BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL
behind DAF
DAF Trucks are renowned around the world for fuel efficiency, driver comfort, safety and low operating costs.
Designed and built to European standards, DAF trucks are proven in demanding transport environments and well suited to New Zealand operators looking for smart, efficient and productive heavy-duty truck solutions.
From regional delivery and distribution through to linehaul, freight, construction and specialist transport applications, DAF delivers the performance and reliability operators need while keeping total cost of ownership front of mind.
When you buy a DAF through Southpac Trucks, you get more than a truck. You get local support, genuine PACCAR parts, nationwide branch and dealer backup, trained technicians and a team that understands how to keep your business moving.
From specification and delivery through to servicing, parts and ongoing support, Southpac stands behind every DAF we put on the road.
DAF Models
Efficiency, Comfort and Safety.
The New Generation DAF range is built around three things: keeping fuel costs down, keeping drivers comfortable, and keeping everyone on the road safe.
All models run the same proven 530hp PACCAR MX engine. The difference is in the cab. The XF offers a compact 10.5m³ workspace, the XG steps up to 12m³, and the XG+ tops the range with a raised roofline and 12.5m³ of space for drivers who live on the road.
Every model is available across a range of configurations to suit your operation.

DAF. Over 95 years of innovation.
DAF has been building trucks since 1928, when Hub van Doorne opened a small construction workshop in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.
What started small has grown into one of the world’s leading truck manufacturers, with more than 95 years of innovation, quality and transport efficiency behind every vehicle.
From early DAF-branded engines to turbo intercooling, PACCAR MX power and today’s diesel and electric truck range, DAF has always pushed transport forward.
Now part of the PACCAR family alongside Kenworth and Peterbilt, DAF brings world-class engineering to New Zealand, backed locally by Southpac Trucks from Cape to the Bluff.
