PACCAR sells DAF, Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks and parts to customers in 100
countries around the world. In 2012, the company expanded its geographic
diversification through significant investments in Brasil, Russia, India and China.
PACCAR is constructing a $200 million DAF truck assembly facility on a 569-acre site in Ponta Grossa, Brasil.
This state-of-the-art facility is scheduled for completion in 2013 and is designed to assemble the DAF XF, CF and
LF models. DAF Brasil dealers are purchasing land and constructing new dealership facilities throughout Brasil
to support introduction of the DAF brand. The Brasilian 6+ tonne truck market in 2012 was 133,000 units.
DAF increased truck sales in Russia to 2,700 vehicles in 2012. Kenworth’s and DAF’s Russian distribution
network increased to 29 dealer locations. DAF continued its expansion in Taiwan with the launch of the DAF LF,
complementing the highly successful DAF CF. DAF is the largest European truck manufacturer in the Taiwan
16+ tonne segment.
The PACCAR Technical Center in Pune, India, expanded its operations in 2012. The Technical Center accelerates
new product and systems development by delivering industry-leading resources to PACCAR’s global engineering,
information technology and purchasing organizations.
The new DAF Brasil factory is 300,000 square-feet and will produce the DAF XF, CF and LF models. The DAF trucks will be distributed to
all countries in South America. The DAF Brasil factory will begin production in late 2013.
