DAF

Description

DAF Trucks NV - Netherlands manufacturer of trucks, a division of Paccar since 1996

DAF was founded in 1928, but only after the Second World War began for the establishment of trucks, trailers and buses. DAF A30, put outin 1949, became the first model of the truck company. In 1955, there were sketches of DAF trucks with belt drive, and in 1959 - the world's first car DAF 600 with continuously variable transmission.

The interests of consumers - the main priority of DAF. Low cost of transportation, high quality, comfort, driver's minimal impact on the environment and the high productivity of all products of DAF, therefore, not surprising that in 2008 the share of the company had 12% of the market for heavy trucks in Western Europe.

I’ve driven the DAF LF for work recently, and overall, it performs decently. Fuel consumption levels depend heavily on the road conditions, particularly inclines and load capacity. Maintaining steady speeds on highways yields better efficiency. Maneuverability in tight spots is okay but requires attention. The cabin comfort could use slight improvements, especially for long drives.

I recently got to drive the DAF LF, particularly their factory-built curtainside model. It feels good knowing the manufacturer handles both the chassis and body design, resulting in better integration and reliability throughout. The suspension tuning offers a balanced ride, though I noticed a slight cabin noise at higher speeds. Overall, a dependable truck for day-to-day logistics use.

Having spent considerable time in the DAF LF, I can share some insights. The air suspension feature definitely enhances the ride, even on bumpy roads. The dashboard layout keeps it simple; however, some might find the organization slightly basic. Despite this, the truck's handling is smooth, even when fully loaded. The payload capability is commendable for its class, but the cab's interior leaves room for improvement in terms of space arrangement.

Test drove a few models of the DAF LF, and I can say it's a handy size for urban logistics. Its turning radius is phenomenal. However, the engine might feel a bit underwhelming for hill climbs with heavy loads.

I’ve been driving the DAF LF 45 for a while now. Took it through some hilly terrain recently with a 5-ton load. The fuel consumption showed a bit higher than I’d like, hitting around 18 liters per 100 km. But considering the challenging routes and the weight carried, it's manageable. Interior comfort is decent for long hauls. However, I’ve noticed a slight hitch with air supply when idling. Planning to have it checked soon.
