Although changes in the economy can affect customers buying new vehicles, trucks will always require regular maintenance and repair which means there’s always a need for highly trained, skilled technical, parts and customer service teams both now and in the future.
So, whether you are interested in a Technical, Parts or Commercial Skills Apprenticeship, working in the motor industry guarantees job security and with the evolution of more sophisticated and innovative trucks, you will be part of the future of transport and logistics.
Many of those not working in the transportation or trucking industries do not realize the importance of trucks to our daily lives. When you’re used to something always being there, it’s easy to take it for granted.
Here in the UK we enjoy a high quality of life. But how often does the public really stop to think about how it’s all made possible?
85% of everything we buy, eat, wear and use is moved by a UK-registered truck.
The UK moves more goods by road than any other European country.
It’s hardly surprising then that the road transport industry is one of the country’s key industries, employing over half a million people and making a major contribution to the economy.
Around 50,000 new trucks are registered in Britain every year. DAF Trucks Limited outsells all other manufacturers and our impressive track record makes us a major force in the road transport industry.
The future of the transport industry is a challenging and exciting one. If you have what it takes to be part of the best in the business then the DAF Apprentice Programme is the programme for you.
