Become a supplier
DAF focuses on developing long-term partnerships with reliable suppliers across the value chain:
- Product-related suppliers
- Parts suppliers
- Non-product-related suppliers in fields like manufacturing equipment, IT equipment and services, marketing and facilities
5 Key requirements
We select and evaluate our suppliers according to five key criteria:
1. Quality:
suppliers’ production processes must conform to PACCAR’s quality requirements, drawn up in accordance with ISO and IATF standards.
2. Logistics:
to deliver new trucks (and aftermarket parts) on time to our customers, reliable shipments from suppliers are essential.
3. Know-how:
to stay up to date with developments, we expect suppliers to share their technology and know- how of new products and future systems.
4. Competitive Position & Total Cost:
our suppliers are expected to submit ideas to improve products & processes that help optimize costs, quality, and functionality.
5. Continuous Improvement & Sustainability:
working with suppliers on continuous improvement helps us produce the best quality trucks in the most efficient, cost- effective way. This leads to optimal use of resources, contributing to sustainability.
Sustainability and Supply Chain Management
Suppliers are, like all our business partners, expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity, avoid conflicts of interest, and ensure fair labor practices. This includes respecting human rights, providing safe working conditions, and prohibiting forced labor and human trafficking. Additionally, the Supplier Code of Conduct expects compliance with environmental regulations and the sustainable management of resources, including responsible sourcing of materials. Suppliers are required to implement continuous improvement programs and maintain transparency throughout the supply chain.
