"Why You've Never Seen a DAF" I've seen plenty of DAFs. Probably thousands.

A world in which nobody has ever seen a DAF seems very strange.

A country not associated with trucks? There are 2 large truck assembly lines; DAF in Eindhoven and Scania in Zwolle.

I lived and worked in a DAF XF 530 for a year. I still miss that wagon, she pulled like a train. Lovely mattress. Not overly computerised. Proper working wagon.

I am living as a Dutch engineer in Brasil for the last 26 years and in the beginning I wondered why there were no DAF trucks running in Brasil. After the construction of the DAF plant in Brasil I could see how DAF is taking over the Latin American market at a incredible speed. For the last 10 years after the introduction of DAF in Brasil I have never seen a DAF on the side of the highway with technical problems.

Very chaotic vid, even for someone that worked at a DAF dealer in that period. Er zit geen kop of staart aan

I've owned a DAF car, and yep you could drive that thing at the same speed front or backwards. That was a trip

I was born near Eindhoven. The buildings seen in 4.45 and 6.15 are still there. I've been to the factory and did the tour. It's an impressive factory right in the heart of Eindhoven. Like Phillips, DAF is part of that city.

I've seen thousands of them. I just walk out on to the Street and one drives past every few minutes.
