■ LEYLAND TRUCKS PRODUCES 5,000th FACTORY BODIED DAF

At Leyland Trucks in the UK, the 5,000th DAF LF distribution truck with in-house manufactured and mounted PACCAR body came off the production line. The vehicle was handed to Royal Mail, the UK’s postal service that already has more than 700 PACCAR bodied DAF vehicles in its fleet.

Leyland Trucks is the one and only truck manufacturer that assembles and installs bodies on its truck production lines. It offers significant reductions in delivery lead times, supporting maximum efficiency and vehicle availability.

In the UK market, DAF supplies a full range of LF distribution trucks with a PACCAR body. The range of body works also includes the advanced aerodynamic Aerobody which is The 5,000th DAF with a PACCAR body ex-factory is handed designed to enhance fuel consumption and which now is also available on continental over to Paul Gatti (Director of Fleet and Maintenance Services markets in Europe.

One of them now has 100,000 kilometres on the clock already. “As a specialist in transporting parts for aviation industry, we spend a lot of time on the road”, he explains. “That means that we got a lot of experience very quickly with the new generation of Euro 6 vehicles”.

Nirotrans has now purchased another three new XF Euro 6 trucks. “We have grown significantly in recent months”, says Vissenberg. “In total, we have purchased 20 new Euro 6 trucks, including those from other manufacturers. The DAF XF Euro 6 has clearly shown that it is the most economical of them all”.

■ HOYER TURKEY DRIVES DAF

Hoyer Logistics is a company operating around the world that specialises in container transport of chemicals, liquids, liquid food products and oil. The Turkish branch recently put ten brand new DAF CF85.460s into operation. DAF was chosen partly because of previous good experiences. The low fuel consumption also played a major role, as did the relatively low weight of the CF itself. This is important because every kilogram counts when transporting liquids.

■ “COOL” DAF

Ice hockey fans in the Frankfurt area will be happy with this; RICHTER.transporte from nearby Langenselbold is sending its first XF Euro 6 out on the road with a body bearing spectacular advertising for the Frankfurt Lions, the local ice hockey team. The idea came from director/owner Hans-Jörg Richter himself, a diehard fan. “A gift from a fan to the club”, says Richter, who has never missed a home game. And the reaction from fans on Facebook, where the truck has already received more than 600 “likes”, shows that the combination has been noticed.

RICHTER.transporte has used DAF exclusively since it was established in 2006. “I tried out all the makes and stuck with DAF. The operating costs, the fuel consumption, it ticks all the boxes”, says Richter about it. “And my drivers love them”. According to Richter, the first XF Euro 6 from RICHTER.transporte uses around 10% less than its predecessor, the Euro 5 XF105.

It’s the climax to a detailed process in which the customer, dealer and, often, the bodybuilder jointly come up with the best possible transport solution for the customer. Starting point for this decision process is the truck’s purpose – what does the customer expect from the truck and which product specification would be most suitable? With an extensive range of ultra-modern two, three and four-axle vehicles, DAF has a truck to suit every application. For distribution transport, construction, local authorities, the agricultural sector and heavy transport over long distances; because every customer is unique and so is every DAF.

Barbare Zimmer - publisher and owner of Polski Traker - , DAF’s top-of-the-range model was awarded for its elegant to Harrie Schippers - DAF Trucks President - , design, safety features and superb comfort. Ron Bonsen - Director Marketing and Sales - and Ron Borsboom - Director Product Development. The Truck of the Year Award - organised by Polski Traker trade magazine - is the Polish premier award for the transport industry. The jury consisted of readers from the magazine and they acclaimed the DAF Euro 6 XF because of its comfort, design and safety and also because of its fuel efficient 10.8 liter MX-11 and 12.9 liter MX-13 PACCAR engines. The DAF Euro 6 XF received 640 of the total of about 1.000 votes. It’s the fifth time DAF received the award: in 1998, the DAF 95XF was voted winner, followed a year later by the CF85. The DAF XF105 won the Polish Truck of the Year Award in 2006 and 2007.

“This recognition is so valuable because it is given by the users themselves, being truck drivers”, said Harrie Schippers, DAF Trucks president. “I’m delighted that they recognised the Euro 6 XF as their preferred long distance truck of choice.”

MOVE TO DAF Whereas Euro Top Concept formerly made use of another truck brand as a basis for its cranes, since the introduction of Euro 6 the company has switched to the DAF LF. “ There are several reasons for this,” says Dominique Christien of Euro Top Concept. “ First, the dealer is nearby and offers excellent service. However, the build friendliness of the LF chassis is equally important. The new LF Euro 6 is also popular with customers in the market, thanks to its appealing looks.

From simple candles to hypermodern LED-lighting: in more than one hundred years of motoring history, lighting has undergone incredible developments. Even so, some inventions in the field of automotive lighting are older than you would think. Dipped headlights were invented almost 100 years ago and swivel lights as early as 1934. And over 50 years ago the asymmetric beam, which throws more light on the curb, was introduced. In the last 50 years, developments have accelerated, also thanks to DAF.

VERVAET: HIGH-TECH AND DOWN TO EARTH “GROWTH IN ITSELF IS NOT A GOAL” At the end of the Fifties, the father and uncle of Edwin Vervaet set up a technical workshop in the hamlet of Biervliet in the Dutch “province of Zeeland. They used a corner of their father’s barn (who worked as a contractor) to repair anything that had an engine on it or in it. The company grew quickly; within a few years, the brothers owned several car dealerships and were busy selling and repairing agricultural machinery. Since then, Frans Vervaet B.V. has become the leading producer of self-propelling beet harvesters and slurry handling machines. The driving force behind these extraordinary vehicles is a PACCAR engine developed and built by DAF. Edwin Vervaet: “Growth in itself is not a goal.
