Leyland Trucks has donated engines, components and equipment to Preston’s College to help apprentices and students gain hands on engineering experience.
The donation of the prototype LF DAF Truck has been made to teach those studying Engineering and Automotive disciplines how to disassemble, then reassemble truck components that are recognised and used the world over.
It is the second donation of its kind by the Lancashire firm, which previously gifted a DAF CF vehicle to the college and sponsored the Electrical & Electronics area of its iSTEM Centre which opened in 2015.
