Achieving success in long haul transportation depends on many factors. Ever-increasing global consumption means the demand for top quality goods transport is at an all-time high. This has led to tougher competition and tight margins putting more pressure on to cut costs. These factors are here to stay.
At the same time there is added pressure on long haul operators to attract and retain skilled drivers. Long haul means more time away from home. That’s why the need for smart, modern, comfortable, affordable and sustainable vehicles that run longer using less fuel has never been greater.
UD Trucks has a history of providing ultimate dependability. Reliable and robust trucks that won’t let you down. New Quon is here, with key new features such as ESCOT automated manual transmission delivering easier driving and even greater fuel efficiency, Quon offers the possibility to increase productivity, achieve higher payload and deliver lower overall operating costs.
Furthermore, we believe that greater cab comfort promotes success and in an industry beset by a shortage of skilled drivers, attracting new talent is key. Quon features a large cab, offering walk-through comfort and generous bunk space for long haul operations. It is a truck to be proud of and a place to call home.
Comfortable, fuel efficient and easy to drive. For the long run. Quon offers Japanese reliability,
made to go the extra mile to make your operations easier.

Giving drivers more comfort and room to live and work opens up your business to more profitable opportunities. Quon takes this to a new level.
A spacious, well-appointed cab makes for a more pleasant and comfortable working environment. The High Roof Cab doubles as a mobile home on long haul assignments, delivering flexibility for a more productive working day on the move.
At the same time, ESCOT, the latest evolution in 12-speed automated manual transmission, provides a sophisticated and comfortable driving experience that reduces driver stress and fatigue. In an average daily truck operation with a manual transmission, drivers need to shift 1,000 to 1,500 times per day. This constant routine requires focus that could be better devoted to the road. With ESCOT always selecting the optimal gear, drivers can improve efficiency and productivity, regardless of their skill level or experience.
