DAF TRUCKS’ largest ever Ride & Drive event was staged over three weeks in May, at the UTAC Millbrook proving ground. The ‘Start the Future’ event attracted 2,000 customers, DAF dealers and suppliers.
Over 30 DAF trucks were put through their paces, including New Generation XD, XF, XG and XG+ models, plus DAF’s LF featuring the innovative PowerLine eight-speed transmission. All vehicles with conventional engine technology were fuelled with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO).
For many the event provided the first opportunity to evaluate DAF’s zero-emissions offering, with three LF Electric 19 tonners with box, curtain and refrigerated body variants available to test.
