DAF trucks (1970s and 1980s): books - history (2/2)

DAF F3300 en F3600 trucks en trekkers - Krachtpaarden

In 1987, the DAF F 95 series, incorporating significant electronic components, was introduced, albeit not universally embraced by all customers. DAF, known for attentive customer listening, responded by launching the F2900 and F3200 series from 1990, featuring the reliable, traditional technology primarily designed for export.

This book provides an overview of all variants within the DAF F 3300 and F 3600 trucks and tractors. Additionally, it delves into the Paris-Dakar rallies and includes a chapter on the DAF YBZ 3300 6x6 recovery vehicles supplied to the military by DAF in the years 1992/1993.

DAF F2800 trucks en trekkers: Kilometervreters

While the DAF F 2800 was already a success upon its introduction in 1973, the F 2800 series continued to thrive over the years through technical innovations, such as turbo-intercooled diesel engines, and various model enhancements like the Supercontinental, Space Cab, and Topsleeper. These advancements solidified DAF's position in the realm of international heavy transport.

This book, through words and images, captures the evolution of these DAF trucks and tractors, spanning from their debut in 1973 and concluding with the final production in 1986, extending to the trade of second-hand trucks to Africa and Suriname.

DAF YA 4440 /4442 Viertonner - Ontwikkeling en historie van een militair werkpaard

Few Dutch military personnel, both professional and conscripted, have not encountered the now-iconic four-tonner. As the days of this vehicle type are numbered after nearly half a century, many still harbor warm sentiments for the old and reliable 'tonner.'

This book covers the complete history of the DAF YA 4440 and YA 4442: from the decision in the mid-1960s to replace the then over ten-year-old vehicles of the 'Dikke DAF family,' to their use in the armed forces and the inevitable decommissioning.

E

xtensive attention is also given to the testing and further development of the prototypes, a process not without its challenges but ultimately resulting in an exceptionally versatile vehicle that served in all branches of the military.

Even experts on this vehicle type will discover, after reading this book, that many often unknown facts and interesting details have come to light. All of this is illustrated through carefully compiled tables, various vehicle specifications, and over three hundred, mostly unpublished, photos and images.
