Historical Overview

    Foundation and Early Years: DAF (Van Doorne’s Aanhangwagen Fabriek) was founded in 1928 by Hub van Doorne in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Initially starting as a small workshop, it specialized in metalworking and later moved into trailer manufacturing. The company's name originally stood for "Van Doorne's Trailer Factory" (Van Doorne's Aanhangwagen Fabriek).   

     Entry into Truck Manufacturing: DAF's entry into truck manufacturing marked a significant turn in its history. The 1940s and 1950s saw DAF expanding its portfolio to include military vehicles and trucks. The company gained recognition for its innovative approach, notably in the development of the cab over engine design.

    Passenger Cars: In addition to commercial vehicles, DAF also ventured into the production of passenger cars in the late 1950s and 1960s. Though less well-known than their trucks, DAF cars were unique for their use of continuously variable transmission (CVT), a rarity at that time.

Key Innovations and Contributions 

    Cab Over Engine Trucks: DAF was a pioneer in popularizing the cab over engine design in Europe, a design where the cab is situated above the engine, saving space and increasing maneuverability.

    Innovative Transmission Systems: DAF's development of the "Variomatic" transmission system for its cars showcased their innovative capabilities. This system, a type of continuously variable transmission, was a precursor to modern automatic transmission systems.

    Euro 6 Engines: DAF has been a leader in developing engines that meet the stringent Euro 6 emission standards, reflecting their commitment to environmental sustainability.

Modern Era and Global Presence

    Acquisition by PACCAR: In the 1990s, DAF became a part of PACCAR Inc., a global technology leader in the design and manufacture of premium light, medium, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. This acquisition significantly expanded DAF’s reach and capabilities.    Current Focus: Today, DAF specializes in the production of heavy-duty trucks, particularly for long-haul and distribution transport. They are known for their fuel efficiency, low operational costs, and advanced driver comfort features.

   Global Footprint: While DAF's primary market remains Europe, their trucks are sold across various continents, including Asia and Africa, establishing DAF as a prominent name in the global trucking industry.
