Home Imperial Commercials Doncaster News DAF CF85 Awarded 'Fleet Truck of the Year 2009'

At the presentation of the prestigious ‘Motor Transport Awards 2009’ in London, the DAF CF85 has been awarded ‘Fleet Truck of the Year’ for the second year running. The ‘Motor Transport Awards’ are the UK’s premier transport industry awards scheme, organised by trade magazine Motor Transport. “The CF85 meets all of an operator's needs for reliability, back-up, cost management and driver satisfaction. By far the best overall vehicle”, concluded the jury after a comparison of five different vehicles competing in the final selection process for the award.

Great accolade
During a glittering presentation in London’s Grosvenor House the trophy was handed to Ray Ashworth, managing director of DAF Trucks UK, by Mark Barton, sales director of BRS, sponsor of the award. “This is a great accolade for the CF85 and for everybody in the UK sales team and across the dealer network,” said Ray Ashworth. “It is made all the more significant because fleet operators vote for this award and they are discerning buyers in the market.

It is the ninth time that the CF85 or one of its predecessors has won The Fleet Truck of the Year accolade. “This confirms that operators recognise the product development and continuous improvement that lies behind the model,” said Ashworth “We are clearly being recognised again for meeting the needs of our customers for fuel efficient vehicles offering good environmental performance and increased safety. That’s the genius of evolution!”

It is 23 years since the MT Awards were introduced and in that time DAF has won a vehicle award on an unequalled 12 occasions.
