Concentrate on business
A DAF MultiSupport Repair & Maintenance contract is always tailor-made.

Furthermore, the DAF dealer takes care of all maintenance planning and administration, thereby enabling transport companies to concentrate on their core business.
Fixed price, maximum vehicle availability
With a DAF MultiSupport Repair & Maintenance contract, transport operators are guaranteed a perfectly maintained fleet and maximum vehicle availability at a fixed price per kilometre. DAF MultiSupport offers four service packages, varying from preventive maintenance right up to all conceivable repair and maintenance services. With 8 offices in Europe, Baton Transport has chosen DAF MultiSupport Full Care contracts as standard for its DAF fleet, which comprises more than 90 vehicles, including a growing number of the New Generation DAF XF, XG and XG⁺ trucks – International Truck of the Year 2022.
