Navigating the road ahead
Does transitioning to electric driving feel like uncharted territory? At DAF we guide you every step of the way.
These are exciting times for forward-thinking transportation companies that prioritise sustainability as a core value. Our industry is ready to make a substantial contribution to a better future. Transitioning to electric transport involves numerous considerations, and having the right partner by your side can make all the difference.
At DAF we guide you through every step of your transition, providing support in everything from customising your ideal vehicle to establishing the best charging infrastructure, as well as offering driver training, connectivity and uptime services.
Peace of mind
We understand that for many companies the transition to electric vehicles is a big step. You want to know exactly how it will impact your business. Building on the huge knowledge you already have of transportation, we guide you through the areas where the switch to electric can most impact your operations. From rules and regulations to route planning, and from charging infrastructure to the driver experience.
Optimal return on investment
The quality of any DAF electric truck already ensures highly competitive operating costs, while our comprehensive service plans extend the useful lifetime of your vehicle, contributing to a high residual value. But to achieve an optimal ROI, it’s vital that you have exactly the right vehicles in the right configuration for your operation, along with the most effective financing for your business. Our experts are here to guide you.

Once we have a full picture of your operational requirements, we apply our technical expertise, along with the broad experience we’ve acquired in developing DAF electric trucks. Then we help you configure your vehicles and infrastructure in such a way that you have everything you need and nothing that you don’t.

DAF’s total transport solution, so much more than trucks
We understand that your transition to electric transport is about much more than buying an electric truck. Which is why at DAF we offer a total solution including our connected and uptime services, tailored financial solutions, dedicated electric driver training, as well as charging solutions.
Charging solutions
Selecting the charger best suited to your transport needs is very important. PACCAR Power Solutions offers professional consultation on your charging strategy, so that you have the right charging infrastructure and service from the start. PACCAR chargers have the same proven e-technology, reliability and versatility as DAF’s electric vehicles. For every specific situation there is a charger to suit your business – from compact mobile charging stations to high power chargers that can charge the battery to 80% in just 45 minutes.
Full microgrid solutions
PACCAR Power Solutions offers more than the optimal charging stations. The portfolio also includes advice and support to create your own 'microgrid', featuring solar panels, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS), and high-speed chargers. The solutions can be prepared to automatically trade self-generated solar energy or allow you to sell your self-generated and on-site stored energy at competitive rates to others.
Uptime services
With technology evolving constantly, the service and maintenance of electric trucks require specialist support. With DAF qualified technicians and premium parts, we ensure your trucks spend the least amount of time in the workshop and the most amount of time on the road. All DAF electric vehicles come with the recommended option of a DAF MultiSupport Full Care service plan. So your electric fleet stays in top condition, achieving maximum uptime.
Connected services
PACCAR Connect services give you best possible control of your business processes. From deep, real-time insights into your fleet performance to tailored on-road navigation for drivers. Accessed through the PACCAR Connect Portal, all connected services are available 24/7/365. Helping you increase uptime of your electric vehicles, reduce operational costs and optimise logistical efficiency.
Tailored financial solutions
DAF’s in-house finance provider, PACCAR Financial, can work with you to tailor a financial solution that precisely matches your needs. This can be customised to cover single vehicle or fleet financing, including your best repair, maintenance and finance options.
Driver training
No one is more affected by your transition to electric than your drivers. The DAF Driver Academy provides driver training that covers charging, range, regenerative braking and other key points when driving an electric truck and getting the maximum mileages out of every kW of electricity.
