Most left-hand drive DAF trucks are assembled in Eindhoven, while all right-hand drive units for the UK market are produced by Leyland Trucks.

[citation needed] In 2021 DAF was awarded a contract for the delivery and service of 879 military trucks for the Belgian army and the Medical Component of the Belgian Armed Forces.
