DAF 105 460 is a full-size tractor introduced in 2005. The model is in high demand and is DAF's flagship model. It belongs to the premium class long-haul tractors and also has a large number of awards. In particular, the DAF 105 460 received the prestigious award at the Truck of The Year competition. Sales of the model on the Russian market began in 2006. It should be noted that the car is the successor to the popular DAF XF 95 tractor, which was produced until 2007. The updated vehicle received high-tech engines and equipment, as well as a high level of comfort and increased load capacity. The DAF 105 460 meets more modern standards and regulations and is also equipped with a technologically advanced transmission.

Fuel consumption for Daf 105 460 details about fuel consumption

In the model range of every automaker there is a flagship with the most powerful engine. The Volvo FH16 can be considered the flagship model not only of VolvoTrucks, but of the entire European truck industry: it is the most powerful production truck on the continent. Having created the Volvo FH16-750, it overtook its closest competitor, Scania, by 30 horsepower. Of course, such a powerful (750 hp) and expensive truck cannot be widespread: carriers do not need such powerful equipment. Unless we are talking about transporting some particularly large construction equipment and indivisible cargo. Ordinary trucks for such a tractor will be just toys. Therefore, in mass production, Volvo FH16 engines have not so monumental engines. Details below.

Currently, the Volvo FH16 is presented on the market in various modifications. These are diesel engines of varying power - from 400 to 750 hp, chassis options - 2 or 3 axles. And the “highlight” of the new generation “Volvo FH16” is the independent front suspension on double wishbones IFS (it will be discussed below, in the corresponding section of the review). However, there are also traditional options, with a transverse beam, which, in turn, are divided into suspensions made on two- or three-leaf springs, as well as on semi-elliptical or pneumatic cylinders.

For transportation on general roads, at normal speeds, modifications with a 4x2 wheel arrangement are usually used as part of a road train. Volvo FH16 truck tractors with a 6x4 wheel arrangement are designed for transportation of large-sized cargo by road trains with a total weight of up to 85 tons. It is possible to order four-axle trucks of this brand to work with even heavier semi-trailers. In this modification, the total weight of the road train can be increased to 100-120 tons.

What are the differences between the 95XF and the XF95?

They can be easily distinguished even just by their appearance. The first version has the full designation 95XF on the right side of the cabin, while the second has only the letter XF left, and it is already on the left. The radiator grille of the first version was completely straight, while the newer one has a slightly beveled lower part.

The side deflectors of the older car had an elongated shape, while on the successor they became shorter, but due to the optimal aerodynamic shape they were more efficient - not only the door handles, but also the side windows were no longer dirty. Changes have occurred in the headlights: they have become narrower. An additional opening was made in the plastic lining of the headlight to improve the airflow of the lower stage.

There are no less internal differences. Firstly, this is a completely new chassis. Modernized diesel engines that meet Euro-3 standards began to be installed on it, instead of the previous Euro-2. The maximum torque was increased by 50 Nm, which is especially useful for carriers who regularly operate this equipment in areas with hilly and mountainous terrain.

In addition to the 16-speed ZF Servoshift manual transmission as standard, you can now choose an electronically controlled 12- or 16-speed ZF AS Tronic transmission for an additional fee.

Drum brakes gave way to ventilated disc brakes both front and rear, and made the process of slowing down and stopping the road train noticeably more efficient. The EBS (Electronic Brake Sytem) dual-circuit braking system with a pneumatic drive received automatic clearance adjustment functions. The interior has also noticeably improved. Along with the modified instrument panel, the manufacturer began to use more expensive and high-quality plastic finishing materials.

2. lane departure warning function;
3. fatigue warning system that monitors pedal movement and steering wheel position. If the driver deviates from the specified trajectory, an audible signal sounds to warn the driver;
4. directional stability function that compensates for driver errors;
5. adaptive cruise control that maintains distance.

Almost every second car owner is dissatisfied with fuel consumption. Sometimes this difference in numbers leads to serious disagreements within the transport company: both between the driver and the boss, and when accounting for fuel by the accounting department. Owners dissatisfied with high fuel consumption are ready to take any measures to ensure that consumption becomes adequate! Our experience in repairing DAF vehicles shows that often the culprit for increased fuel consumption is not a vehicle malfunction at all! In this article we will try to look at various factors that can increase fuel consumption.

·

Factors influencing consumption:

• Terms of Use;
• Number of axles and gear ratio;
• Incorrect tachograph calibration;
• Low fuel quality;
• Ecological class of the engine;
• Driving style;
• Serviceability of the tractor and trailer.

·

terms of Use

The DAF company produces a large number of models to perform any task, be it: long-distance or international transportation, ensuring delivery within the city, garbage collection, transportation of construction materials, etc. In all of the above cases, fuel consumption will differ significantly, because we are talking about different operating conditions. For example, when working in a sand quarry, average fuel consumption can reach more than 100 l/100 km. But as soon as this dump truck drives onto a paved road, the consumption will decrease to 40...50 l/100 km.

The same applies to international and intercity transport: when driving on flat terrain and smooth asphalt, consumption will not exceed 32 l/100 km (4x2 tractor with 20 tons of cargo). However, when driving in mountainous areas, consumption can reach 40 l/100 km or more. The degree of vehicle loading also plays a huge role: while a loaded road train will consume about 30...32 l/100 km, one DAF XF105 tractor without a trailer will cover the same distance with a consumption not exceeding 18 l/100 km.

·

Number of axes

Most DAF cars in Russia have a classic 4x2 wheel arrangement. If the buyer needs a car to transport heavier loads, there are a large number of other modifications in the model range: 6x4, 6x2, 8x4, 8x2, etc. But it is always worth remembering that an additional axle will always lead to an increase in rolling resistance, and as a result, an increase in fuel consumption. The increase can reach +3...5 l/100km for each additional axle.

·

Rear axle gear ratio

For different operating conditions, DAF has provided various rear gear ratio options: from 2.53 to 3.73 (for long-haul tractors). A correctly selected gear ratio can have a significant impact on average fuel consumption. For driving on smooth European roads with a high average speed, it will be much better and more economical to operate a car with a 2.53 high-speed gearbox.

If the driving speed is not very high, for example in mountainous areas, a car with a high-speed gearbox will be extremely uncomfortable, which will negatively affect fuel consumption. The value may increase by 5l/100km. In this case, it will be much more effective to use a gearbox with a gear ratio of 3.31 or 3.73. However, this option will also be expensive if such a tractor is used on highways.

·

Tachograph calibration

In addition to monitoring the driver’s work and rest schedules, the tachograph plays an important role in calculating the distance traveled by the vehicle. When installing tires of a different size, or excessive wear on old wheels, the distance traveled may be displayed with a very large error, which in turn can greatly affect the estimated fuel consumption. Practice shows that more than half of all cars are operated with an incorrectly calibrated tachograph, while about 15% have a very large error. The solution to the problem is to calibrate the tachograph after replacing the tires at the nearest tachograph service center.

·

Fuel quality

Despite the numerous promises of many gas stations about the high quality of fuel, in most cases, it leaves much to be desired. In pursuit of savings and reducing the cost of one liter of diesel fuel, almost the entire periodic table is added to it. Unfortunately, such experiments lead to a variety of consequences: smoke, difficulty starting the engine, weak traction, high consumption. Therefore, if problems arise with the fuel system, the first thing you should do is make sure that high-quality fuels and lubricants are poured into the car.

·

Ecological engine class

With each new generation of cars, engines become more technically advanced and efficient. For example, modern PACCAR MX engines, which are installed on the DAF XF105, have electronically controlled pump sections and injectors. At the same time, the electronics continuously monitor and check the temperature and pressure of all fluids in the engine, ensuring ideal operation in all modes. This technical advancement allows the engine to operate more efficiently and more economically than previous XE engines, but this fuel consumption advantage is negated by the need to meet stringent Euro5 emissions requirements. This trend is observed among all European truck manufacturers. First of all, the dynamics deteriorate: most DAF 95XF Euro2 owners will note a much weaker car responsiveness to the accelerator pedal on the DAF XF105 Euro5. The influence of environmental standards is especially pronounced at extreme temperatures, according to European standards. So, at minus 30 or +40 degrees, a fully functional car stops developing full power, while consuming up to 50 l/100 km. The reason is environmental friendliness, which in Europe is considered more important than average fuel consumption.

·

Driving style

Modern diesel engines have a clear boundary between economical and uneconomical operating modes. These modes depend on the speed at which the movement occurs. Frequently operating the engine at speeds beyond the green zone on the tachometer will lead to a significant increase in fuel consumption. For the same reason, automatic transmissions on DAF vehicles can often reduce fuel consumption only through the correct selection of the required gear.

General rule: the highest gear, 16th, is the most economical. The more often a car drives in a given gear and shifts less frequently, the lower the fuel consumption. It is to ensure this rule that the correct choice of gear ratio of the rear axle gearbox is so important.

In addition, engine power also plays an important role: more powerful engines allow you to use higher gear more often, thereby helping to reduce fuel consumption.

It is also worth considering factors such as speed limiter settings and use of cruise control: driving at speeds below the standard 90 km/h using cruise control will reduce the need to visit gas stations. And reducing the limiter to 85 km/h will lead to a reduction in consumption by 2 l/100 km

·

Technical condition of the car

Regardless of the brand, type of engine and transmission, if there are serious malfunctions in the car, fuel consumption can increase significantly!

The same thing, but to a much lesser extent applies to the age and mileage of the car. There are often cases where owners either do not know about the malfunctions or continue to operate. Therefore, if you are concerned about fuel consumption, it is worth conducting computer diagnostics and checking the fuel equipment at the nearest DAF service center. And make sure that the original filters are used on the car.

Modifications

The car brands in question are two almost completely identical cars, visually similar to each other.

The only noticeable difference is the saddle height. For the 410 model it is 1,140 mm, for the 460 it is 1,150 mm.

The most important differences lie inside the trucks - these are engine types, which differ significantly in their power and, accordingly, other parameters:

• XF 105.410 – PACCAR MX300 410 l. With.;
• XF 105.460 – MX ATe EcoDrive 460 l. With.

The number of required refueling tanks of the models differs quite significantly, as well as fuel consumption for every 100 km of travel - the total amount of horsepower affects it.

Since we touched on fuel efficiency, it’s worth pointing out specific figures - costs for diesel fuel, taking into account the winter standard of 33 liters per 100 km introduced in November, for the reporting quarter amounted to 380,600 rubles. Lighting, turning and running lights use LED technology, which reduces energy consumption and the risk of accidents.

DAF XF105.410 4X2: changing engine settings 15:22, April 30, 2014 Print version

Winter, having exhausted all its “administrative resources” with snow and cold, did not create any problems for the DAF XF105.410 truck tractor, which the Avtopark magazine has been monitoring since April last year. Closer to spring, the operator decided to change the engine settings to increase power. What this upgrade gave the carrier is described in today's report.

Meeting our ward in the park turned out to be quite a difficult task: having barely returned from Novosibirsk, the hitch was preparing to be loaded into Omsk. For a carrier, this mode of operation is the norm. The main niche of the Vesta company is the transportation of everyday goods, and mileage in winter is no less than in summer - the same 15 thousand km monthly. Today, the truck’s odometer shows 162 thousand km; additional confirmation of these figures is provided by satellite monitoring data, which dispatchers check with daily.

The third quarter of our observations in terms of operating costs did not bring anything unexpected. When the mileage exceeded 150 thousand km, our client visited the service station of an official DAF dealer to undergo regular maintenance. Recently, he has been increasingly using the services of the DAF technical center in Tolyatti. There are two reasons: firstly, the convenient location (large company warehouses are located near Samara, the city is considered a hub), and secondly, regional prices, which are significantly inferior to Moscow. For example, the last invoice for the entire scope of work on TO-3 (150,000 km), including oil and filter changes, was issued in the amount of 11,000 rubles. It is worth making a reservation here that some consumables (for example, a dryer filter) were not included in this amount, since the driver brought them with him. In general, the company tries to operate according to the following scheme: purchase all filters and consumables from a dealer in bulk (for example, through the Intertransservice online store), store them in a warehouse and issue them as needed. For reference:

the total cost of To-3 for DAF XF105.410 is approximately 17,000 rubles.

Now about the engine settings. Initially, the maximum power of the power unit was limited to 410 hp. s., but the few months that have passed since the start of operation have shown that the truck is too weak for an assault on the Ural Mountains. Considering the capabilities inherent in the engine control unit, the operator decided to add another 50 hp to the original level. With. No amateur performances! All electronic upgrades were carried out by specialists at the DAF branded service station, the warranty is maintained. The costs for one car amounted to 10,000 rubles. The price is wholesale, since the agreement provides for the reconfiguration of all 410-horsepower DAFs in the operator’s fleet.

So, according to the driver, the car has become more dynamic, “with a load of 20 tons, it rushes up the mountain as if empty.” On the other hand, there is a deterioration in efficiency, especially when running empty. However, this did not affect the fuel consumption rate; according to the winter standard, diesel fuel is written off at the rate of 33 l/100 km. Our ward has not yet gone beyond the established limits, but some of his colleagues, who immediately put forward an “ultimatum” on fuel, had to return the original engine settings.

By the way,

The carrier mentions fuel and its low quality in the regions, including inconsistency with the season, at every opportunity.

The updated vehicle received high-tech engines and equipment, as well as a high level of comfort and increased load capacity. The DAF 105 460 meets more modern standards and regulations and is also equipped with a technologically advanced transmission.

Instead of a resume

Seven years have flown by, a successor has long been plying its way along European autobahns, by the way, also available on our market, and now I’m going to drive a legendary tractor, which drivers really love for its space and comfort, and it’s impossible that nothing has changed since 2009 th. The braking system of the Daf HF 105 models has a specific feature: the presence of a special brake motor with a power of 210 kW, which allows braking at high speed in different road conditions.

Chassis

The truck has no reinforcement of the side members; the load is set at 5-10% by the factory, but the structure itself is so strong that this figure can be exceeded. To build the chassis, alloy steel is used, which is characterized by high strength and it is because of this that it is possible to achieve such results in loading the side members.

Dimensions:

• length – 862 cm;
• width – 249 cm;
• height – 370 cm;
• wheelbase – 380 cm;
• rear overhang – 99 cm.

Between the power elements there is a 60-centimeter closed profile, which also gives the entire base more strength. Wide plastic mudguards were attached to the chassis, well protecting the body from dirt.

The cast iron system of traction equipment is no less reliable. This system will be well known to knowledgeable people - it is Jost JSK37. The electrical network is connected via a 7-pin connector transmitting 24V voltage.

Characteristics of towing equipment:

• height – 150 mm;
• base plate thickness – 26 mm;
• kingpin diameter - 2 inches;
• maximum vertical load – 20 tons;
• load value – 152 kN.

Steering, Braking and Control Project Partners

• 45-liter refrigerator;
• heating system;
• two sleeping places;
• microwave;
• air filtration during climate control;
• a huge number of niches for small things.

Transmission and Axles • Upgraded I-Roll system allows for significant fuel savings.

Designed for maximum driver comfort

The Daf XF105 modification 460 is equipped with the MX ATe EcoDrive engine, which is not only distinguished by high power, but also meets strict environmental safety requirements. The engine power is 460 horsepower at 1500 – 1900 rpm. The engine capacity is 12.9 liters and is characterized by economical fuel consumption. The automatic shutdown system operates within 5 minutes when the vehicle is idling.

Engine

The DAF XF105 is equipped with PACCAR power units of various capacities. A fundamentally new MX 300 engine was developed for this model. Thanks to the use of innovative SCR technology, the level of harmful emissions was significantly reduced. The Dutch manufacturer claims that the engines of the PACCAR family meet the most stringent standards in terms of durability, efficiency and reliability.

The service interval of a truck power plant when using synthetics is 150,000 km, when using mineral oils - 90,000 km. In Russian conditions, this figure is reduced to 60,000 km. The advanced unit ensures smooth running and the necessary power indicators. An optimized injection system, a unique exhaust manifold (fully isolated) and new pistons significantly reduce fuel consumption.

The engine has 6 cylinders arranged vertically and is turbocharged.

Device

The design of the truck ensures driving with a high level of safety. This is facilitated by huge solid windows and mirrors that have received an improved design. They are located in such a way that the appearance of blind spots is almost completely eliminated.

The car is equipped with directional stability systems, optionally equipped with adaptive cruise control, a forward collision warning system, as well as an emergency braking system (the function is included in the set of standard options; even the starting equipment of the DAF XF 106 tractor is equipped with it).

Attention! Optionally, along the perimeter, LED side lighting is installed on the car - this makes the car clearly visible and reduces the likelihood of accidents on poorly lit sections of the highway.
