Waberer’s purchased Hungary’s first Euro 6 DAF tractor

First DAF tractor equipped with an Euro 6 engine in Hungary to start operation in the fleet of Waberer’s International
 
Waberer’s International Pte.Co. purchased Hungary’s, and one of Europe’s first DAF tractors equipped with Euro 6 engines. The XF type vehicle equipped with 460 hp PACCAR MX-13 engines was presented to Ferenc Lajkó, deputy CEO by József Pais, managing director at Hungarotruck Ltd. This tractor will go under a variety of trials related to long-haul freight transport in the next few months. Waberer’s will base next year’s procurement decisions on operational experiences. 
 
To Waberer’s International Pte.Co. it’s important that of the Euro 6 DAF XF tractors’ 12,900 cm3 engines emit less pollutants than a 50 cm3 scooter. Since, as of 2014 the European Union will only allow the sale of Euro 6 type tractors, the freight company dedicates great attention to the test results. The decision will be influenced by the fact that while due to the built-in environmental technologies the new class product weights 180 kilograms more than the DAF Euro5 and Euro 5 EEV, its fuel consumption is not more than of those. 
 
DAF Trucks is one of Waberer’s International Pte.Co.’s largest tractor supplier. While all of Waberer’s fleet of 3,000 units is equipped with Euro 5 and Euro 5 EEV environment friendly engines, third of it is made up of the brand’s tractors. The company with subsidiaries operating in Poland, Germany, Romania, and Slovakia delivers over quarter of a million full truckloads of goods to the countries of Europe.
