Need for greater payload

Maximizing your resources equates to ensuring productivity and efficiency on every transport assignment. Every truck in your fleet should operate at its capacity. New Quester's optimized tare weight and driveline have significantly reduced the truck’s weight, allowing you to transport more on every trip.
