IN RESPONSE TO driver feedback over in-cab security, Daf has introduced a night lock which, the truck-manufacturer says, will withstand a crowbar assault.
The lock consists of a hardened steel pin mounted on the rear side wall of the cab, which slides into a reinforced armrest on the door.
In an emergency, the lock is released by pressing the big red button (pictured), while an external decal warns bandits not to bother.
The Daf Night Lock will shortly be on sale through the Daf parts network for retrofitting to the XE105, with applications for earlier >LB scheduled to be available early next year.
