DAF AT – tractor unit chassis code with the CF range: 9.2 to 12.6-litre six-cylinder engines, gross vehicle weight 26,000 to 38,000 kg
This collective page covers DAF trucks listed in the register under the chassis code AT; among the models, AT 75 CF represents the regular DAF CF range, built since 1997 as a medium-to-heavy range between the smaller LF segment and the flagship XF. The numbers 47, 48, 75 and 85 in the type designations denote different vehicle variants within the AT code. DAF itself is a Dutch truck manufacturer based in Eindhoven, part of the American PACCAR group since 1996, which also owns the Kenworth and Peterbilt brands.

The register lists 5 versions here with displacements from 9,186 to 12,580 cm³, six cylinders throughout, kerb weights from 11,660 to 16,460 kg, gross vehicle weights from 26,000 to 38,000 kg, lengths from 7,470 to 9,820 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
Vehicles of this weight class work as tractor units and heavy distribution trucks in long-haul transport and construction logistics, where DAF ranks alongside Mercedes-Benz, Scania and Volvo among the established European makes, with plants in Eindhoven, Westerlo in Belgium and the British Leyland Trucks site.
On used examples, operating hours and the service history of the six-cylinder diesel, the condition of the clutch and gearbox at high mileage, and corrosion on the chassis frame and cab mounts all matter; spare parts are available through DAF's dense European service network.
