DAF Trucks is coming to the 24th edition of Fenatran with everything it needs, promising to change the game in the construction, mining and timber sectors! The company, which has already consolidated its presence in Brazil, is presenting 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.

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

The new DAF Vocational line

During Fenatran, DAF Trucks presented the CF Mining, the CF Construction and the CF Forestry, each one developed for a strategic sector. The CF Mineração, with 6×4 and 8×4 configurations and PACCAR MX-13 engine, is designed for intense mining operations, where strength and durability are crucial.

The CF Construction, equipped with the PACCAR PX-7 engine, comes in a 6×4 configuration, ideal for construction environments and heavy-duty projects. Finally, the CF Florestal, also with an MX-13 engine and 6×4 configuration, meets the demands of the timber sector, ensuring power for heavy loads and long distances.

And the news doesn't stop there! DAF Trucks also announced the launch of the CF Road Tractor in 2025, which will feature 4×2 and 6×2 configurations and will be equipped with the PACCAR PX-9 engine. This model promises to expand DAF's operations in the road transport sector.

Investment in expansion and quality in after-sales service

With a solid strategy for growth, DAF Trucks ends the year with positive figures and ambitious expansion plans. Since its arrival in Brazil in 2013, DAF has consolidated itself as one of the five largest manufacturers in the sector, strengthening its dealership network and improving after-sales service.

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

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

Sustainability and innovation: electric and hydrogen trucks

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, as well as testing hybrid vehicles and developing fuel cell engines with a focus on hydrogen. These innovations show that DAF Trucks is not only looking to the present in the construction and mining sectors, but also to a zero-emissions future.

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 invests in a diversified portfolio that meets multiple demands of the Brazilian market.
