DAF Trucks receives order for 131 vehicles from FedEx

FedEx supports customers around the world with international transportation solutions, connecting businesses to over 220 markets and territories through a highly integrated air and road network. The company has been a trusted DAF and PACCAR customer for many years. With this latest fleet investment, FedEx is not only replacing linehaul trucks that are currently in operations, but is also adding DAF trucks to its French operations for the first time, further expanding the long-standing collaboration between the two companies.

“We are committed to operating a safe, efficient and reliable fleet across Europe. The addition of these DAF vehicles supports our ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency while providing our teams with modern, high-quality trucks backed by a strong service network”, stated Safia Ladhari, Managing Director Network Operations of FedEx in Europe.

The new fleet adding comprises DAF XD, XF and XG trucks, each selected to match specific operational requirements across the FedEx network. The DAF XD 450 is deployed for regional and national distribution, while the DAF XF 480 Sleeper Cab is dedicated to longer-haul transport operations. For routes where ultimate cab interior space is key, FedEx has selected the DAF XG 480. All vehicles combine industry-leading efficiency, reliability and driver comfort, supporting the company’s demanding transport operations across Europe.

“We are proud to further strengthen our relationship with FedEx through this important European fleet order,” said David Kiss, European Sales Director of DAF Trucks. “The introduction of DAF vehicles into the FedEx France operations, combined with the expansion and renewal of DAF fleets in the UK and the Netherlands, demonstrates the company’s confidence in the trucks of DAF and the excellent service provided across Europe. We look forward to supporting their operations with industry-leading transport efficiency, reliability and uptime.”
