LEYLAND TRUCKS
Leyland, the United Kingdom’s leading truck manufacturer, celebrated its eleventh
anniversary as a PACCAR company. Leyland delivered 8,100 vehicles to customers in
Europe, Australia, Africa and North America.
Leyland’s highly efficient 710,000-square-foot manufacturing facility incorporates an innovative robotic
chassis paint facility, an in-house body design and a state-of-the-art production system that builds the entire
DAF product range — LF, CF and XF — for right- and left-hand drive markets.
Leyland introduced the Euro 5 DAF truck range during 2009, incorporating lower emissions with improved
fuel economy, enhanced braking systems and advanced software diagnostics. The plant expanded its body building
program to offer more customer-specific options, resulting in higher market share and improved profitability.
Unveiled in 2009, Leyland’s Product and Technology Center showcases PACCAR products, technologies and
services in an interactive environment designed to increase customer awareness of the company’s quality leadership.
Leyland was honored during the year by earning the Manufacturing Excellence (MX) Award presented by the
Institute of Mechanical Engineers. Leyland also earned the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International
Trade 2009.
Leyland enhanced delivery schedules for customers of DAF vehicles by offering factory-installed high-quality van bodies. Leyland
expanded the innovative program to incorporate more specialized, application-specific options that will launch the vans into more
market segments.
