DAF FTM XF95.530 – a heavy XF95-series tractor unit from the Dutch maker DAF: roughly 12.7-litre diesel engine, built 2004
DAF FTM XF95.530 comes from the Dutch commercial-vehicle maker DAF Trucks of Eindhoven. In DAF's type code the letter T denotes a tractor unit.

The register lists this model for the build year 2004, fitted with a diesel engine of roughly 12.7 litres.
A diesel engine of this size rated at 530 hp was, in 2004, among the most powerful units available in Europe for tractor units, and was built for operation with fully loaded combinations on international long-haul routes, for instance on climbs or at high overall 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. The high output also allows for steadier cruising speeds on motorways with varying gradients, without running the engine constantly at its limit.
For a used example, check the condition of the frame and fifth-wheel coupling, the mileage and condition of the powerful diesel engine along with its turbocharger and exhaust after-treatment, brake system operation, and the tightness of the air suspension on the drive axle. Drivetrain parts run through the DAF dealer network.
