From bustling Causeway Bay in Hong Kong to the vibrant streets of Havana, congestion knows no boundaries. The DAF 95 XF wide trucks navigate through the maze of vehicles, showcasing the relentless traffic in these urban hubs. In London's Covent Garden, a sea of cars fills every inch of space, while Jakarta's Tuk-tuks add their colorful charm to Southeast Asia's congested roads. The M25 Motorway near London becomes a stagnant river of cars during rush hour, as commuters endure endless queues. Taipei's cityscape transforms into a mesmerizing spectacle at night, with Taipei 101 standing tall amidst the chaos below.

Meanwhile, Havana Centro showcases pedestrians skillfully maneuvering through crowded streets alongside vintage cars. An ever-present reminder of our fast-paced world where movement often comes to a standstill.
