HistoryEdit

The company was formed in 1987 when the Leyland Trucks division, including the Freight Rover van making interests, of the British Rover Group merged with the Dutch DAF Trucks company. The new company, DAF NV, was jointly owned by DAF Beheer BV (60%) and Rover Group (40%). Later the company was floated on the Dutch stock exchange.^[1] The new company traded as Leyland DAF in the UK, and as DAF elsewhere.

The company manufactured trucks at its plants in Leyland, UK and Eindhoven, Netherlands, and vans at its Birmingham, UK plant.

Following the insolvency of DAF NV in 1993 four new companies emerged as management buyouts:

DAF Trucks as a truck manufacturer based in Eindhoven, Netherlands
LDV Limited as a van manufacturer based in Birmingham, UK
Leyland Trucks as a truck manufacturer based in Leyland, UK
Multipart Solutions Limited a logistics company in Chorley, UK
