Top power DAF is Barry Proctor's new flagship truck

摘要

A 510bhp mid-lift DAF XF105 is the new flagship for Stoke-on-Trent haulier Barry Proctor Services, which boasts a 24-strong fleet. The truck is equipped with the 12.9-litre MX engine, delivering full power at 1,500-1,900rpm. And with 2,500Nm of torque, this is a mighty tractor unit. As for the rest of the powertrain, the MX has been matched to an AS-tronic 12-speed automated transmission, with an engine and exhaust brake adding to safety and reducing wear on the service brakes. Beyond all that, managing director Barry Proctor points to the DAF Super Space cab, with its air conditioning, automatic temperature control, a fridge, microwave, six-speaker radio/CD player and a flat screen TV.
