UD Trucks, a part of the Volvo Group, has unveiled a new range of trucks in Saudi Arabia in association with Rolaco Trading and Contracting Holding, the distributor of UD Trucks in Saudi Arabia.

The trucks have been specifically built for Middle East customers, the company said.

The all-new Quester is a multi-purpose truck for a wide variety of applications, including ‎off and on-road use, construction, distribution and long-haul transportation, said a statement from the company.

The launch of the new range ‎marks the company’s largest step to date, in its history of more than 40 years in the kingdom, which aims to challenge the truck market ‎in the Middle East, it said. ‎

After years of extensive quality control tests conducted by UD Trucks and the Volvo Group, the Quester range was developed with a Japanese hands-on approach established on a customer perspective. It performs impressively, provides great value and satisfies owners’ expectations in every aspect. The vehicle is built and refined based on insights from customers’ day-to-day needs and cutting-edge knowhow gained from the company’s experience in Middle East and the Volvo Group’s global footprint, it added.

Lars-Erik Forsbergh, president of UD Trucks Middle East, said: “We are very excited about the arrival of the Quester range in Saudi Arabia. With the new Quester, we have now built on our tradition of reliability and durability, to launch our new customer promise, ‘going the extra mile’.”

“I am confident that Quester will be a big game changer for UD Trucks. More than 400 full-time experts from different nationalities, with extensive knowledge and ‎experience, have been involved in designing, developing and validating ‎Quester and its associated services,” he said.

“The team has spent 1,500,000 engineering hours and ‎‎65,000 test hours to build the ultimate trucking machine,” he added.

Sami Al Halabi, chief operating officer of Rolaco Trading and Contracting Holding, said: “We are once again providing a customer adapted solution to our customers in the heavy duty segment with a high quality UD Truck.”

“We are looking forward to exceed our customer’s expectation with its performance and the related services Rolaco will provide,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
