DAF Used Trucks Center, spanning nearly 34,000 sqm, completed near Warsaw with support from Cushman & Wakefield

14 April 2026

A large parking yard for hundreds of trucks, a service facility preparing vehicles for sale and offices supporting clients in Poland and Central Asia – this is DAF Used Trucks Center Warsaw in brief. The facility is located in Urzut, near Warsaw, along the S8 expressway. The Industrial & Logistics and Project & Development Services (PDS) teams of global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield combined their advisory and design expertise in project delivery to provide comprehensive support to the investor, PACCAR Financial Polska Sp. z o.o., from plot selection and acquisition through to project management.

DAF Trucks Polska has been active in the Polish market since 1995, supplying trucks to transport companies. Ten years later, the company launched a used vehicle division, which continues to expand its operations.

The new center features an approximately 33,000 sqm parking yard with capacity formore than 500 trucks, as well as a modern service area including a 500 sqm truck wash, offices and staff facilities (400 sqm). The complex will support both domestic transactions in the Polish market and vehicle sales to countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

This investment is of strategic importance to our business. The center in Urzut will be DAF’s largest used trucks center in Europe and will serve as an operational hub supporting clients across multiple markets. That is why, from the very beginning, we sought a partner to support us throughout the entire process,”

says Pepijn van Buren, Marketing and Sales Director PACCAR Financial Europe.

Location first

One of the first challenges of the project was finding a plot near Warsaw, close to a high-speed road to ensure high visibility and that the project could be delivered at its intended scale.

In projects for the truck market, a location must meet two conditions simultaneously – it must provide logistical accessibility and be visible to clients. This is not a typical warehouse tucked away in a logistics park. Vehicle presentation is part of the business model. In our analysis of available plots within the Warsaw agglomeration, we considered their development potential, planning conditions and the technical feasibility of project delivery,”

says Paulina Zdeb, Land Specialist, Industrial & Logistics Agency, Cushman & Wakefield.

In the end, the six-hectare site in Urzut was selected. Situated just off the S8 expressway, it offers strong visibility of the center to traffic in both directions and provides adequate space for the planned infrastructure.

The Cushman & Wakefield team also coordinated the plot acquisition process, from negotiating transaction terms to collaborating with legal and technical advisers. At the same time, in cooperation with the Project & Development Services team, a detailed due diligence survey was carried out to confirm project feasibility and mitigate risks.

Purchasing the plot is just the beginning

After the transaction was finalized, the project entered the investment phase, led by Project & Development Services (PDS). The PDS team oversaw project management and cost control, handling tasks such as securing utilities, connecting the property to the road network, selecting a designer and coordinating the design process to meet the investor’s requirements, appointing the general contractor, supervising project delivery and conducting the final inspection before handing over the property for use.

We had to address challenging soil conditions across the vast project site and design a system for draining rainwater from an extensive paved area. For projects with such a large paved surface, thorough technical preparation from the outset is essential. If geotechnical conditions or drainage are not properly accounted for, problems may arise during construction. That is why we placed strong emphasis on creating a detailed project brief and realistic budget estimates,”

says Roman Litwin, Senior Project Manager, Project & Development Services, Cushman & Wakefield.

The end result is the largest DAF Used Trucks Center in Europe, located near Warsaw. DAF Used Trucks Center Warsaw will be more than just a point of sale – it will also serve as a hub providing clients with advice, services and technical support in preparing vehicles for further use.
