DAF trucks 3.5-12 t (class N2) – collective page for the EU medium-truck class: the historic A range (A1300 to A2200) and the later 45/55 types as predecessors of the LF range, engines from 77 to 194 kW, gross weights up to 12 t
The EU vehicle class N2 covers trucks from 3.5 to 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every DAF range recorded in that class. DAF (Van Doorne's Aanhangwagen Fabriek) was founded in 1928 in Eindhoven and has belonged to the US group Paccar since 1996. The model list shows DAF's historic type scheme from the 1960s to 1980s: the A range (A1100, A1300, A1600, A2200) combines a number for the approximate weight class with engine codes such as BA, DA or DD; the numbers 1300/1600 also appear as standalone model names. The 1980s brought the 45 and 55 ranges, from which the DAF LF range later emerged after the merger with Leyland Trucks (1987).

The register lists 305 versions, with recorded outputs of 77 to 194 kW, displacements of 2,461 to 11,630 cm³ across 4 to 7 cylinders, kerb weights of 3,260 to 10,651 kg and gross vehicle weights of 4,390 to 12,000 kg; width ranges from 2,090 to 2,600 mm, length from 3,560 to 10,750 mm.
As a Dutch manufacturer with a long tradition in distribution trucks, DAF occupies the same niche in this class as MAN and Mercedes-Benz, with a particular focus on the Benelux market.
On a used example, what matters on the old A and 45/55 ranges is frame corrosion, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, the braking system including the trailer brake valve, plus the history of the body. Spare parts for the historic A types are limited, better for the later 45/55 predecessors of the LF range through the DAF network.
