Lorry Business
DAF produced their first lorry, the A30, in 1949. This lorry was upgraded in the following years. Their first attempt into the international market was a failure, the 2000DO. Their next lorry was the 2600, which became a big seller. They also produced a so-called torpedo-front tractor.
In the 1970s a new cab style was introduced on the 1700/1900/2100/2300/2500/2800/3300/3600 range of vehicles, which featured DAF's characteristic 3-piece windscreen. The design lasted until the introduction of the 85 style cab in 1993. DAF was also one of the first to introduce a turbocharged diesel engine into their lorrys, which in these years became very evident with their 3600.
There is a DAF LF45 hybrid version, which was presented by DAF at the IAA 2010 in Hannover.
