DAF CF85 - Fleet Truck of the Year

At the presentation of the prestigious “Motor Transport Awards 2012” (London), the DAF CF85 has been awarded “Fleet Truck of the Year” for the 11th time, an indisputable record. The “Motor Transport Awards” organized by the trade magazine Motor Transport are the most important awards in the UK transport industry.

The best offer for fleet operators

After comparing the offers of all leading truck manufacturers, the conclusions of operators were clear: “the CF85 guarantees truly competitive ownership costs and considerable fuel economy, and it is highly appreciated by drivers. DAF offers the best and most exhaustive package, including an impressive customer service and a market-leading after sales support.” The DAF CF achievement with the Motor Transport Awards is unparalleled, for it is the 11th “Fleet Truck of the Year” title awarded to this truck series since 1994.

Important recognition for the CF85 and the DAF network

Ray Ashworth, managing director of DAF Trucks UK, received this new award in front of 1,5000 professionals of the transport industry. “It is a great honour for the CF85, as well as our entire network of sales and service dealers”, said Ray Ashworth. “This recognition is particularly valuable, for it has been awarded by the users themselves - highly demanding fleet operators”.

Key principles of the DAF CF truck range

“The key principles of our truck range have enabled us to go on winning the Fleet Truck of the Year awards during some of the most challenging years in the UK transport industry: maximum reliability, perfect driver comfort, as well as high-quality support provided by our nationwide dealership network”, said Ray Ashworth. “With the latest ATe technologies, the CF has always been considered as one of the most fuel efficient trucks on the market. It guarantees significant savings, which is particularly important in times, when fuel prices are reaching a record high”.
