New DAF in 2021?

New DAF in 2021?

Every day we see black, camouflaged trucks on the roads now and that means something is coming from Eindhoven.

We see a large cab and it seems that the front overhang is larger than before. This results in more space behind the driver, and that is promissing! Another detail…Continue Reading

More detail on the new DAF

This time we got photo’s of Reyer de Jong who caught a new DAF in The Netherlands. It is a field test truck with probably the new Space Cab. We did see another version with an even larger cab, that could be the new Super Space Cab. That is, if DAF is continuing those names.…Continue Reading
