DAF XD 370 Specs & Technical Data

About the DAF XD 370

The DAF XD 370 is a 4x2 distribution truck powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine displacing 10837 cc and producing 367 hp, therefore making it well-suited for regional and urban freight operations where a balance between power and manoeuvrability is required. The drivetrain includes an automatic gearbox, since this reduces driver fatigue on multi-drop routes, while the Euro 6 emission class confirms compliance with current European exhaust standards via a diesel particulate filter.

Structural dimensions place overall length at 9140 mm, width at 2550 mm, and height at 3510 mm, with a 5100 mm wheelbase that provides stable load distribution. The loading area offers 6800 mm in length, 2480 mm in width, and a loading height of 2200 mm, making the XD 370 well-suited for standard europalette configurations. Gross vehicle weight reaches 18000 kg, whereas the net weight of 9773 kg results in a payload capacity of 9727 kg.

The chassis is equipped with air suspension on both axles, because this improves ride quality and reduces stress on cargo compared to steel spring alternatives. Front axle suspension is confirmed, and the braking system uses disc brakes throughout. Safety systems include ABS, ASR, EBS, ESP electronic stability control, an engine brake, and cruise control, since this combination supports both operational efficiency and regulatory compliance on long distribution cycles.

When the XD 370 Is Not the Right Choice

• Operations requiring a gross vehicle weight above 18000 kg are not supported, because the XD 370 is rated to a maximum of 18000 kg GVW and cannot legally carry heavier combined loads in this configuration.
• Long-haul overnight routes are poorly matched to this vehicle, since the cab type is a day cab without sleeping provisions, making extended driver rest periods on board impractical.
• Applications that require a tri-axle or 6x2/6x4 chassis are not served, because the XD 370 is built exclusively on a 4x2 two-axle platform, therefore limiting axle-load distribution options on heavy or uneven terrain.
• Operators in regions mandating alternative fuel or zero-emission compliance zones may find the XD 370 unsuitable, since it runs on diesel only and does not offer an electric or hybrid powertrain option.
