The new DAF XF Euro 6 has been voted 'Fleet Truck of the Year 2014' at the annual Export & Freight Transport & Logistics Awards in Belfast.
The judges from Ireland's transport and logistic industry gave the truck the top honours based on its overall performance, reliability, driver safety and comfort, fuel efficiency and DAF's dealer network aftersales support.
The judges said the new DAF XF "sets the benchmark, in terms of efficiency", and praised its low kerb weight and high payload.
XF's new interior was also praised for its "new level of driver comfort" with the biggest cab available to work and live in, as well as maximum safety for the driver and other road users.
"This award is great recognition for the new XF, which I am pleased to say is performing exceptionally well for transport companies based in Northern Ireland," states Ray Ashworth, managing director of DAF Trucks.
The new DAF XF Euro 6 is available with a choice of the latest 12.9-litre Paccar MX-13 or 10.8 litre MX-11 engines.
