UD launches 8-litre Quon
Following the launch of the New Quon in 2017, UD Trucks Australia is announcing a new 8-litre variant to be shown at the 2019 Brisbane Truck ShowThe new addition to the Quon range will sit beside the 11-litre Quon in the UD line-up.
The 8-litre Quon will come in two models, the CD 25 360 and the CW 25 360, with the former being the showcase piece on UD’s stand at the Brisbane Truck Show in May.
The new truck features a GH 8 engine, boasting a maximum output of 263kW at 2200rpm, with a maximum torque of 1428Nm at 1200 to 1600 rpm.
The 8-litre engine means that 300 kilograms has been stripped from the original 11-litre models, allowing for greater load efficiency.
UD says the Quon has been built to excel in the tough Australian conditions and delivers improved uptime thanks to features such as disc brakes, enhanced service intervals and support from Volvo Group’s extensive service network.
It also offers a host of advanced safety features including Traffic Eye Brake, UD Stability Control, and lane departure warning.
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.
UD Trucks Australia Vice President of Sales, Mark Strambi, says the new truck is a valuable addition to the UD range.
“The 8-litre version is an exciting addition to the Quon range that offers the same levels of drivability and safety as the 11-litre version,” he said.
“It really is a fantastic truck. Slightly smaller than the 11-litre models, it still possesses a sizeable payload, while offering operators extra flexibility through a greater load efficiency,” Mr Strambi added.
