A traditional event for EVW Holding, the DAF Roadshow has reached its 10th edition, thanks to the increased interest in DAF trucks. EVW Holding decided to be in close proximity to local users, partners and potential customers, presenting the new “Pure Excellence” truck range, as well as the significant improvements and benefits they offer, including: up to 7% reduction in fuel consumption, up to 200,000 km service interval, 100 kg more payload, increased driver comfort and increased safety.

The highlight was the test drive sessions with different configurations, allowing participants to see for themselves the increased comfort in the cabin, the quietness of the new engines, the maneuverability and robustness of these trucks. In each of the locations, 5 units were available for testing: DAF XF FT 530 D Super Space Cab with Krone semi-trailer • DAF XF FAR 450 with BDF superstructure • DAF CF FAD 480 Day Cab with KH Kipper tipper • DAF CF FAN 340 Space Cab with parts display superstructure • DAF LF FA 290 with Tal Techniek superstructure.
