In 2010, DAF further strengthened its position on the European truck market. In the heavy class (above 15 tonnes), a 15.2% market share was achieved in the European Union*. In terms of volume DAF now takes a solid third place among the European truck manufacturers and is well on its way to its medium term goal of 20% market share.
