UD Trucks Southern African has launched its new fleet of trucks, the Croner, which features 13 variants and 21 customisable configurations for the transport, mining and construction industry.
“Croner is a highly versatile truck thanks to the design of the cab and chassis. This makes it an ideal truck for operators to easily manoeuvre through challenging routes or spaces – allowing it to go to every corner – covering more ground, and making every moment count,” said Swanepoel.
Its ease of operation is due to the automatic transmission available for all the models for improved ease of use, safety and less driver workload. It quickly and automatically chooses the right gear position. “All our models are equipped with a built-in fuel coach, an onboard solution clearly displayed at the centre of the instrument cluster, giving instructions in real time,” added Toshi Odawara, vice president of product management, UD Trucks. “It’s one of UD Trucks’ most fuel-efficient trucks ever, utilising the fuel needed efficiently without waste.” The range will be assembled at the company’s plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria, and will be introduced to other markets in the region during the next year.
