DAF truck maker accused of ‘stringing out’ hauliers’ legal case for compensation

Lawsuit by 11,000 claimants calling for 6,000 a truck compensation follows 2016 EU ruling manufacturers were guilty of long-term price-fixing

The UK's largest truck maker has been accused of stringing out" legal proceedings to deny justice" to about 11,000 truck hauliers seeking compensation for the manufacturers' historical price fixing.

The comments from the head of the Road Haulage Association (RHA) came almost nine years after the world's largest truck companies, including UK leader DAF, Volvo, MAN and Iveco, were fined about 3bn by the European Union for colluding for 14 years on pricing and passing on the costs of compliance with stricter emission rules.
