Talk:DAF Trucks

message: *DAF = "Van Doorne's Automobiel Fabriek". Oh. So it is not because it makes a far-from-daffodil-like smell from its diesel exhaust pipe. :-) Anthony Appleyard 16:44, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Daflogo.jpg

message: This article is confusing as its title and lead appear to be about the current DAF trucks business owned by Paccar, but then it has the original business and the car manufacturing History in depth, with a side article for the 1980/90s Leyland DAF bit that then went bust splintering out of the middle in a separate side article, and LDV Limited 
Is this supposed to be the whole DAF Story or DAF Trucks  or ?  Confused - BulldozerD11 (talk) 23:27, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confusing article 

message: I fully support merging DAF NV into this page and turning that page into a redirect, as proposed by Fixer88.  ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃  (talk) 07:30, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merge

message: Since DAF trucks often share numbers (DAF 1600 for instance, used on several vehicles over a long time) there must be some sort of names for each generation of DAF trucks that can be agreed upon so that we can easier begin creating articles. I welcome any and all proposals and will crosspost this on the Dutch DAF talkpage for more (and likely better informed) suggestions.  ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃  (talk) 07:30, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: DAF truck naming

message: * oppose There is as much, if not more, reason to merge Leyland DAF into the original Leyland Motors Ltd article. As it's impossible to merge it to both, the best solution is to leave it as three separate articles, as at present. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:55, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

message: There should be more info about the decline of DAF passenger cars.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.87.10 (talk) 16:34, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  More on its decline 

message: In the DAF TRUCK story there is a photo of an FT2600 with "cab over" in the description. The 2600 models did not have cab over capability which is why the 2800 was developed with a tilt cab.
There is no mention in the history of DAFs involvement in the 1970s to make light weight trucks in collaboration with Volvo, Saviem, Miguirus Deutz. This collaborative effort was called "The Club of Four" Those trucks had common cabs and chassis but each marque used their own driveline. It was abandoned after a few years.
