A small correction on the start of this thread…not 1953 as introduction-year but
1950 as then the A-10 chassis/van was introduced on the RAI in Amsterdam. From
23rd March till 1st April visitors could see that DAF also had solutions for the small
commercial vehicles.Powered with Hercules (petrol) engine, type IXB (4 cyl. 2.18ltr.)
providing 46 HP with a load capacity of 1.100kgs. Options were a chassis or a complete
bodied van. Till about 1955 some 500 were produced and sold to mainly the Dutch Post,
Van Gend & Loos, Etos bakeries and for municipal purposes like ambulance, fire brigade
and police.
