UD Quon 8x4 shines in record year

With the option of both 8.0-litre and 11.0-litre engines, a 12-speed automated transmission, or a 6-speed Allison automatic, latest sales results indicate that the eight-wheeler Quon is indeed capable of squaring up to the competition in a hotly contested market segment.

UD Trucks saw in the New Year with a record heavy-duty market share of 4.7%, however in the 8x4 segment that share accounts for 34%.

Since its Australian launch in 2020 , the Quon 8x4 has steadily won friends around the country not only in tipper and agitator roles but also in more diverse applications such as livestock transport, heavy tilt tray, waste and general freight to name a few.

“It’s clear that the UD Quon is striking a chord with Australian buyers that really do want the best combination of Ultimate Dependability, integrated safety and productivity,” says Lauren Downs, Vice President, UD Trucks Australia.

“Feedback regarding customer satisfaction has never been better across our entire product range,” continued Downs, “As 2022 continues to gather pace we are really excited by the prospect of welcoming new customers to the UD brand and family so they can experience the entire gamut of product, services and support on offer.”

“I’m very pleased to see UD Trucks continue to flourish and grow here in Australia and I have no doubt that this will continue throughout the coming year,” she concluded.
