The Daf is equipped with a TruckDrive 56 5.6-tonne steer axle fitted with disc brakes as standard and TruckDrive 8.20 8.5-tonne drive axle. The axles are designed to take 19.5in wheels and the Albion compact driving head. It is also the first Albion axle to use hypoid gearing.
The TruckDrive range has been designed principally for rigid applications between six and 18 tonnes GVW. Among the drive axles there will be one lighter model than the 8.20 and three heavier. It is expected that the complete range will make its debut at the Scottish IRTE Show in the autumn.
