DAF Puoliperävaunun vetoauto (BC) – Finnish register class for DAF tractor units: six-cylinder engines from 10.8 to 12.9 litres, 315 to 345 kW, gross weights up to 27 tonnes
"Puoliperävaunun vetoauto" is the Finnish vehicle register's term for a semi-trailer tractor unit, and register class BC groups together DAF vehicles of this type. As no factory model name such as CF or XF is recorded in the register, the class distinguishes the vehicles by the displacement of their six-cylinder diesel engines; the suffix "2ov" on some entries denotes the two-door cab, and "A" an automatic transmission.

The register lists 6 versions with 315 to 345 kW from six-cylinder engines of 10,837 to 12,906 cm³. Kerb weights range from 6,900 to 9,044.5 kg, permissible gross weights from 18,000 to 27,000 kg. Lengths span 5,920 to 6,760 mm, widths 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
Tractor units of this power class pull semi-trailers in long-haul transport up to the permissible gross combination weight and compete in Finland, as elsewhere in Europe, directly with Volvo, Scania and Mercedes-Benz for heavy-haulage and freight-forwarding traffic.
When buying a used example, check the mileage and service history of the diesel engine, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, and the frame and fifth wheel; on automatic versions also check the function of the transmission electronics. Spare parts for the drivetrain and chassis are available through the DAF dealer network and independent commercial-vehicle parts suppliers.
