Thanks for the info, Do you know anybody from the factory? What year was this film done?

[ClassicRefuseTrucks]

I do not know anyone from VDK, but they are still in business. The film is probably from the 1970's, but I don't know the exact year

My name is Luis Vandekerckhove, I am the grandsun of the founder of VDK, he is 84 by now and I´m sure he´ll be very glad & happy to see this video, thanks for sharing this info, if you could find out more info such as this one from VDK, please share it!

I am happy to share this video, which was donated by a CRT memeber from the Netherlands. It may have been filmed by KUKA to document how their competitors product functioned. If I ever obtain any more, I will post them here in the future. Best Wishes-Eric

The city of Eindhoven, (Netherlands) had over 20 years Unimatic bodies on a Daf F2000 chassis, and 5 of them as a truck-with-trailer ! 1974; serie 2072-2081 , 1982 serie 2151 till 2159, and 1979 trailers, 2251 till 2255. those serienumbers are used as trucknumbers. only the 2152, BD-42-YG from 1982, on a Daf 2105 fag chassis is still "alive" somewhere.... I was working as garbageman with vdk"s from 1990 till 1994, now i drive a Daf 75, Geesink body, for waste paper collection...greetings Sjef.
