DAF specialises in long-haul tractor units and medium-duty trucks. DAF has been part of the American PACCAR group since 1996. DAF is a Dutch truck manufacturer, founded in 1928. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output. The factory calibration is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1 while preserving engine life. High-output diesels head the truck segment, and Stage 1 is especially felt in Nm.

The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. On high-output trucks, Stage 1 reduces fuel consumption under load. High-output MAN units are long-haul tractors with solid headroom for Stage 1.
