Leyland DAF was acommercial vehicle manufacturing company based inLeyland, United Kingdom, and a subsidiary ofDAF NV. In February 1993, Leyland DAF was placed intoreceivership.

Leyland DAF was formed in February 1987, when theLeyland Trucks division, including theFreight Rover van making interests, of the BritishRover Group merged with the DutchDAF Trucks company to formDAF NV which was owned by DAF Beheer (60%) and Rover Group (40%).^[1][2]

In June 1989, it was floated on the Dutch andLondon Stock Exchanges.^[3][4] The new company traded as Leyland DAF in the United Kingdom, and as DAF elsewhere. The company manufactured trucks at its plants inEindhoven, Netherlands andLeyland, United Kingdom, and vans at itsWashwood Heath (Birmingham) plant in the United Kingdom.

Following the insolvency of DAF NV in February 1993, Leyland DAF went into receivership. Four new companies emerged from it asmanagement buyouts:^[5]

• Multipart Solutions, which was formed out of the firms parts company based inChorley; later acquired byTVS Supply Chain Solutions.
• Leyland Trucks as a truck manufacturer based inLeyland;^[6] would be acquired byPaccar in 1998.

Leyland Trucks andDAF Trucks (the Dutch successor to DAF NV) would both later come back together in 1998 when Paccar acquired Leyland Trucks.^[7][8][9]

Despite the company ceasing trading in 1993, the Leyland DAF marque remained on some existing trucks until 2000, after which the Leyland part of the marque was dropped and trucks coming out of the Leyland plant started being solely produced under the DAF marque.

In July 1994, Leyland Technical Centre, formerly part of the Leyland DAF global test operations, and located close to the Leyland Trucks site also emerged as amanagement buyout.
