DAF

4.3

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.

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 XG+ for a couple of months now, and here's my take. The cab space is impressive, offering ample storage and a comfortable sleeper. However, I found the engine brake somewhat less responsive than I expected under heavy loads. The fuel efficiency is decent for its class, reaching about 2.2 km/l during my routes. Overall, it serves well, though engine noise insulation could be improved a notch.

I've done a lot of long hauls in the DAF XF105 over the years. The biggest thing for me is that cab space. They really put some thought into the storage, which I appreciate when I've got to be out for a week or more. The fridge is decent and that little folding ladder for the top bunk is a nice touch. Headroom's alright, even for taller folks. The ride's comfy enough, probably thanks to that all-air suspension. Not much road noise in the cab either, the motor's quiet unless you're really working it. Only real gripe I have is price, even used it's not cheap, but you kinda get what you pay for in terms of comfort. Maintenance hasn't been a hassle for me, just keep up with the usual and it's reliable. Gearbox is mostly smooth, though sometimes the auto waits a bit long to upshift for my taste.
