While the South African truck market declined during 2017, UD Trucks gained some ground in the heavy commercial vehicle segment with the launch of a new range in the middle of the year. The new Croner range, launched in June 2017, helped the manufacturer claim the second position in this portion of the market with a 19.53% share.

The manufacturer says growth in the South African economy is dependent on a successful transport industry which is why it is passionate about solving the challenges customers are facing in the local transport industry.
