The 2016 Commercial Fleet Awards ceremony was held at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham. “These awards are extremely valuable to us as they are a recognition from leading UK fleet operators and fleet managers with an in-depth understanding of the needs of the industry”, stated Richard Zink, Director Marketing & Sales and member of the Board of DAF Trucks N.V. “The awards underline the great quality of our trucks and services, which contribute to lowest total cost of ownership and highest transport efficiency of which our customers are benefitting every day. It is for good reasons that DAF has been the UK market leader for over 20 years in succession.”

Commenting on the 'Truck Fleet Manufacturer of the Year' award, the judges said: “From the quality of the trucks to the unequalled DAF ITS road side assistance, DAF covers every need of the professional fleet operator. In addition, the dealer network is focused on serving its customers in the best possible way. DAF is the benchmark in the truck industry.”

Recently, the DAF XF series collected the titles ‘Fleet Truck of the Year’ and ‘Master Truck of the Year’ in the UK and Poland respectively, while the CF was awarded ‘Best Distribution Truck’ at the Irish Truck of the Year election.

The Commercial Fleet Awards is an initiative of the leading British ‘Commercial Fleet’ magazine.
