13 tractor-trailer combinations for heavy-duty use
DAF Trucks has received an additional order from the Belgian army for 13 more heavy-duty tractor-trailer combinations. This order follows a previous contract for 888 trucks, the last of which will be delivered this year.
In 2022, the Belgian army placed an initial order with DAF consisting of 636 two-axle trucks with a 4x4 drivetrain for general transport tasks, and 243 four-axle trucks with an 8x8 drivetrain for specific applications (such as tippers, container transport, and operations requiring a crane). Later that year, an additional order was placed for 9 heavy-duty tractor-trailer combinations designed for the rapid and safe recovery of vehicles in operational and conflict zones. Based on their proven reliability and unmatched off-road capabilities, the Belgian army is now ordering 13 more of these PEVs (Protected Evacuation Vehicles). (....)
