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.”

Dedicated DAF services for construction segment

In order to provide the best possible business proposition, DAF also offers specific services for the construction industry. These include dedicated DAF MultiSupport repair and maintenance contracts, offering advanced 'Uptime packages' with guaranteed uptime.
