DAF » Series 30 / 40 / 50 / 60

In 1949, DAF presents its first two truck chassis to the press: the A-30 (3 tonnes) and the A-50 (5 tonnes). They were quickly followed by the 6-ton A-60. The vehicles are characterized by a grille with seven chromium strips and form the basis for the forward control trucks (cab over engine).

The first trucks were assembled in small numbers using components brought in from other manufacturers. Imported Hercules 4041cc JXE3 six-cylinder petrol engines, producing 91bhp, were chosen for the lighter trucks, whilst the more powerful 4620cc, 102bhp JXC unit was used in the heavier chassis, which proved an ideal choice, as there were hoards of spare parts available from ex-military sales. The British-built 74-83bhp Perkins P6 was the diesel option. Axles were sourced from Timken, and cabs were initially constructed by local coachbuilders.

Most of the first DAF trucks, introduced in 1949, were produced at the old trailer works and supplied to the Dutch army. Initially, DAF only provided a powered chassis with an all-steel cab available as a 1400 Dutch guilder option. This allowed buyers to get local coachbuilders to build truck cabs, as well as bodies, for an all-inclusive price. The all-steel cab was to become a standard fitment in 1951.

The model range included a lot of versions where the letters mean the engine type and wheelbase, while the numbers — payload in tonnes.
