WITH a market share of 17.3% in the European heavy truck market and a total production of 68,000 units, DAF Trucks set new records in 2022, suggesting these achievements reflect the high demand for transport thanks to a strong economy, as well as the success of the New Generation DAF XD, XF, XG and XG+ series.
Despite material shortages which impacted the entire automotive industry last year, DAF continued production and even increased build rates, which resulted in record production volumes. In 2022, some 56,000 medium and heavy-duty CF, XF, XG and XG+ trucks came off the production line (49,000 in 2021) as well as 12,000 LF distribution trucks (11,000 in 2021), setting a new production record at Leyland.
