Fuel Injection:
High-pressure electronic unit injection (EUI) or common rail systems (depending on specific engine evolution within the 95 XF generation).
Cooling System
Cooling Type:
Water-cooled, typically with a thermostat-controlled system and fan clutch.
๐Ÿ”ง Transmission
Standard
Type:
Manual gearbox (e.g., ZF 16-speed synchromesh).
Optional
Type:
Automated manual transmission (e.g., ZF AS-Tronic) available on higher-spec models.
Features
Gear Selection:
Range splitter and auxiliary gear (e.g., splitter) for achieving the required number of forward gears for efficient operation across a wide load and speed range.
Fluid Specification
Transmission Fluid Type:
Refer to the specific gearbox manufacturer's recommendations (e.g., API GL-4 or GL-5 rated gear oil, viscosity grade dependent on ambient temperature, typically SAE 75W-90 or 80W-90).
๐Ÿ“ Dimensions
Exterior
Wheelbase:
Varies significantly based on configuration (e.g., 6x2, 4x2 tractor unit), ranging from approx. 3.6m to over 4.5m.
Cab Type:
Various cab options, including Space Cab and Super Space Cab, offering different interior volumes and sleeping accommodations.
Weights
Gross Vehicle Weight:
Legal limits vary by region and axle configuration, typically ranging from 18,000 kg to 26,000 kg (or higher for specific configurations like B-doubles).
Fifth Wheel Coupling Weight:
Typically rated for loads between 11,500 kg to 17,500 kg depending on tractor unit configuration and axle load limits.
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety Features
Ratings
