DAF CF85 wins Fleet Truck of the Year for the third time

The Motor Transport Awards have awarded the Fleet Truck of the Year to one of the DAF trucks for sale, the DAF CF85, for the third year in a row, and it is the tenth time overall that one of the CF series has won the award. It is the first time in the quarter of century that the awards have been running that a hat-trick of consecutive wins has been achieved.

The trophy was presented to Ray Ashworth, the managing director of DAF Trucks UK, at a dinner and reception for 1400 luminaries of the industry.
Ashworth was delighted, saying, We are proud that the DAF CF85 has earned this important industry award. Everyone in our industry and throughout the DAF team recognizes the significance of this award since it is an accolade from the fleet operators themselves. To win in 2008, 2009 and 2010 – three of the most challenging years the UK transport industry has ever experienced – underlines the value of this award. It highlights the exceptional fuel economy and overall efficiency of the CF85, together with the outstanding in-service support provided by our nationwide network of dedicated dealers.
