LF Hybrid[]
September 2010, DAF introduced a hybrid version of the LF45 at the IAA 2010 in Hannover[2][3]. The LF Hybrid combines a 118 kilowatt diesel engine with a 44 kW brushless electromotor. The electromotor has a permanent magnet and is placed in line between the clutch and the automatic transmission. The electromotor is powered by 96 lithium-ion batteries of 3.4 volt each, weighing a total of 100 kilos. The battery pack allows the truck to drive about two kilometers without the diesel motor and to store energy from braking for future use[3][4].
