DAF CF 65 210 Specs & Technical Data

About the DAF CF 65 210

The DAF CF 65 210 is a 4x2 medium-duty distribution truck powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine producing 212 hp and classified under Euro 2 emission standards, making it well-suited for regional freight operations where payload density and vehicle accessibility are prioritised. The gross vehicle weight is 18200 kg, whereas the net weight stands at 9120 kg, therefore delivering a payload capacity of 11250 kg across a loading area 4000 mm long, 2400 mm wide, and with a loading height of 700 mm.

The CF 65 210 is equipped with either a manual or automatic gearbox and features spring suspension on both axles, since this configuration provides consistent load handling on varied road surfaces. Steering axles and a differential lock are included, contributing to manoeuvrability in urban environments and traction on low-grip surfaces respectively. ABS and drum brakes are fitted as standard, because these components meet the braking requirements typical of vehicles in this gross weight category.

The day cab configuration keeps overall vehicle height at 3600 mm and total length at 7000 mm, while the 2500 mm width places the CF 65 210 within standard European lane constraints. A power take-off is available, making the platform well-suited for body-mounted equipment such as cranes or compactors. With a lifting capacity of 8500 kg and a 4000 mm wheelbase, the vehicle offers a stable and functional base for a wide range of rigid body applications.

When the CF 65 210 Is Not the Right Choice

• The CF 65 210 is not suited for long-haul operations requiring overnight rest facilities, because the day cab provides no sleeping berth, whereas sleeper-cab variants are necessary for multi-day routes.
• Operations subject to current low-emission zone regulations in European city centres may be restricted since the CF 65 210 is rated Euro 2, therefore fleets operating in Euro 5 or Euro 6 mandatory zones should consider a newer platform.
• Loads exceeding 11250 kg payload or requiring a gross vehicle weight above 18200 kg cannot be accommodated, making the CF 65 210 unsuitable for heavy-duty applications that demand a higher GVW category.
• Applications requiring air suspension throughout are not served by this vehicle, since the CF 65 210 uses spring suspension, whereas temperature-sensitive or fragile cargo often demands full air suspension for vibration control.
