DAF’s Taiwan plant delivers 5,000th truck

Tractor Units
Asian paper business Shan-Loong has taken delivery of a DAF CF 85.410 tractor – its 115th DAF vehicle and the 5,000th DAF truck to be built in Taiwan.

DAF Trucks ships components for the LF, CF and XF105 series from its factories in Eindhoven and Leyland to Taiwan, where its partner, the Formosa Plastics Group, assembles around four trucks per day.

Two years ago, Formosa’s assembly line in Dadu was expanded to meet the growing demand for DAF trucks in Taiwan.

“We are truly proud of our partnership with the Formosa Plastics Group,” says Richard Zink, director of marketing and sales at DAF Trucks.

“Together, we are building fantastic trucks that exceed the customer’s expectations. More and more renowned Taiwanese transport companies are choosing DAF.”
