Did DAF do enough? New Generation Discussed! + Another Truck Joins our Fleet!

[@ChrisBakerTrance]

I wouldnt be worried about what i am driving. More concerned about the cabbage at the end of the week. Clearly theres an issue with wages because nobody wants to drive them. You can have all the fancy bells and whistles you want,no good without a driver in the seat

[@lzh4950]

In my country drivers are paid on a per-trip basis, which has been blamed for incentivising them to speed

[@supertreme5559]

@@lzh4950 yeah thats not good, same thing with car mechanics, getting paid more the more cars they service, and they dont change the oil filter, just the oil. better to have a flat hourly fee

[@luketranter4279]

I've been to the Malvern truckfest and spoken to a spokesperson at daf. They have said the reason why the floor is not completely flat in their XG+ model is to stop dirt and debris from going across the cab from drivers boots

[@Dextar300]

This is exactly what I was thinking must be the reason, Stavros himself was complaining about dirt getting in his cab with his Scania in one of his past videos "Because the sides of the floor mats weren't high enough." Meanwhile I was thinking a small hump would take care of that. Plus putting higher sides on the floormats would just create a hump again? Also, I've never heard anyone complain about the humps in the floors of trucks, even if you don't think they're useful for keeping dirt out of the rest of your cab, they don't get in the way as long as they aren't higher than 10-15cm (and I'm being conservative in that) Bottom line I think flat floors in trucks is nothing more than a (marketing) gimmick, and is actually annoying at best to actually have other tan some sort of bragging rights

You can download a app on your phone and you can basically place a daf truck using your camera and with it you can also place the interior and in it you can see it has a little hump on the floor not more than a good 2/5 CM

Sorry but you can clearly see that he steps in the truck at the left-hand side that's because it's a left hand side truck you can also see the camara filming him sitting at the left-hand side of the cab upto now as far as I know we didn't produce a right hand side truck as yet and I'm on the assembly line of the new DAF truck

What is the obsession with a flat floor, as long as you can get from side to side, does it matter if it's not perfectly flat

[@p1kkujuha]

It does matter when you have bad knees.

@@p1kkujuha can't be that bad if you climb in and out of the cab...how many times a day???

[@p1kkujuha]

@@LA-ph6hh well at least for me the problem is the knee angle, not the repetition. Climbing up and down doesn't require me to bend the knees as much as getting up to engine hump from drivers seat. I'd much prefer a flat floor.

They’re more comfortable to live in. Makes the cab feel bigger because you’re not tripping over an engine hump when you move around it.

An appletart 😂, i expected it to be atleast one of hotwheels truck.. and also watching the launch video for like two times i never noticed the right hand drive turn into a left hand drive until i watched this 😅! One more comment about the mirror camera, i know someone driving an actros who's camera stopped working.. so thats a hazard of such technology 😕 there has to be some sort of backup since side mirrors are an important aspect!

[@janvanrenselaar5998]

Why daf don,t have a flat floor. I have heared that the did that to make the Cab construction stronger in case to a head on-collision. It seems that those struts deform the cage construction in a head on collision. Don,t know or that is the real reason

[@Trucker-Moosey]

The new daf range didn't maximise the regulations it only did 50cm rather than q full 1 metre extra and it really annoys me that it hasn't got a flat floor. Like this just showd how much more scania care about their customers they don't cheap out on a bloody step 😅😅 I love the flat floor of the cabs. It just adds to the premium feel and you know that a manufacturer really thought about their customers when the truck has a flat floor.
