Powershifting without any torque interruption enables smooth shifts and quick throttle response, resulting in outstanding comfort and driveability. In addition, the transmission provides excellent low speed manoeuvrability thanks to the urge-to-move feature upon releasing the brake pedal.
6- and 9-speed manual transmissions are also available for the DAF XB series, while fully automatic Allison gearboxes can be ordered for special applications.

The result: significantly shorter lead times and optimal body-to-chassis harmony, boosting overall DAF Transport Efficiency.
The ex-factory PACCAR body offering includes Box Bodies, Curtain Siders, and Aerobody variants, with multiple options for length, tail lifts, side and rear doors, lighting, and much more. All these variants are available for the 12t chassis of the DAF XB series. Enjoy the benefits of one order, one contact, and full vehicle warranty - all in one reliable package.
