i worked at DAF for several years, excellent truck brand.

[@martiniv8924]

2800 was popular in the UK as a prime mover , I visited the factory around 4 years ago, very enlightening, DAF was and is very innovative!.

[@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj]

DAF stood for : van Doornes Aanhanger Fabriek, aanhanger is Dutch for trailer. They started making trailers at first.

[@patrickward163]

The 95 series was one of the truck series that had the Leyland Daf badge for UK Market. Sadly no mention of when Daf merged with Leyland

[@christianmendez8299]

I enjoy listening to Matty narrating truck history.

[@bonfire13473]

Fantastic trucks to drive! I currently drive the 5th DAF in my career, and I still enjoy driving them each day! Proud to be a DAF driver.

[@lukebarrow226]

I remember these well as my father always ran DAF trucks, we had 11 CF's a 95xf and a 105xf

[@CosgroveNotts]

First DAF 95s were a nightmare with all the recalls. Kept me in overtime

What would you think Americans would think of the DAF A107 and DAF IRTEX

[@eezergoode8588]

I passed my test in a DAF, it went all Christmas Tree dashboard in the rain during my warm-up drive with my instructor. Calmed down just in time for me to pass.

[@jamesbongiovanni5180]

I'm pretty sure that Kenworth uses (or used) the DAF XF cab for their K500 heavy duty truck, and Kenworth & Peterbilt might be using the CF or LF cab for their medium duty cab-over trucks.

[@mattoates7636]

They do

[@phillytch78]

210/220 in the states is a daf lf

[@whitbygaming2474]

no mention of there tie up with leyland trucks

[@losidude05]

It’s sad that regulations severely limited cabovers here in America!!!! You only find them for refuse or certain construction models...

[@craniostomy]

Mitchell.......What are you talking about? There are no such regulations. When the length-limit was abolished in 1982; the COE became functionally obsolete.

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

Actually, regulations DID cause cabovers to fall from popularity in the U.S.A. Relaxed length and weight limits basically killed them in most applications and that's fine with me! If you've ever driven, or even ridden in one, you'll completely understand. I HAVE driven AND ridden in a few of those old bone shakers and I don't miss them at all!

[@craniostomy]

@@MikeBrown-ii3pt Yeah. Mike? What you just described? Is called "deregulation". A concept emphasized by the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982........

[@MikeBrown-ii3pt]

@@craniostomy I think you took my comment the wrong way. I know exactly what it's called. I was around the industry when it happened, and I'm still in it today. As I said, I don't miss those old bone shakers at all. You can also call them kidney busters, back breakers or whatever you want.

[@craniostomy]

@@MikeBrown-ii3pt You're right. I was around back then too. My old man bought a brand new K100 in August of '81. I wanted him to spring for the aerodyne. But he wouldn't budge.

[@Spear98CZ]

Thanks god for DAF XF. I drive 2018 XF 510 SSC and love it.

[@gojaneb]

DAF were laughed at when they made the first CVT transmission ...now they are everywhere...

[@scottwhitehouse1128]

Hi loved your film on daf the daf engine was based on the leyland 680 engine which they licenced off leyland in 1986 daf and leyland joined together to make leyland daf trucks. The 95 cab was shared with two other truck firms pegaso Spain and seddon atkinson UK which at one time was owned by international.

[@gojaneb]

Britain couldn't make after Thatcher got into power....instead of being confrontal with the unions.they..,should have sent the political stirrers to Siberia.

[@fliteshare]

Also shared the cab and engine with Tatra Phoenix en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatra_158_Phoenix

[@Zechariah340]

Also another fun fact about DAF, they also helped develop APCs for the Dutch and Belgian armed forces. They were also powered by DAFs diesel engines. I forgot what the models of the APCs are so if anyone knows them please add.

[@KlushOfficial]

"we can certainly suspect a new additiong to the DAF line to debut any day now" And almost exactly one year later: the new XG and XG+

[@l0rdcroissant]

definitely a gorgeous truck ;D

[@jamalbryan6812]

There is nothing like a DAF ....drove one in 2005 and haven't seen another brand compare in comfort and reliability... engine and clutch maintenance is very low like the parts built to last... Daf keeps impressing me everyday

[@CosgroveNotts]

DAF 2800 DKTD was their best model with easy maintenance

[@j.m.buckendorf4616]

Another great video, I’ve really enjoyed them all. Can you do one, on the history of Crane Carrier Corp? They were built in my home town for years, until the company was sold, and then the new owners moved production out of state.

[@espenbjerke1905]

The Medium Daf trucks from the 70 were a Saviem/Renault design

[@fliteshare]

Actually it was a cooperative design between Magirus Deutz, Volvo, Renault Saviem and DAF. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Four But when DAF bought Leyland trucks they dropped out of the club and continued with Leyland midsize cabs.

[@fredschriks8554]

@@fliteshare Wasn't it the other way around ? Leyland bough't DAF ?

[@garethifan1034]

@@fredschriks8554 No..Daf bought Leyland trucks as they were basically bankrupt

[@luinpuin4152]

Again a nice video, about a very solid brand wich I think is always a bit understemated !

[@MVO884]

Thanks for this video of our Dutch pride. One correction I have to make with the name. DAF stands for: Dooremalen (name) Aanhanger (translated Trailer, not automotiv) Fabriek (Factory).But great video, thanks.

[@frankmeuwszen1307]

Haha dooremalen...... van doorne bedoel je! Ze spreken het en brengen de naam zoals het is.

[@CiclistaBoigiDromido]

Dat is later veranderd in van Doornes Automobiel Fabriek. Heel lang geleden al.

[@MVO884]

@@CiclistaBoigiDromido Klopt zo had je ook van Doornes transmissie. Ik geloof in de buurt van Bergen op zoom.

[@andreseduardosotoalcazar7054]

Kenworth mexico have a truck like a daf but with a cummins engine ..named PX 6 and in class 8 trucks is a MX 13 a DAF engine..

[@phillytch78]

Its a rebadged Daf running under paccar’s peterbilt and kenworth models as the 210/220 and they are built in the mexico plant

[@elizabethcherry920]

I am surprised that Paccar doesn't sell the DAF truck line here in the US

[@glennso47]

Elizabeth Cherry That’s quite a truck, Chuck. The trucks look like something out of a cartoon.

[@glennso47]

Elizabeth Cherry I’ll bet the 16 series was replaced by the 17 and the 18 series.

[@phillytch78]

Paccar uses the Daf LF here in the us rebranded as the Peterbilt 210/220 and I think KW version is a K 210/220

[@karlsmith2570]

If I were to drive one of those DAF trucks, I'd definitely drive one of the hybrids, but I wouldn't have an all-electric model

[@roberthill3207]

Sweet

[@Tc-ev9dd]

We dont have many of these in the united states. Everything we drive now is conventional over cab over but drove both over my career.

I loved my Daf CF I used to have. But god would it kill them to update the damn cab? The interior and cab shell is straight from the 95 series with small add ons.

[@PinacoladaMatthew]

still looks good not dated

[@CelebrityStuntman]

Anyone else notice what appeared to be a gas stove in the cab at kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHmueZiBephqnKM

[@iBackshift]

yaa, that was great. I wonder if it was propane or liquid gas.

[@ianmunslow5675]

That was the supercontinental cab designed for use on the run to the Middle East in the 70’s , PIE bought a load of them , Volvo and Ford both offered kitchen packs for their trucks aswell

Daf started as a trailer company

[@jonswinfield9336]

Very interesting but I was very disappointed to hear that in a show entitled history of Daf trucks there was no mention of Leyland Daf at all Having worked for Leyland Daf for years in the UK it was widely known that the first engine used by DAF was a Leyland and during the 1980’s Leyland DAF came about combining both respective companies products Obviously this wasn’t to last forever but the 45 which was originally the Leyland roadrunner still has a family resemblance to the original Leyland product During that period Leyland Sherpa vans were taken on and developed into two main versions The 200 series ( lighter weight) 400 series ( heavy weight) The truck models were as all other products badged Leyland Daf I remember 2100 series all the way up to 3600 series The engines were so good We re- engined London Routemaster doubledecker buses It appears that instead of proper research You’ve got a load of photos of DAF trucks But not looked any further
