Every day, our solutions ensure that people have food on the table, that children receive their books to study & elderly get the needed medical support.

Looking ahead, demand for transport will keep growing. This is triggered by global movements such as the increase of the world population, urbanization, globalization, the rise of e-commerce and digitalization. This means that the transport industry has a bright future and will offer you great development opportunities. With major technological changes ahead, there has never been a more exciting time to work in the transport industry.

It also means that when working in the transport industry, you have the power to shape the society you live in. Indeed it is our job to offer transport solutions that are safe, efficient and sustainable and make logistics smarter.

We are part of the largest commercial vehicle alliance which gives our colleagues access to the best minds, technology & platform to lead change. If you want to make a real difference to society; the transportation business and UD Trucks is where you want to be – now and in the coming years.

Truck drivers deliver the items we take for granted everyday, including food and medical supplies. They are the unsung heroes on the frontlines. As the world practices self-isolation to prevent the spread of COVID-19, take a moment to recognize the solitary nature of the truck driver’s daily life. Traveling long distances most often alone, to deliver the good we depend on.

UD Trucks aims to practice CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) which creates shared value for both stakeholders and the company by solving issues existing in the logistics industry and society.
