DAF Trucks – other models: the collective page for factory F- and G-type codes outside the named series, from classic F chassis to the electric CF, diesel engines from 129 to 390 kW
DAF (Van Doorne's Automobielfabriek) was founded in Eindhoven in 1928 and has built trucks since the 1950s; the company has belonged to the American Paccar group since 1996. This page gathers vehicles listed in the register under factory type codes such as F0101A or G0709A that are not assigned to a named series – the letters F and G denote different chassis and cab variants of the classic DAF series, while the digit strings specify the engine and axle configuration. The designations FAN CF Electric and FT CF Electric mark battery-electric variants of the modern CF series, which DAF has offered for distribution haulage since the 2020s.

The register holds 66 versions here, of which 60 carry engine data: diesel engines with 129 to 390 kW and 4,500 to 12,900 cc displacement, kerb weights from 3,791 to 11,171 kg. Every vehicle recorded here is diesel-powered.
The F and G series formed the backbone of DAF's model line-up in the medium and heavy segment for decades, before the CF and XF series unified the naming scheme from the 2000s onward. The electric CF variants reflect the manufacturer's current shift to battery power in distribution haulage.
On the classic F/G chassis, check for corrosion in the frame and cab mounts, the condition of the clutch and manual gearbox, and the tightness of the injection system; on the electric CF, check battery condition, the charging connector and software updates. Parts for the classic series come through commercial-vehicle specialists, while current models are supported through the DAF dealer network.
