Model Details

Bring global intermodal freight realism into your HO scale collection with the DAF XG Container Semitrailer “Acargo / Yang Ming” from Herpa. This highly detailed 1:87 scale model represents a modern DAF XG long-haul tractor unit paired with a container semitrailer, finished in a distinctive dual corporate livery combining Acargo logistics branding with Yang Ming maritime container identity.

The model reflects a very current type of European port-to-inland logistics operation. The Acargo truck represents the land-based freight operator, while the Yang Ming container references global ocean shipping networks. Together they form a typical seaport corridor setup used in real intermodal transport between major ports such as Rotterdam and Hamburg and inland distribution hubs.

The DAF XG cab is one of DAF’s most advanced long-distance truck platforms, designed for maximum driver space, aerodynamic efficiency, and fuel optimization. In this configuration it is paired with a standard container chassis, highlighting flexibility in handling ISO containers used worldwide in maritime trade.

The dual branding is the key visual feature. Acargo provides the trucking identity, while Yang Ming brings in the global shipping layer. This reflects how modern logistics is rarely single-company in practice, since containers routinely move across multiple operators from ship to rail to truck before reaching their final destination.
