DAF Trucks Arrives Strong at the 24th Edition of Fenatran, Promising to Change the Game in the Construction, Mining, and Timber Sectors! The company, which has already consolidated its presence in Brazil, presents at the fair, the largest road transport event in Latin America, held at São Paulo Expo from November 4 to 8, a new line of vehicles that promises to meet the demands of these segments with precision and robustness.

At the center of attention is the highly anticipated DAF Vocational Line, which expands the CF family with vehicles specialized for off-road operations. This launch from DAF Trucks marks the brand’s definitive entry into the mining and construction sectors, with models designed specifically to tackle uneven terrain and withstand severe conditions.

Investment in Expansion and Quality in After-Sales

With a solid growth strategy, DAF Trucks ends the year with positive numbers and ambitious expansion plans. Since its arrival in Brazil in 2013, DAF has established itself as one of the top five manufacturers in the sector, reinforcing its network of dealers and enhancing after-sales service.

The goal is to reach 75 service points by the end of 2024, expanding the assistance network to support growing demand, especially in the construction and mining sectors.

To facilitate the maintenance of large fleets, DAF launched the DAF Multi-Support Ultra, a package that allows efficient cost control through a fixed monthly fee based on mileage. In addition, DAF Trucks also offers the DAF Mobile Workshop, a preventive and corrective maintenance service on-site, tailored to the specific needs of clients in the construction and mining sectors.

Sustainability and Innovation: Electric Trucks and Hydrogen

The commitment to a sustainable future was also highlighted at the DAF Trucks stand. The company is investing in electric trucks, with an impressive range of up to 500 km, in addition to testing hybrid vehicles and developing fuel cell engines focused on hydrogen. These innovations show that DAF Trucks is not only looking at the present of the construction and mining sectors but also at a future with zero emissions.

With these initiatives and launches, DAF Trucks makes it clear that it intends to be a reference in solutions for the mining, construction, and timber segments, combining robustness, innovation, and sustainability. The brand continues its growth trajectory and bets on a diversified portfolio that meets multiple demands of the Brazilian market.
