DAF Trucks has been choosing Carling Technologies for decades

DAF Trucks sets extremely high standards for the components used in its vehicles. For decades, it has relied on Carling Technologies switches—because of their proven reliability, consistent quality, and long-lasting performance. In 2023, this collaboration was recognized with an award from DAF/PACCAR.

The Challenge

For vehicles that perform day in, day out in demanding conditions, reliability is not a luxury – it is a requirement. DAF was looking for switches that would not only last for years, but also continue to function flawlessly under all conditions. Components must be able to withstand vibration, temperature changes, dust, moisture, and intensive use.

Our Approach

The choice fell on Carling Technologies' V-Series switches, a globally proven series that:

• Is mechanically robust

• Is fully sealable and dust/waterproof

• Delivers excellent service life and performance

• Is easy to adapt to OEM-specific requirements

Intercomponents has been a permanent link in this collaboration for many years and ensures that DAF consistently has the right switches, fully compliant with their specifications and quality standards.

The Result

The V-Series has become a permanent fixture in the dashboard of DAF Trucks. In 2023, Carling Technologies was honored by DAF/PACCAR with a prestigious supplier award in recognition of its many years of reliability, delivery reliability, and product quality. This award confirms that the selected switch not only meets expectations but exceeds them.
