DAF's LF truck has been named by the American Truck Dealers (ATD) as the '2012 Commercial Truck of the Year' in the medium duty category.
 In its North American specification, as the Peterbilt Model 210 with the Paccar PX-6 engine, the truck earned the award based on cab comfort, visibility, manoeuvrability and ease of maintenance, all features which have made the DAF LF model range a success in Europe.
Closer to home, DAF achieved a record market share in the UK last year where more than 38% of all trucks sold between six and 16 tonnes gvw were DAF LF trucks, designed and built by Leyland Trucks in Lancashire.
Growing sales have also been recorded in other European markets, including Germany, Italy, Poland, France, Netherlands and the Czech Republic.
The Peterbilt 210 is assembled in Paccar's Mexico plant for the North American and South American markets. The LF will also be assembled in the new DAF Brazil plant scheduled to begin operations in 2013.
