DAF F 95 en 95 XF - New Truck Generation
In August 1987, DAF expanded its heavy-duty truck lineup with a new model: the DAF 95. A robust addition to the DAF fleet, the new 95 marked the beginning of a series initially referred to as the New Truck Generation. DAF took a comprehensive approach, introducing a diverse range of trucks with the new F 249 cabin under the name "Concept 95." In 1988, the 95 series earned DAF the prestigious Truck of the Year title. Over 67,000 chassis of the DAF 95 were produced.
At the Brussels Motor Show in 1997, the 95XF was introduced as the successor to the DAF 95. The "XF" designation stood for eXtra Forte, representing more than just an update to the 95 series. Approximately 80% of the truck underwent a complete redesign. A decade after winning its first Truck of the Year title, DAF received the honor again in 1998 for the 95XF, with almost 79,000 chassis produced.
This book narrates the development of the 95 and 95XF series, which marked a significant success for DAF. It showcases the various configurations within both ranges. As of the book's writing in 2020, the F 249 cabin, in a substantially modified form, continues to be in production.
