For the first time Lazza’s Logistics have partnered with UD Trucks making the switch to the brand with an investment in 10 of the new 8x4 Quons.
Queensland based sub-contractor Lazza’s Logistics has over 20 years’ experience in providing regional transport solutions to companies in the agitator industry. Due to their expertise operators such as Holcim and HY TEC have partnered with them for decades.
Safety along with productivity are the cornerstones of owners Larry and Carla White’s business.
The Quon CG30360PAA 8x4 is the first UD Truck that the company has purchased, and having committed to 10 new trucks, shows how much they believe in the product.
Commenting on the purchase, Vice President of UD Trucks Sales Lauren Downs said: “We are thrilled to welcome Larry and Carla to the UD family, and believe our brand values around safety, ultimate dependability and going the extra mile for supporting our customers, are an excellent strategic fit for their business.”
UD Trucks are renowned for their strong Japanese heritage and craftsmanship, Volvo Group’s technology, and the local Australian dealer network which means vehicle downtime is kept to a minimum.
“With our trucks hauling cement loads and making numerous drop-offs between the Gold Coast and Brisbane we need safe, reliable and efficient vehicles," said Larry.
Carla continued: “The Quon is packed with industry-leading safety features like disc brakes, Traffic Eye braking, lane departure warning system and electronic stability control to ensure the safety of the driver and other road users.
“Our priority is ensuring our drivers return safe to their families at the end of the day,” she added.
As well as safety, UD Trucks values environmental care, and the 8-litre Quon delivers a number of features which work together to maximise fuel savings, including ECO mode, adaptive cruise control, and ESCOT Roll.
Scott White explains: “At the end of the day we are running a business and the fuel efficiency of the Quon was a big selling point which will positively impact our bottom line.”

During the hand over the proud new owners were “blown away by how smooth it is to drive and how easy it is to manoeuvre.”
Lazza’s Logistics has covered their trucks under the service agreement, receiving all their maintenance and servicing through the Volvo Group Australia dealer network. The company says it is committed to continually driving lower total cost of ownership across the entire UD Trucks range.
“UD and its people really make the extra effort to support our business, making UD the ultimate business partner for Lazza’s Logistics” stated Larry.
