Events

A global competition held bi-annually 
to develop and demonstrate the service excellence of the frontline people in UD dealerships and workshops around the world. 

UD Gemba Challenge

The UD Gemba Challenge was launched in 2014. The purpose was to create a competition that allowed our service market teams to improve and demonstrate their skills with the best in the UD World. The UD Gemba Challenge gets its name from Gemba Spirit, which is a core value at UD Trucks. It’s this spirit that fills our service market teams with passion and drives them to go the extra mile for our customers every single day. 

The UD Gemba Challenge is the perfect stage to showcase one’s competence and talent among UD colleagues. As teamwork is such an important part of success in the workshop, the UD Gemba Challenge is a team competition, requiring the expert knowledge of Customer Service Representatives, Parts Operatives & Technicians. The first two rounds of the competition are a mixture of technical, commercial and brand related questions. The best teams are then invited to the global final in November 2024, which will be held in Ageo in Japan, the headquarters of UD Trucks.

The goal of the UD Gemba Challenge

- To act as a motivational tool driving a global UD culture of loyalty, brand awareness and competence development 

- To showcase the skills of UD service market teams    

- To ultimately deliver Better Life in the form of improved knowledge and skills of UD colleagues, which will lead to an enhanced service experience for customers
