DAF will have its 300 m2 stand in Hall 5 of the Matexpo and will have 3 vehicles on display, including the 19T LF Construction for local and regional distribution, the XF Super Space Cab for heavy haulage and new 8x4 CF FAW for a variety of applications.

New FAW 

The new FAW chassis – available as both CF and XF rigid – features a tridem with a double-drive tandem for excellent traction and a steered trailing axle for a turning circle of just 15.6 meters and an industry-leading maneuverability. The chassis lends itself perfectly for a tipper, concrete mixer or hook lift superstructure.

Richard Zink, Director Marketing & Sales and Member of the Board of Management of DAF Trucks: “With a market share of 20%, DAF is the obvious number 1 in the European tractor segment. We have the best offer in the construction segment as well, as DAF has a fantastic range of vehicles to suit very demand. The new FAW marks our ambition to grow further in this construction segment.”
