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 diesels carry an extended set of maps for commercial load, with the focus on torque. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on modern Euro-6 truck engines. Truck chip tuning is a discipline of its own, focused on fuel consumption and pulling power rather than peak output.
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. Top MAN units sit at the power ceiling of the European truck segment.
