Going the Extra Mile
Leading UD Trucks’ charge in the 21T-plus heavy segment is the Quester range which has been purposelydesigned with a combination of robust chassis, a true heavy duty cabin and an optimised drive-line in terms of performance and durability. Productivity is also increased, with a higher payload capacity – you’ll find a wide variety of specifications on wheelbase and axles that can help maximise payload. Available in both Manual and Automated-Manual transmission options, the Quester, in particular, is designed for handling heavier loads in tough conditions.
There are also benefits from better uptime, due to a longer service life. For example, the optional hub reduction rear axles increase service life in tough conditions. The engine was developed with the most modern technology, allowing longer service intervals and there is also high component durability.
The Quester is also designed to make superstructure installation very easy. The comprehensive bodybuilder instructions and power take offs for specific applications make it ideal to be adapted for all assignments and road conditions. As examples of superstructure variants, you’ll find Quester Mixer; Quester Concrete Pump; Quester Tanker; and Quester Tipper. The recent regional entry of the 40T Quester brings extra power, durability and operational efficiency to its class. It is fitted with new rugged

For heavy construction work, 4x2, 6×4 and 8×4 rigid configurations provide flexibility to match the truck to the job, and of top of that, the Quester is equipped with ESCOT, an automated manual transmission for easy driving, better fuel consumption and maintenance cost.
With the medium-duty Croner, UD Trucks has created a reliable and versatile 4x2 truck range built with robust and quality components to deliver extra productivity and superior uptime. Rated for the all-important 10.4–19T segment, it has been designed with customers’ demands and business needs in mind. Croner was tested extensively in the region during development and is engineered to help customers stay ahead of competition through the simple concept of saving time.
