DAF 66 YA

     Notes: This is basically a civilian car converted to military use.  The conversions include a starter switch instead of keys, a collapsible top and folding windshield, a radio mount, larger fuel tank, beefed-up electrical system (necessary to support military radios), and features such as blackout lights.  The rear seats may be folded down to increase cargo space.  A weapon mount is optional.  Not having a 4x4 suspension (it is 4x2), off-road performance is lacking compared to other vehicles in its class. The engine is a B110E gasoline engine developing 47 horsepower, with a Variomatic transmission. The brakes are power assisted, but steering is not. These vehicles were largely replaced in Dutch service by various versions of the Land Rover; in the 1990s, the DAF 66 YAs were largely sold off to private individuals, collectors, and museums.

DAF YA 126

     Notes: Depending on how you look at it, this is a small truck or large jeep.  It is of conventional layout, with engine in front, cab in center, and rear cargo area.  The YA 126 was designed to replace the Dodge WC51, and appears to resemble that vehicle. The YA 126 is called by Dutch troops the Wep, short in Dutch for weapons carrier. In some models the front bumper has a winch with a capacity of 2.5 tons.  On each side of the vehicle below and behind the cab are spare tires; these are freely mounted and can assist in soft terrain. The suspension is 4x4, switchable to 4x2 for road use. The YA 126 is powered by a Hercules JXC gasoline engine developing 102 horsepower. The maximum towing capacity is 2.5 tons.

     Variants include a van body for use as an ambulance or a workshop, and a command variant.
