Leyland Trucks has celebrated the 400,000th commercial vehicle rolling off the production line at its Leyland assembly facility.
The landmark vehicle was one of the DAF XF 460 FTP tractor units, which was then handed to its customer Carr's Flour of Silloth in Cumbria with a special presentation.
Carr's Flour managing director Steve Mattinson was invited to the facility as part of Leyland's Building Britain series of events.
Mr Mattinson said he is very proud to be a DAF operator, as his company has a long history of acquiring British-built trucks.
He also praised the vehicle for its high standards of construction and expressed his confidence that he has a very reliable truck backed by excellent aftersales service.
"We receive excellent support from Solway DAF in Carlisle," Mr Mattinson commented. "Throughout the DAF dealer network in fact, back-up is first class and, as a result, we enjoy virtually no downtime."
