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. There is no doubt about the brand, because the licence plate administration tells us this is a DAF XF530.

New DAF; Large cab, compact exhaust system

The new DAF trucks are everywhere these days in field tests with customers. This one was spotted by Piet Oversloot. Thanks for the photo’s Piet!
