Their continued endeavor to design and manufacture the most advanced transportation solutions has become the hallmark of the company. Offering added value to its customers has always been the cornerstone of DAF's success. On April 1, 1928, Huenges made 10,000 florins available to Hub van Doorne for "Machinefabriek en Reparatie-inrichting". It was a machinery factory, working mainly for the canal ships in Eindhoven and, of course, for Philips. Before long, the machinery factory produced its first light trailer. Thus was born the "van Doorne Aanhanger Fabriek" (DAF for short) factory. Together with his brother, Hub established the foundations of DAF as a market-leading truck manufacturer.
