All 34 DAF Truck Sales Dealers in UK and Ireland to become DAF Electric Truck Centres

DAF Trucks has started its DAF EV Relay, with two DAF LF Electric 4x2 rigids on a tour of its Dealer Network to train and familiarise staff at all 34 of the market leader’s truck sales centres in the UK and Ireland. 

 

Each DAF Dealer will drive an LF Electric to its location before delivering hands-on familiarisation training for staff, designed to build confidence and an extensive EV knowledge base across the DAF Dealer Network. 

 

The two trucks, setting-off from opposite ends of England, are specially liveried to highlight range performance, environmental benefits and potential cost savings as evidenced from the 18-month Battery Electric Truck Trial (BETT) which concluded at the end of September. The BETT is designed to encourage operators in the uptake of battery electric vehicles, with real-world, operational results published on a dedicated website: bett-cenex.co.uk. The final report is due for publication shortly.
