On August 26, 2013 a global launching of “Quester” a new heavy duty truck range from UD Trucks that is specially developed for Asia and other growth markets will be help in Bangkok. Please mark the date everyone!
Wondering why they named it Quester?
“Why do we call it Quester? Because this reflects our six year quest to deliver a range of trucks and services, designed with you, and for you in growth markets”, says Loic Mellinand, Senior Vice President of UD Global Brand. “With Quester we wanted to build a truck with the same mind-set and endurance as a long-distance runner – efficient, determined and tough.”
Quester will have a wide range of applications, from long-haulage and distribution to construction and mining, allowing it to meet the varying needs of growth markets. The ambition is to set a brand-new standard that combines the best of three worlds; UD’s heritage of Japanese craftsmanship and customer care, Volvo Group’s global technology, and cost efficiency through local manufacturing and sourcing.

Quester will be launched in major Asian markets later in 2013. A production system for complete built-up Quester trucks is under development in Thailand, India and China. “UD Trucks will be the first Japanese brand to offer a wide range of variants developed to meet the different needs of Asia and other growth markets with one common platform at affordable prices,” says Taizo Matsuo, Vice President of UD Trucks Product Management.
UD Trucks will also provide extensive customer service and support packages with the launch of Quester. Strategically-located authorized and owned UD Trucks dealerships and importer networks are preparing for an offer based on minimal operational costs, maximum fuel efficiency and uptime.
