The XG was released as part of the New Generation DAF series, alongside the NGD XF and NGD XG+, winning the International Truck of the Year Award in 2022.[\[1\]](#cite_note-1) DAF XG Line-Up DAF XG 420 FT Low Deck The DAF XG comes in multiple layouts including 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4, rigid or [tractor-only](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor_unit "Tractor unit") and support taglifts and midlifts. The XG tractor units can also be purchased with a 17.5 inch midlift axle to allow for extra weight saving and efficiency. The XG is only available with an automatic ZF TraXon 12-speed gearbox and factory-limited to 90km/h (56mph). DAF do allow for unlocking to 100km/h (62mph) with software changes.[\[2\]](#cite_note-:0-2) The XG range is exclusively available with [Paccar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paccar "Paccar") MX-series engines, both [Inline-6](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-six_engine "Straight-six engine"), with either Euro 3 (MX-13 only), Euro 5 or Euro 6 [emissions standards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_emission_standards "European emission standards"). The NGD XG does not support an electric drivetrain from factory. The DAF XG is the middle-ground between the New Generation XF and DAF's flagship truck,[\[2\]](#cite_note-:0-2) the [XG+](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XG+?action=edit&redlink=1 "XG+ (page does not exist)"). The cab equals the XG+ in length at 2690mm but has a lower overall height of 2025-2075mm of standing room (versus 2145-2195mm). The New Generation cabs are longer than previous models, allowed by new European laws,[\[3\]](#cite_note-3) and claim to be the optimal vehicle design. This also introduces DAF's Air Fenders and Aero Seals in order to increase fuel efficiency by up to 10%.[\[4\]](#cite_note-4) The XG can be optioned with DAF's Digital Vision System or regular main and wide-angle mirrors. The DAF Digital Vision System (DDVS) advertises enhanced indirect vision and an optimal view in all conditions.[\[5\]](#cite_note-:1-5) When opting for DDVS, a corner-view camera can be installed, replacing the front and kerb mirrors. As well as the improved efficiency of DAF's commercial vehicles, the Digital Vision System helps to meet the [Direct Vision Standards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Vision_Standard "Direct Vision Standard") (DVS) at 3-Star on the XG to meet 2024 requirements. The New Generation XG also brings a kerb-view window in the lower half of the passenger-side door, which, when paired with DDVS; their large windscreen; and low belt-lines, helps to add to their safety claims and qualify for the 2024 DVS requirements.[\[6\]](#cite_note-6)[\[7\]](#cite_note-7) The XG comes with their first-in-market suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, including compatibility with additional cameras, breathalysers, Advanced Emergency Braking and other camera/sensor assists.[\[5\]](#cite_note-:1-5) 1.
