It’s the best lightweight six-wheeler on the market,” Tim King, Turners (Soham) Ltd.   Cambridgeshire tanker and haulage specialist Turners (Soham) Ltd. has taken delivery of its 1,000th lightweight ‘FTP’ 6x2 mid-lift tractor from DAF Trucks. Vehicle number 1,000 is a New Generation DAF XF450 FTP, and part of Turners’ latest order for 69 DAF XF tractor units. The trucks add to the East of England-based company’s growing fleet of over 2,000 vehicles specialising in temperature control, tanker operations, storage, warehousing and container distribution. Turners, the UK’s largest privately-owned logistics company, maintains its position as the world’s largest operator of DAF’s lightweight FTP 6x2 mid-lift tractor unit with over 500 currently operating in the fleet. The latest intake was delivered by Cambridgeshire- and Suffolk-based family-owned DAF Dealer, Chassis Cab. Turners was also part of the New Generation DAF pre-production field test programme, delivering crucial operational feedback prior to the roll-out of DAF’s new heavy duty truck range – voted International Truck of the Year 2022. The DAF MultiSupport Repair & Maintenance package has, the company reports, always been a key factor in Turners’ decision to remain with the DAF marque. ![DSC_1423-1](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC_1423-1.jpg?width=7764&name=DSC_1423-1.jpg) Tim King, Group Fleet Engineer at Turners (Soham) Ltd., said, “We are very well acquainted with DAF’s FTP model. It’s the best lightweight six-wheeler on the market; maximising our payload potential. It’s very reliable and our drivers have always been more than pleased with the XF cab. The latest New Generation XF cab has proved a big hit,” he said, “and it’s certainly a step-change over the previous model. While the product is well proven, it is DAF’s MultiSupport Repair & Maintenance package and aftersales dealer support which has been the ultimate key to our successful long-term relationship with the DAF brand,” he said. Turners’ New Generation DAF XF 450 FTG 6x2 tractor is powered by the 10.8-litre PACCAR MX-11 rated at 450hp, and with 2350 Nm of torque available from 900 rpm. The truck is equipped with the DAF Digital Vision System, passenger-side kerb view window and foldable passenger seat which, together with the larger glass area and lower belt-line of the New Generation DAF, enables the XF to achieve a 3-Star Direct Vision Standard rating for operating in London. Founded in 1930, Turners (Soham) Ltd. is today one of the largest independently owned transport and distribution businesses in the UK. #### Recommended Articles [![First DAF CF Military trucks delivered to Belgian Armed Forces](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hubfs/01.%20DAF%20CF%20Military%20trucks%20-%208x8%20vehicles%20for%20Belgian%20Army.jpg)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/cf-military-vehicles) ###### [First DAF CF Military trucks delivered to Belgian Armed Forces](https://blog.daf.co.uk/cf-military-vehicles) - December 7, 2022 [![Abbey Logistics strengthen tanker fleet with New Generation XFs](https://blog.daf.co.uk/hubfs/DSC_2940-1.jpg)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/abbey-logistics-new-daf-xf-tanker) ###### [Abbey Logistics strengthen tanker fleet with New Generation XFs](https://blog.daf.co.uk/abbey-logistics-new-daf-xf-tanker) - June 28, 2022 #### Recommended Articles Search articles ### Topics - [News (78)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/news) - [Lifestyle (33)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/lifestyle) - [Events (18)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/events) - [New Generation DAF (14)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/new-generation-daf) - [Electric (11)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/electric) - [Videos (9)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/videos) - [Awards (5)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/awards) - [Press Releases (5)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/press-releases) - [Know Your Truck (4)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/know-your-truck) - [Social Media (4)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/social-media) - [Driver Challenge (3)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/driver-challenge) - [Driver Talk (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/driver-talk) - [The CV Show (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/the-cv-show) - [Tips & Tricks (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/tips-tricks) - [Truckfest (2)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/truckfest) - [Leyland Trucks (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/leyland-trucks) - [PACCAR (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/paccar) - [Parts (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/parts) - [Ready to Go (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/ready-to-go) - [Technicians (1)](https://blog.daf.co.uk/tag/technicians) see all ### Most recent articles ### Subscribe to the blog updates ### Recent Posts [Winter Tips for Daily Walk-Around Checks](https://blog.daf.co.uk/winter-tips-for-daily-walk-around-checks) - 5 September, 2022 [DAF Trucks UK Reaches 100k Facebook Followers](https://blog.daf.co.uk/100k-facebook-followers) - 5 September, 2022 [DAF Shines at the APSE Scotland Fleet Seminar](https://blog.daf.co.uk/apse-scotland-fleet-seminar) - 5 September, 2022 [Are you Made For DAF?
