DAF XD Electric Milk Truck Adopts a Retro Racing Look

Van Der Mierden Transport, a Dutch logistics firm, has expanded its fleet with a fully electric DAF XD tractor unit that turns heads wherever it goes. What makes this truck special is its livery, which replicates the racing design of a 1996 DAF racing truck, bringing a touch of motorsport heritage to the daily task of milk collection.

The electric truck will be used for transporting milk, combining the company’s commitment to sustainability with a nostalgic nod to the past. By adopting the bold colors and graphics of the classic racer, Van Der Mierden not only highlights its modern, emission-free operations but also creates a visual link between the history of transportation and its electric future.

This delivery underscores the growing trend of electric vehicles entering specialized logistics roles, even in sectors where heavy loads and long routes have traditionally favored diesel power. The DAF XD Electric proves that zero-emission trucks can be both practical and expressive, offering a unique way for companies to brand their fleets while reducing their carbon footprint.
