The very first RTX Northern Ireland is gearing up to make a big impression – and organisers have now unveiled one of the show’s most anticipated features: the full Ride & Drive line-up.
The Ride & Drive Experience gives attendees the rare chance to get hands-on with the newest trucks, vans, and cutting‑edge technologies from some of the biggest names in the industry. Whether you’re curious about the latest electric models, want to feel the power of next‑generation diesel, or simply want to compare what different manufacturers are offering, this is your chance to get behind the wheel.
Manufacturers including DAF, MAN, Mercedes‑Benz, Renault, Scania, and IVECO will be showcasing their newest innovations – from electric tractor units to advanced CNG models and the latest in driver‑focused cab design.
Licensed HGV drivers can take selected vehicles out on a dedicated test route, putting them through their paces in real‑world conditions. Not an HGV driver? No problem — you can still experience the vehicles from the passenger seat alongside a professional driver.
This year’s Ride & Drive line-up includes:
- DAF XF 350 FT Electric 4×2 tractor & trailer (350 kW)
- DAF XD 260 FA 4×2 rigid with PX‑7 engine (260 hp) & PowerLine gearbox
