DAF Trucks has started extensive field tests as the final phase in the development of an entirely new generation of distribution trucks.

The new trucks will share the DNA of the New Generation XF, XG and XG.

The recent launch of the New Generation XF, XG and XG+ was a success for DAF. The trucks were crowned ‘International Truck of the Year 2022’. With an orderbook of nearly 20,000 units before production officially started in early November, the triplets broke all records in the 93-year history of the Dutch truck manufacturer.

“With the game-changing XF, XG and XG+, DAF started the future of long and heavy haulage,” said Ron Borsboom, executive director product development.

“Now, we are on our way to start the future of regional and national distribution as well. Direct vision, seating position, ergonomics, fit and finish, it will all be of a new league, next to superior vehicle efficiency and ride and handling.”

DAF will unveil its New Generation of distribution trucks in the second half of the year. The new series will become available in addition to the wide range of DAF CF trucks.
