Quester is UD Trucks’s most cost-efficient truck ever. It’s wide driveline options, the ability to optimize the powertrain with respect to power output, transmissions and rear axle ratios, minimized aerodynamic drag that decreases the wind resistance, long oil change intervals and fuel coaching system help in cutting fuel costs and maximizing uptime, resulting in quick and dependable payback.
Quester has wide range of different product types such as 4X2T, 6X2T, 6X4T for long haul, 6X4R long chassis for regional distribution, 6X4 and 8X4 tippers for heavy duty construction and mining applications. The 6X2T and 6X2R configurations are available with a bogie lifting axle which is used to lift the axle in the unladen condition. The lifting function on the third axle gives the truck better traction when activated. It also gives better fuel consumption, extended tyre life and a smaller turning radius. It can be supplied with bogie press which is used when higher traction is required.
