Because of its dependability, power, quality, and fuel efficiency, the DAF WS 242 engine has shown itself to be the best. This V-shaped engine has six cylinders, twelve valves, and 11.6 liters of displacement.
About thirty years ago, the first batch of DAF WS motors came off the assembly line. Following several modifications, these units’ power was raised to 294 kW. Commercial vehicles, agricultural equipment, and other specialized equipment are equipped with DAF WS series motors. In addition to having a turbocharger, the engines have a high power level.
