DAF At Work
Following the success of his previous book Scania at Work" Patrick Dyer takes a close look at another favourite of long haul drivers DAF. Although now owned by the American company PACCAR and with links to Leyland the roots of DAF trucks are firmly in Eindhoven Holland. The company started truck manufacture relatively late but in the early 1970s it took an industry lead with its flagship 2800. The 'Supercontinental' version with its wide tilt sleeper cab with two full-size bunks and its powerful 11.6-litre DAF engine was a natural for long-haul work. The successor 3300 and 3600 models took the company into the 1980s running alongside Scania and Volvo as a long-distance driver's favourite. The 330 hp engine suited it for the heavy-duty special transport that became a feature of the period.
