The 19-tonne GVW LF Electric is powered by an electric motor developing 250kW nominal power and nominal torque of 1,200Nm. DAF’s latest cobalt- and magnesium-free LFP batteries provide a gross energy content of 282kWh – 254 kWh effective – to give the vehicle a single charge range of up to 280km – subject to route and weather conditions.
Steve White, Head of Fleet at Reynolds, said: “At 19-tonnes GVW the LF Electric appears to be the ideal fit for our multi-drop inter-urban operation out of Leeds. “It’s intensive too; 15 drops covering over 100 miles every day, six days a week.”
Chris Snelson, Fleet & Asset Director at NRG Riverside, said: “We have a built a great partnership with Reynolds Catering over the years, enabling us to cater to their current and future fleet needs, be proactive with our preventative maintenance, and we’re assisting Reynolds in its fleet decarbonisation strategy; this recent DAF LF Electric fridge unit is the first of many to come.”
