UD Trucks launch Quester 40T construction variant

Japanese heavy trucks’ manufacturer, UD Trucks, has unveiled a new series of Quester models, designed specifically for heavy construction.

The Quester 6x4R-40 tonnes and 8x4R with hub reduction completes the heavy-duty Quester range, which was launched in the MEENA region in 2016 and designed, sourced and manufactured for customers in the Middle East and other growth markets.

These new models boasts reinforced front suspension, higher ground clearance and an 11-litre engine (GH11E) ?based on the Volvo Group’s global ?technology resources in combination with Japanese ?manufacturing quality. Features such as fuel economy, payload, robustness and a wide range of applications, not only to meet different needs of the customers but also extend the uptime of the truck.

Commenting on the new Quester models, Mourad Hedna, president of UD Trucks Middle East, East and North Africa said: “We are very excited about the arrival of the Quester 6x4R-40T and 8x4R which complete the Quester model range line-up. The Middle East conditions are tough, with the varied terrain, high temperatures and payloads. To ensure the new models meet the needs of our customers, we tested the model in real conditions for over a year in Qatar. We are confident that the now complete range of Quester with its proven fuel-efficient engines and UD Trucks quality – will set ?new standards of efficiency in the Middle East and other growth markets.”lowresImage 3 UD Trucks Quester

The new Quester range is robust and strong, utilising a combination of global technology and Japanese craftsmanship. The new range combines the best of three worlds; UD’s heritage of Japanese craftsmanship and customer care, Volvo Group’s global technology and after-sales know-how, and cost efficiency through local know-how.

The Quester range was developed with a Japanese hands-on, field-oriented approach established on a customer and factory floor perspective. It performs impressively, provides good value and satisfies owners’ expectations in every aspect. Quester is built and refined based on insights from customers’ day-to-day needs and cutting-edge knowhow gained from UD Trucks’ experience in Middle East and the Volvo Group’s global footprint.
