DAF FT 95XF.380 – a heavy XF-series tractor unit from the Dutch manufacturer DAF Trucks: long-haul diesel engine, built 1998 to 2001
DAF FT 95XF.380 comes from the Dutch commercial-vehicle maker DAF Trucks of Eindhoven. In DAF's type code the letter T denotes a tractor unit. The XF range replaced the previous 95 generation in 1997 as DAF's heavy long-haul flagship and still forms the upper segment for long-distance, cross-border haulage at DAF today.

The register lists this model for the build years 1998 to 2001, fitted with a diesel engine. For engine displacement, the register gives a range of roughly 12,500 to 13,000 cm³. No further detailed technical figures for power, weight or dimensions are recorded for this model.
As a tractor unit, the FT 95XF supplied only the drive and pulling power, while load volume and payload were determined by the semi-trailer attached. The heavy diesel engine in the twelve-litre class was built for long-distance operation at full combination weight; vehicles in this class are subject to an EU-wide top speed limit of 90 km/h, and air suspension on the drive axle is the common arrangement for long-haul tractor units of this kind.
For a used example, check the condition of the frame and fifth-wheel coupling, the mileage and condition of the heavy diesel engine and its turbocharger, brake system operation, and the tightness of the air suspension on the drive axle. Drivetrain parts run through the DAF dealer network.
