Prime Quest Transport Solutions, Inc.  Officially Launches the New Euro 5  UD Truck Range

Drive for better with the new Euro 5 Quester and Croner trucks, with feature enhancements that boost profitability by doing more with less to overcome critical resource constraints. 

UD Trucks today unveiled a new Euro 5 range for the well-established Quester (heavy-duty) and Croner (medium-duty) trucks. The upgrade also boasts enhanced features that will improve uptime, enhance efficiency, and optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), all while lowering the vehicle’s environmental impact and retaining benefits from previous models.  

The new Euro 5 range will be introduced in fast-growing and emerging regions around the world that are moving to adopt more stringent international emission standards in a bid to cut pollution and improve air quality. In most markets, UD Trucks’ new Euro 5 range will be introduced ahead of these regulations to better prepare businesses for the switch to a cleaner fleet. 

This latest launch bolsters UD Trucks’ Better Life purpose – to be better for logistics, the planet, people, and business. Better Life drives the integration of sustainability across all of the company’s operations and processes to realize lower environmental impact, higher customer satisfaction, higher profitability, and a better place for people to work and live. 

Jacques Michel, UD Trucks International Sales, Senior Vice President said “In today’s world, sustainability is more important than ever. COVID-19 is also placing more emphasis on a more sustainable approach to driving a post-pandemic recovery. Modern and efficient logistics is vital to keep the world moving in these fast-evolving times, and our latest launch will ensure greater resilience for businesses while ensuring environmental impacts are minimized.” 

Ensuring businesses stay competitive in a rapidly changing world with Euro 5

Air pollution is one of the largest health threats facing the world today. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA) global energy review 2021, global energy carbon emissions are projected to rebound in the post-COVID era to grow by 4.8%. This would represent the largest single increase in over a decade. Emissions from transportation alone are at risk of increasing global emission levels by over 1.5%. 

Moving towards cleaner fleets is imperative. Euro 5 reduces NOx emissions by about 43% compared to Euro 4 and significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the vehicle through cleaner emissions.

As the first truck manufacturer to introduce Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology in 2004, UD Trucks’ new Euro 5 range features SCR technology to significantly boost environmental protection and fuel economy. With these benefits, SCR technology is proven to be more reliable when compared to other emission control technologies for reducing NOx emissions.

ThemesBenefits of SCR Technology 
Better efficiency and optimized TCOLower maintenance requirements reduce operational costsHigher power and torque through optimized combustion, without increasing the size of the engineIncreases fuel efficiency to better manage fuel costs; fuel is the largest operating expense, representing about 60% of total operating costs
Better uptimeLonger service intervals means less time required for maintenanceUptime is also boosted with a stable and expanded AdBlue supply network* – a safe-to-use diesel exhaust fluid used in vehicles with SCR technology to reduce harmful gases from being released into the atmosphere *AdBlue is available at all authorized UD Trucks dealerships. AdBlue may also be available at fuel stations, workshops and online 
Better for the environment Cleaner and more robust engine configuration with lower sensitivity to sulfur content in fuel, leading to longer engine life

Aside from featuring a Euro 5 system with SCR technology, the new range of Quester and Croner also features a new instrument cluster with real-time fuel coaching. This enhancement provides drivers with immediate and specific feedback on driving techniques that are more fuel efficient.

The official release of the New Euro 5 Truck Range in the Philippines ignites the trucking sector with its advanced features that just may be right for you.

Thankfully, the workers who kept the continuous flow of goods going across the country’s hundreds of islands kept the economy afloat during this arduous time. The production workers in factories who are manufacturing goods, the farmers and fishermen supplying people with food, the workers at stores and establishments that provide us with services, and the glue that connects every one of them: trucks and truck drivers. 

More Important Than They Seem

Truck drivers act as a lifeline between each sector of business, from manufacturers to the sellers and end-users. Without them, everything would slowly fall apart. Businesses would shut down, healthcare facilities wouldn’t be able to care for the needs of their patients, and people would go hungry because markets wouldn’t be stocked. Truck drivers do all these things while still putting their health on the line by going through long and arduous trips while in the middle of a global pandemic.

That said, truck drivers are pivotal in making sure that the economy runs properly. But without the trucks they operate, they would not be able to do anything. It is the trucks that do all the heavy lifting. With the New Euro 5 Truck Range, you gain access to new features for a variety of purposes so that you always have the right tool for the job. UD Trucks New Euro 5 Truck Range is considered to be one of the top-notch truck lines in the world today.
