Catalogue information
In 1970 DAF introduced a completely new truck generation (F 1600 - F 2200), which was characterized by tilting cabs. That meant that servicing the engines could be done faster and easier. Three years later, a more than twenty centimeters wider version of the tilting cab was used for the new 2800, one of the great successes in the company's history. With its sleeping cabin in which two full beds were placed and its powerful 11.6 liter DAF engines, this was the successor to the glorious 2600. DAF was the first truck manufacturer in the world to use the turbo in combination with an intercooler, resulting in even more power and torque could be obtained from the engines with favorable fuel consumption. In 1975 DAF came with two completely new trucks for distribution transport: the F 700 and F 900.
