Advanced fuel-efficient driveline 

The Quon’s new features and advanced efficiency upgrades are designed to optimize your cost of ownership. Our most powerful, clean, and reliable GH11 engine delivers up to 2.5%* improvement in fuel efficiency. Shift gears more easily and quickly with the intuitively-designed ESCOT-VI automated manual transmission and use its GPS-based “Foretrack” gear prediction function. Drive better with more built-in improvements: a new differential axle carrier, an improved fuel-efficient driveline, an enhanced fuel sending unit, and our “Nenpi coach” that guides more efficient driving.

Efficient, clean, and powerful GH11 engine

UD Trucks’ most powerful, clean, and reliable GH11 engine features a new fuel injection system that utilizes both unit injector and common rail technology.

ESCOT-Ⅵ “Foretrack” road predictive function for enhanced fuel efficiency

When using cruise control at speeds of 60 km/h or higher, you can improve fuel efficiency on hilly roads by activating the ECO or ECO+ mode. The “Foretrack” function uses GPS technology to scan and remember road gradients. Upon revisiting the route, “Foretrack” automatically optimizes truck speed, gear, and auxiliary brakes to achieve highest fuel efficiency. With automatic optimal control, even inexperienced drivers can achieve a comfortable, safe, and eco-friendly operation of the Quon.

* Standard for GH11 engine and ESCOT-Ⅵ mounted truck
 

Advanced Functions for Enhanced Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficient driving begins as soon as the driver starts the new Quon. When the engine is running, ECO mode, ESCOT Roll, Acceleration Limiter, Soft Cruise Control, and other features automatically turn on.

UD Driver Development
UD Trucks have a dedicated driver development team who deliver driver development tools to dealers, fleets, and private customers. These lessons are designed to help drivers fine tune their driving style so as to ensure both safer and more economical progress on the road. Vehicles can be driven in a more fuel efficient manner, creating significant savings for the company as well as the environment.

Fuel efficient driving in ECO Mode

Functions that enhance fuel efficiency are engaged as soon as the engine is started.

ESCOT ROLL
ESCOT Roll comes on automatically if certain conditions* are satisfied while in ECO mode. If the truck goes too fast while the Traffic Eye Cruise Control is ON, ESCOT Roll cancels automatically. This function enhances fuel efficiency while coasting, by reducing fuel consumptiondue to re-acceleration.
*When the gear lever is in the D range, the exhaust brake switch is OFF, and coasting in 7th gear or higher on a flat road.

 

Fuel efficiency report for enhanced fuel efficiency

Our UD Information Service provides monthly fuel efficiency results and driving evaluations for each vehicle. The Nenpi Coach calculates fuel efficiency information directly from the truck and sends it to the UD Information Service — helping drivers better understand their driving habits so they can improve on fuel efficiency.
 

Idle Shut Down 

The feature automatically shuts down the engine after a few minutes of idling during parking, allowing for more fuel to be saved.

ACCELERATION LIMITER

The acceleration limiter is programmed to limit sudden acceleration above a certain level which enhances fuel efficiency and maintains stable driving. If acceleration is required, the driver can hit the ECO OFF switch on the steering wheel to remove the limitation on strong acceleration.

SOFT CRUISE CONTROL

Soft Cruise Control suppresses sudden acceleration and returns the truck to the set vehicle speed. This provides excellent fuel efficiency.

"NENPI COACH" FOR FUEL-EFFICIENCY ADVICE

The "Nenpi Coach" system analyses driving patterns for a specified time period, then displays optimal fuel efficiency advice on the multi-display monitor in an easy-to-read format. The driver can also check other detailed information and optimal driving techniques to improve fuel economy.

UD CONNECT

Part of the UD Information Service, the UD Connect is an asset that every operator should rely on to provide valuable vehicle operational data and location information, including fuel efficiency reporting.
