On the engine front, the DAF 4.5-litre four-cylinder PX-5 and the 6.7-litre six-cylinder PX-7 have both enjoyed a full redesign, removing the need for EGR and enabling the previous variable geometry turbo to be exchanged for a far simpler wastegate version. The 3.8-litre PX-4, originally introduced as a simpler, SCR-only engine for the LF City, has been quietly dropped from the line-up, as has the less popular 148bhp version of PX-5, but otherwise horsepower and torque remain roughly the same as previous iterations. There is up to a 3% improvement in fuel efficiency to be had with the new engines as well, when they're combined with the new SCR aftertreatment system, but DAF has chosen not to make a song and dance about it. The LF is principally used by those in the urban multidrop game, where there isn't, perhaps, the same level of obsession with such things as the long haul market, plus the removal of EGR has meant a slight increase in AdBlue consumption. |
