DAF AV – heavy trucks with an 8.25-litre six-cylinder diesel from Dutch registration statistics: single and double cab, gross weights up to 19.5 tonnes
The AV range stands for heavy trucks from the Dutch maker DAF of Eindhoven; the type designations carried in this register, such as AV 75 PC DUBBELE CABINE (Dutch for double cab), show that the vehicles are captured through Dutch registration statistics. The trailing letter codes such as HT, NC, PC, RC and HC distinguish cab and body variants within the range.

The register lists 7 versions in this range with unladen weights of 8,700 to 14,020 kg, gross weights of 11,300 to 19,500 kg, lengths of 6,980 to 8,400 mm and widths of 2,460 to 2,550 mm; the recorded displacement is 8,250 cm³ from a six-cylinder.
As a heavy range in the mid-to-upper weight segment, the AV range served long-haul and construction transport in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries, and the double-cab version shows that DAF addressed the need for crew transport in construction and municipal work at an early stage.
When buying a used example of these DAF trucks, checks include rust on the cab and frame, the condition of the 8.25-litre six-cylinder diesel and its injection system, the function of the braking system, and, on double-cab versions, the condition of the second row of seats and the body extension; parts are carried by workshops specialising in classic commercial vehicles in the Netherlands and Germany.
