Strong endurance has been a UD Trucks trademark since the start of our foundation, which is why our reliability and durability testing programs are so rigorous. Croner has excelled in all of them.
Durability testing was conducted over an equivalent of 3 million kilometres, putting the Croner to the test in the toughest weather conditions and terrains around the world. In addition, 1.4 million kilometres of field tests in actual customer operations were carried out across 6 countries and 3 continents over a period of 18 months.
“This truck, and UD trucks in general, handle the extreme conditions here very well. The weather is extremely hot, yet we never had any issue with the engine over-heating. During the testing, this truck proved very helpful for our business. Croner consumes less fuel and also emits less harmful emissions. Our driver is very happy with the performance of the A/C. Croner is safe, reliable, and always offers a smooth drive – we are definitely planning on buying Croner or similar UD models in the future.”
