The award is often recognised as one of the most prestigious awards in the UK transport sector, with a panel of influential fleet operators judging the DAF XF as offering “excellent value for money” and as “the best back-up solution and highly attractive to drivers”. In addition, the excellent fuel consumption performance, parts availability and low maintenance costs were also highlighted.

The best uptime on the market
The award provides further evidence that, thanks to its fuel economy and extended service life, the XF is the truck of choice for long-haul, heavy-duty haulage for many leading fleet operators. Drivers praise the unrivalled cab comfort, including the best-in-class bed, excellent driving position and generous interior space.

"XF ticks all the boxes"
“The title underlines what we already knew: our XF is the optimal answer for all transport operators looking for the best long-haul or heavy-duty truck on the market,” said Richard Zink, Director of Marketing and Sales and Member of the Board of Directors of DAF Trucks. “Our product ticks all the boxes for any business – reliability, efficiency, driver appeal – supported by the largest and best dealer network and aftersales service in the truck industry,” added Richard Zink.
