Launched In 2013, Quester, developed for global growth markets, featured built-in fuel efficiency and a specifically developed powertrain at its heart. This ensured that the heavy-duty truck’s 8-literand 11-liter engines operate within their peak efficiency power band at all times while giving customers the flexibility to select the powertrain combination that best suits their needs. Other components, including the 6-, 9- and 12-speed gearbox and added oil-cooler, are calculated to cut fuel costs without compromising on performance and durability.
The 2017 All New Quon is moved by a more fuel-efficient, greener, and torque version of the GH11 engine, which can be mated to the new electronically controlled ESCOT-VI gearbox. Adding to the qualities of the renowned ESCOT-V this new gearbox adds other fuel-saving functions, such as Foretrack. This system uses GPS to recognize a road already driven, and to predict what’s coming; Foretrack always choose the most adapted gear ratio according to the coming incline, decline or corner in cruise control driving mode.
The new Croner, fitted with the remarkable new GH5E and GH8E engines, also focuses on fuel saving. Exploiting the benefits of downsizing, the 4-cylinder 5-liter and 6-cylinder 8-liter engines provide the best fuel efficiency /payload ratio in the category. Fuel efficiency has definitely become a core quality of UD trucks, besides their legendary dependability.
