Torque Output Range: Ranges from around 500 Nm to 700 Nm, optimized for commercial load carrying. Fuel System Injection Type: Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) with advanced electronic control for efficiency and emissions. Emission Control Systems: May include EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) in later models, and SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) for Euro 4/5 compliance. Cooling System Type: Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with an engine-driven fan or viscous coupling fan. 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Typically manual transmissions, often 5-speed or 6-speed. ZF or Eaton transmissions are common. Optional Type: Optional Allison automatic transmissions were available on some models for enhanced drivability and reduced driver fatigue. Features Clutch Type: Single dry-plate clutch, hydraulically operated. Drivetrain Drive Layout: Rear-wheel drive (RWD). 📐 Dimensions Exterior Gvwr Range: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) typically ranges from 7.5 to 18 tonnes, depending on the specific LF 45 variant and chassis configuration. Wheelbase Options: Multiple wheelbase options available to suit different body types and load requirements. Weights Curb Weight: Varies significantly based on chassis, cab, and bodywork, but generally starts from around 3,500 kg. 🛡️ Safety Features Passive Features Cab Construction: Reinforced safety cab designed to offer protection in the event of a collision. Seatbelts: Standard seatbelts, with pre-tensioners on some models. Active Features Braking System: Air-assisted hydraulic brakes or full air brake system depending on GVWR. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is typically standard or optional. Stability Control: ESB (Electronic Stability Program) might be available on later models or as an option. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Dashboard Features: Basic instrumentation including speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and warning lights. May include basic radio/CD player or auxiliary input. Driver Assistance Lighting: Halogen headlamps with adjustable beam. Fog lights may be optional. Integrated side marker and turn signal lights. Connectivity Diagnostics Port: OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics) or J1939 diagnostic connector for engine and system diagnostics. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Oil Change Interval: Typically every 20,000 to 40,000 km or annually, whichever comes first, depending on operating conditions and oil type. Consult manual for specific details. Air Filter Replacement: Recommended at specified mileage intervals or when inspection indicates clogging. Fuel Filter Replacement: Crucial for engine longevity, typically replaced every 30,000 to 50,000 km. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Specification: Requires heavy-duty diesel engine oil meeting API CI-4/CJ-4 or ACEA E4/E6/E7 specifications. Viscosity typically SAE 10W-40 or 15W-40. Specific PACCAR or DAF approvals are important. Coolant...
