UD Truck Distributors NZ Ltd (UD Trucks) announces that a new Condor range of medium duty trucks will be available in New Zealand from early 2026, with the order book open from Q3 2025.
The new Condor range is a major step forward in the medium duty sector for UD featuring advanced safety features, a powerful yet efficient new drive line and a class leading cab layout. In the year of UD’s 90th anniversary, this new range stays true to company’s original vision – to build trucks that the world needs today.
Colin Muir, General Manager for UD Trucks confirms, “The Condor range is an exciting step forward for New Zealand and available to order from Q3 2025. The previous incarnation of Condor was very popular with New Zealand truck owners, and we are sure this one will be too.”
The new eight-model Euro 6 Condor range has 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 configurations with 4660mm to 6000mm (leaf suspension) and 6000mm to 6950mm (air suspension). Units will feature a 300hp power-plant, backed by Allison automatic transmissions.
Colin adds, “Built in Japan, these trucks will be reliable and packed with new features and an incredible suite of class leading safety systems that match the highly regarded Quon range. Along with the new driveline and quality cab design and features, the new range is not only powerful and efficient, but it also keeps the UD brand promise of going the extra mile”.
The cab includes an ISRI seat with air suspension and heating, and SRS airbags for both driver and passenger. New safety systems include full speed adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, electronic vehicle stability control, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, forward vehicle start notification, advanced emergency braking, distance warning, adaptive driving beam, auto lights, and rain sensing wipers.
“To support our new range, Condor customers will have the opportunity to include UD Trust fixed price service plans,” says Colin Muir. “This means the Condor will offer the ultimate in mechanical peace of mind backed by our nationwide support network”.
The Croner range is being phased out for New Zealand and will no longer be available to order from the end of June 2025.
