DAF presented the LF Electric truck to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2023. This electric DAF truck is used to transport festive items from the Van Gogh Museum to schools and communities throughout the Netherlands.
The Van Gogh Museum is visited by more than 1.5 million visitors from all over the world every year. It was officially opened on June 2, 1973. The museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a series of exceptional exhibitions and festive events.
“Vincent’s paintings bring color to our lives,” says Emily Hordenker, director general of the Van Gogh Museum. “His art and outlook on life inspire so many. There are many more Vincents among us – those who inspire others with their talent or passion. Or people who support others no matter what. There were many wonderful nominations and the jury selected fifty winners for a special limited edition reproduction that we are raffling off.”

The Van Gogh Museum uses the DAF LF Electric to distribute the exclusive collection of Van Gogh Museum Editions – high-quality 3D reproductions of Van Gogh’s works – and for other promotional activities. The truck’s body design depicts part of Van Gogh’s world-famous painting Sunflowers, and the superstructure is beautifully appointed inside, where winners can receive their Van Gogh Museum Edition painting in the perfect setting.
“We are proud of our partnership with the Van Gogh Museum”
