DAF Trucks FA – the cab-over chassis code: from the lighter FA 210 through the FA 480 to the heavy FA 530 and the electric FA LF Electric, 151 to 390 kW, unladen weights up to over 10 tonnes
DAF Trucks of Eindhoven, part of the US group PACCAR since 1996, uses the letter F for its cab-over ranges, where the driver's seat sits over the front axle rather than ahead of it; the following A is part of DAF's internal chassis key for the given range. Under the FA register entry sit chassis from the lighter FA 210 through the FA 480 in the FAN and FAR versions to the FA 530 FAW, plus, with the FA LF Electric, a battery-electric chassis built on the DAF LF range.

The register lists here 5 versions with 151 to 390 kW from engines of 4,500 to 12,900 cm³ displacement and unladen weights from 4,134 to 10,468 kg; the chassis are driven predominantly by diesel engines.
Alongside Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Scania and MAN, DAF is one of the large European truck makers; cab-over chassis such as the FA range have for decades formed the basis for municipal vehicles, construction-site tippers, fire-service and special-purpose bodies, since the shorter overall length at a given wheelbase leaves more room for the body.
When buying used, check corrosion on the frame and cab mounts, the condition of clutch and gearbox after high mileage in construction work, AdBlue lines and exhaust aftertreatment, and on the heavy FA 480 and FA 530 the brakes and axles under full load; on the FA LF Electric the battery condition and charge-cycle count. Spare parts run through the DAF dealer network.
