The Bertschi Group has received its 1,500th DAF truck. This New Generation DAF 480 FT 4×2 tractor unit strengthens the international Bertschi fleet and ensures timely chemical transport across Europe. Based on extensive experience with the vehicles of the new DAF generation, Bertschi opted for the DAF XF. Key factors were its outstanding efficiency, safety, and driver comfort.

Additionally, Bertschi is a leading global provider of ISO tank transport and logistical value-added services for the chemical industry.

“A reliable and efficient truck”
The 1,500th DAF truck from Bertschi will be used across Europe. Hans-Jörg Bertschi, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bertschi, expressed his enthusiasm for the DAF XF: “These DAF trucks play a crucial role in the efficient handling of the first and last mile in Bertschi’s intermodal transport chains and complement the company’s goal for sustainable and integrated transport solutions. The new generation DAF has proven to be reliable and highly efficient. Our drivers appreciate the luxurious and comfortable cabins.” Hans-Jörg Bertschi adds: “Moreover, the complete equipment with the latest safety systems perfectly aligns with our high safety standards in transport. Additionally, the new generation DAF can be operated with HVO and biodiesel, providing us with more flexibility in using renewable fuels and supporting our efforts for a more sustainable future.”
