November 21, 2024
A game changer for general cargo and construction transport in New Zealand.
UD Truck Distributors (NZ) Ltd (UD Trucks) has announced the launch of its newest addition to the Quon range, a new longer 7085mm wheelbase model designed for up to 18 pallets, offering the longest wheelbase available in New Zealand across its class delivering increase productivity.
Colin Muir, general manager of UD Trucks explains, “The new longer wheelbase option is a real game changer for the Japanese truck market in New Zealand. Currently, there is not another option available at this factory standard length that does not require modifications.”
He adds, “This 7085mm wheelbase option offers customers across the general cargo and construction markets a lower entry cost enabling a reduction in the total cost of ownership. As the longer wheelbase is able to be supplied directly from factory, there are no modifications required to the chassis for applications that require a longer chassis, and it can get on the road and working faster with longer or larger payloads.
This huge advantage for customers that are carrying general freight where cost per km is critical to profitability or where a longer or larger load capacity is required for a truck crane application”.
The Quon CG 32 430 and CG32 460 11-Litre GH11 in the current range offers the option for the longer wheelbase. With a variety of configurations available to suit operations the initial investment and payback period will be significantly reduced.
Muir concludes. “Not only do you get the operational flexibility and improved cost management associated with the longer wheelbase, the advanced safety features, performance, and exceptional driver experience that are standard with the Euro 6 equivalent Quon, this new option takes this truck to the top of its game for New Zealand.”
Orders are now being taken for the new longer wheelbase, with the new units expected to arrive from February 2025.
