DAF » Torpedo

To meet the more conservative demands of specific sectors of the market, DAF introduced its first bonneted truck in 1957, with mechanical specifications similar to the cab-over-engine models. Generically known as the 'Torpedo' series, the new trucks were initially supplied as a chassis and bonnet, allowing coachbuilders to construct the cab. However, DAF introduced versions with its own in-house cab in 1958.

The 13 and 16 series were available in various rigid 4x2 chassis configurations suitable for a variety of platform and tipper bodies. A 155 bhp Hercules petrol engine was listed as an option, as was the Perkins P6. Hovewer, the license-built 105 bhp Leyland 0.350 and DAF's own DD575 were the most popular fitments.

A 24-ton GVW 4x2 tractor unit, known as the T18 series, was also added to the range in 1959, and this featured a turbocharged 5.75-litre diesel producing 165 bhp, which DAF numbered the DS575. The development of this engine was a major milestone for DAF as it became one of the very first manufacturers to offer turbocharging as a standard fitment. Large numbers of these trucks were exported to Iran and featured Trilex wheels. In 1965, DAF presented the last model from 'Torpedo' range - the rigid 4x2 truck A18.
