About the DAF CF 65

The DAF CF 65 is a medium-duty distribution truck configured on a 4x2 axle layout with a 5400 mm wheelbase, powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine displacing 6693 cc and producing 220 hp, meeting Euro 5 emission standards. The drivetrain includes a manual gearbox, engine brake, retarder/intarder, and power take-off, making the CF 65 well-suited for demanding distribution and specialised transport cycles where auxiliary systems are required.

The CF 65 has a gross vehicle weight of 19000 kg and a payload of 9655 kg, since the net weight and gross weight are both rated at 19000 kg with a body weight of 6000 kg. The loading volume of 32.0 m³ is accessible via a loading area measuring 7300 mm in length, 2500 mm in width, and a loading height of 2400 mm, whereas the tank configuration features 2 compartments with a total volume of 7800 L and a lifting capacity of 16500 kg, making the vehicle well-suited for beverage and liquid-goods transport.

Safety and handling are addressed through ABS, ASR, EBS, ESP electronic stability control, and disc brakes across the axles. The suspension system combines spring and air elements with steering axles and front axle suspension, while driver comfort is supported by cruise control, power steering, hydraulics, and a day cab configuration.

When the CF 65 Is Not the Right Choice

The CF 65 is not suited for long-haul continental routes because its day cab configuration provides no sleeping accommodation, making extended overnight driving impractical.
Operations requiring gross vehicle weights above 19000 kg should look at heavier CF or XF series models, since the CF 65 is rated to 19000 kg GVW and cannot legally exceed this limit.
High-volume bulk dry-goods transport may find the 32.0 m³ loading volume restrictive, whereas longer-wheelbase rigids or articulated solutions offer significantly larger cargo capacities.
Routes with strict Euro 6 emission zone requirements are incompatible with this vehicle, therefore operators working in low-emission zones enforcing Euro 6 standards must select a compliant alternative.
