The DAF CF is a range of trucks produced since 1992 by the Dutch truck manufacturer DAF Trucks NV. Originally launched as the 65, 75, and 85 series (from 1992 through 1997), they were renamed the CF range in 1998. Most left-hand drive DAF trucks are assembled in Eindhoven, while all right-hand drive units for the UK market are produced by Leyland Trucks.[1]

Military use

Belgium

In 2021 DAF was awarded a contract for the delivery and service of 879 military trucks for the Belgian army and the Medical Component of the Belgian Armed Forces.[2][3] The trucks will be based on the DAF CF model and will include both 4x4 and 8x8 versions.[4] The vehicles will be split into 636 4x4 trucks for general transport tasks and 243 8x8 trucks for specific applications.[5] Furthermore, 40 percent of the vehicles will be equipped with an armored cab that will protect the crew during military operations.[6] DAF will work together with Tatra Trucks to deliver the military trucks, which is planned to take place between 2022 and 2025.[7]
