Hub van Doorne and his brother Wim set up a transport engineering
company at Eindhoven, the Netherlands, in 1928. The official name
was to become Van Doorne's Aanhangwagenfabriek, which translated as
'Van Doorne's trailer factory', and the company was subsequently
known as DAF. In 1948, DAF's first prototype lorries were produced
and the company maintained the reputation for quality products
established by their earlier trailers. A few DAF lorries were
exported to the UK in the early 1960s and, within a few years,
driven by the newfound legality of sleeper cabs and the production
of their own 2600 cab, DAF was a major player in the industry.
Constant innovation in cabs and engines eventually led DAF to
become the top-selling heavyweight truck brand in the UK. With its
exceptionally diverse range, DAF enjoys an enduring popularity
among truck and lorry enthusiasts. This book explores the company's
history with a lavish collection of images and detailed captions.
