Leyland DAF

Leyland DAF

Leyland DAF was a commercial vehicle manufacturing company based in the United Kingdom, and a division of DAF NV. In 1993 DAF NV became insolvent and Leyland DAF went into receivership.

History

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. [cite web

] 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 three new companies emerged as management buyouts: LDV Limited as a van manufacturer based in Birmingham, UK, Leyland Trucks as a truck manufacturer based in Leyland, UK and DAF Trucks as a truck manufacturer based in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
