For the Belgian army CF Military Models, DAF is closely working together with the renowned TATRA TRUCKS in the Czech Republic, which results in a unique chassis concept with a world-class driveline, central backbone tube, and independent suspension of half-axles. This offers the CF Military unequaled off-road capabilities and exceptional driver comfort, even when driving through the most challenging terrains. The trucks are powered by the 10.8 and 12.9 liters PACCAR MX-11 (4x4) and MX-13 (8x8) engines with outputs from 300 kW/410 hp to 340 kW/460 hp.

DAF has selected HIAB as the supplier for all hooklift systems and load handling cranes and VS-Mont for the supply of tipper bodies. Cargo bodies will be produced by Porgest. In total, 352 CF Military vehicles will come with a state-of-the-art ballistic cab, provided by TATRA DEFENCE VEHICLE.

Production of the cabs of the CF Military trucks will take place in DAF's cab plant in Westerlo, Belgium. The engines come from DAF's engine plant in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Chassis will be produced at the TATRA TRUCKS plant in the Czech Republic.
