News; Big Electric Order

If like me you are a technology nerd you’ll be happy to see today’s news that DFDS have ordered 100 electric Volvos. It’ll be great to finally have a good number of them out in the wild answering questions about them, their suitability etc and answer the question of what the future holds. Will it be hydrogen or electric, or a mix. I think it’ll be a mix at first but one will come out on top eventually. I hear all the complaints about range, purchase cost, weight etc but the more that go on the road the more these will improve. We are at the very start of this, technology is moving incredibly fast and problems being solved all the time. Looking forward to first drive in one.

A SHORT DAF XF REVIEW

DAF Review So, one of most common questions I'm asked lately is what I think of the DAF. Obviously for a long time time I've mostly driven Volvos and Scanias and before this job it was well over a decade since I last tramped full time in a DAF (for HSF). As you know though I had driven later models and hated the body XF with a passion!  When the current version came out DAF seemed very confidant it would change my mind about them in our Twitter exchanges but I thought how different can it be? The answer? A lot. In some ways its like a completely different truck despite being almost identical in looks. Firstly- the gearbox. The auto on previous DAFs was a fupping disaster and everyone knew it! Show, jerky and just generally rubbish in a way no auto should be this late in the day. That's completely changed, for the vast majority of the time it's indistinguishable from an iShift (that having long been the good standard). Yes it has its odd moments but they are very rare an...
