Eindhoven-based car maker DAF Trucks has received an order for 700 vehicles from Russian transport group Monopoly, the company says on its website.

The order was placed at the IAA trade fair in Hannover. Monopoly is based in St Petersburg and specialises in transporting goods in controlled conditions.

Last week DAF announced an order for 1,000 vehicles from European transport group Waberer’s International. DAF is also setting up its own marketing and sales arm in Istanbul to strengthen its market position in Turkey.
