straightforward design without EGR. Chassis configurations support GVW ratings from 18,000 kg to 21,000 kg, utilizing a 6,000 kg-rated front axle and a 10,500 kg-rated rear axle. Front parabolic leaf springs and rear ECAS are typical, ensuring effective load handling. Wheelbase options (3.45–6.25 m) allow for a wide range of body applications and up to 10.3 m overall length. Braking is provided by dual-circuit, air-operated ventilated disc brakes (375 x 45 mm), with ABS and optional ASR; a 165 kW engine exhaust brake supports deceleration on descents.
Transmission Variants and Driveline Evolution
The LF 55.250 predominantly employs 6- or 9-speed manual gearboxes, with ZF AS Tronic AMT and Allison full automatics offered for urban duty cycles. The introduction of the ZF PowerLine 8-speed automatic (2022) enables torque interruption-free shifting and an "urge-to-move" low-speed creep function. Lock-up clutch engagement and wide ratio spread (4.89–0.64) optimize fuel efficiency. Later PX-7 engines utilize a CGI block for reduced weight and increased durability, supporting Euro 6 compliance, 1,000 Nm torque, and HVO fuel compatibility.
Bodybuilder Adaptability and Electrical Architecture
The LF 55.250's flat upper chassis frame, with under-rail packaging, enables straightforward body installation. The 50-mm grid pattern along the chassis simplifies mounting without structural compromises. CAN-bus electronic architecture and a 16-pole HDSCS (A152) connector support seamless integration of auxiliary systems. DAF's TOPEC software streamlines bodybuilder configuration by calculating axle loads and turning radii in advance. Factory Aerobody, box, and curtainsider options are also available, covered under a unified warranty.
Cab Design and Driver Environment
Cab options include Day, Extended Day, and Sleeper variants. Features include air-suspended Isringhausen seat, pneumatic steering column, one-touch climate control, and extensive interior storage. The post-2017 facelift brings refreshed trims, a redesigned DIP with DPA for fuel coaching, and optional Kerb View Window for enhanced urban visibility. Digital dashboard and ADAS, such as AEBS-3, Move-Off Assist, Drowsiness Detection, and EDR, further support operational safety and compliance with evolving GSR II regulations.
