The first ‘Innovation and Technology in Transport’ show finally took place at the end of June at Farnborough airport. The show had been postponed thanks to Covid pandemic, but was well worth waiting for.  DAF used the show as their opportunity to get their new XG range of long distance cabs in front of the…

Perhaps a virtual truck show is even better than getting your favourite truck stuck in a muddy field with the real thing? There are plenty of truck show fans who would disagree, but at least it is a chance to show off some metal and take home some (virtual) glory. So, DAF Trucks has revealed…

Following last week’s news of a 340k DAF XF Wrecker going to Alpha Recovery, this week we get the news of a new £350k DAF CF recovery truck conversion delivered to North-west truck recovery specialist, Jackson’s Recovery. The 80-tonne DAF CF 530 eight-wheeler is the company’s new fleet flagship truck and will sit alongside their…

DAF Trucks are growing their presence in the nationwide fleet of trucks belonging to National pump hire, rental and distribution specialist, Selwood with the addition of six new DAF CF trucks. Selwood used to favour a different truck manufacturer, but the experience of the trucks and the support of the dealer network has convinced the…

But can you afford one? It is great news that UK operators can now order a fully electric, right hand drive rigid or tractor unit from the UK’s market leading truck manufacturer.  Whether there are queues of early adopting buyers ready to take on the expense of one is quite another question. DAF are always…

That’s the problem using superlatives like ‘Ultimate’ for branding your commercial vehicles as it leaves you with few places to go for the next best thing.  Think the naming of the Mercedes cabs – is a Mega better than a Giga? What will come after DAF’s Super Space Cab?  The ‘Super-Dooper Space Cab’? If so,…

New Era Fuel’s new DAF CF tanker looks like a proper moving billboard for HVO. There’s plenty of reasons to shout about it.  To the uninitiated, HVO stands for enhanced Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil and can directly replace diesel in many trucks – including all the vehicles in DAF’s current line up. Why replace diesel with…

So, the truck building industry is still alive in the UK. At least in Lancashire it is. DAF assemble almost all the trucks for the UK market in Leyland – and even send some overseas! This is evidenced in the fantastic achievement of building the 100,000th CF and XF truck, with the example destined for…

With all the COVID news and the U.S. Presidential election shenanigans bombarding us by the minute, Brexit news takes a poor third place at the moment.  Nonetheless it will be upon us shortly and the Government is due to announce details of any deal (or lack of one) to be made by the 15th October….

The drivers at Yusen Logistics (UK) had a lot of input into the buying process of the latest acquisition of 30 DAF CF260 18 tonne trucks to join the 350-strong fleet.  Both box-bodied and curtainsiders, the new fleet was supplied by Brian Currie, DAF Dealer in Milton Keynes, with fleet management and maintenance support packages…

It makes absolute sense to buy a truck that is made in a factory around the corner. That said, the truck has to perform to continue to add them to the fleet. That’s just what has happened to north-west based supermarket chain, Booths.  The Preston-headquartered company started buying locally assembled DAF CF tractor units fifteen…

All face to face operations need reviewing and changing appropriately in our Covid-filled world.  Driver training is no different – there are behind the wheel and classroom programmes that must meet the guidelines. DAF have changed their approach accordingly and have extended the voucher scheme for new truck sales which means that pre-lockdown truck purchases…

The electric DAF CF rigids and tractor units are being made available for sale after successful field tests.  No mention of pricing at this stage – but it will probably be from the Rolls Royce School, “If Sir has to ask the price, Sir probably can’t afford it”. DAF has beefed up the batteries, extending…

Having a tipper for road surfacing applications that does not tip may sound like a nonsense, but Rory J. Holbrook’s new DAF CF 8×4 Tridems have been built to carry out the role of a tipper without all the ‘tipping’.  The Norfolk-based aggregate supply specialist has now taken delivery of the first two CF 410…

There can’t be many tougher operating duty cycles involving multi-drop work 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  That’s the demanding schedule the Freightforce trucks operate under.  Mix into this overnight trips cross-country with step frame trailers using a whole series of drivers means that the trucks on the fleet really do provide their…

The safety of our roads continues to improve as truck manufacturers roll out improvements to their safety systems. Going back just a decade or so it would have seemed science fiction that a truck could detect what’s ahead and decide whether a moving or stationary object was going to be in the way.  Add to…

Some truck operators have their trucks standing idle – not so many others.  One example is South Caernarfon Creameries (SCC) in North Wales.  The company has just taken delivery of four new DAF trucks as the cheese and butter maker sees production volumes continue to increase year on year. Three new DAF CF 450 8×2…

The first truck range to receive the hydraulic front-wheel drive conversion for the DAF XF and CFs is an odd choice for the UK – 4×2 tractor units.  DAF inform us that there will be other chassis types available later this year. Switchable front wheel drive on an 8×2 or 8×4 chassis could see a…

The manufacturer of DAF Trucks in UK, Leyland Trucks has won the Queen’s award for enterprise for 2020 in the International Trade category.  In addition to the manufacture of the full range of DAF Trucks for the UK market in right hand drive, the plant also produces trucks for export overseas.
