Recently, the folks at UD Trucks and their sole distributor partner Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd (TCIE) delivered the first ever unit of the all-new light-duty UD Kuzer to Jun Hong Trading Sdn Bhd. While it may only be a sole unit, the event is significant as it can been seen as a start for UD Trucks' return into the light duty truck segment here in Malaysia.
The delivery marks UD Trucks’ strategic approach to further establish its presence in the light-duty truck segment in Malaysia. It also brings forth another chapter for the UD Kuzer here in Malaysia. The journey of the all-new UD Kuzer here first started when it was previewed one year ago at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) after which, bookings were only opened to the market several months later.
The new UD Kuzer is UD's light-duty truck currently being offered in Malaysia. It complements the existing heavy-duty UD Quester and medium-duty UD Croner. With the launch of the Kuzer, it actually marks UD's return to light duty trucks here where the brand has not had such a truck here over the past few years.
The new UD Kuzer lght duty truck is designed for urban transport as it provides the ease of maneuverability with a strong chassis, spacious cabin and better driving comfort. Its 3,670cc engine offers 150hp and 490Nm of torque, delivering reliability, durability, power, comfort, and fuel efficiency via its 5 speed manual transmission powering the rear wheels in this 4x2 guise. This
truck also comes with real time Fuel Coach system to guide the driver on fuel savings optimization and UD Telematics as optional to track and improve truck and drivers’performance.
Steve Hedouin, Managing Director, UD Trucks Hub Malaysia & Oceania said, “The UD Kuzer is the light-duty truck that is developed to deliver extra and is ready for any tasks and challenges our customers have. This delivery has further cemented our brand presence and broaden our capability in providing quality trucks to suit our customers’ needs. UD Kuzer is indeed the perfect partner for smart logistics solution.”
Jaclyn Loy, Chief Operating Officer of TCIE also added, “UD Kuzer provides our customers who have diverse logistics needs. It is designed as the perfect partner for efficient day-to-day urban deliveries as it fulfills all the requirements customers seek, from easy to maneuver to safety and fuel economy. It is a very capable light-duty truck with superior efficiency thanks to an optimized driveline.”
“We are extremely delighted with this handover to our valued customer Jun Hong Trading Sdn Bhd and would like to thank them for their support as our loyal customer for over 15 years. We certainly look forward to more deliveries of UD Kuzer to our Malaysian customers in the near future.” added Jaclyn.
Established more than 20 years ago, Jun Hong Trading Sdn Bhd is a specialist supplier of general merchandise including products for household and garden, car care and accessories and various handy tools and lifestyle products. The company will be using its new UD Kuzer for deliveries to hypermarkets and departmental stores such as Mydin, Aeon/Aeon Big, Giant and TF Value Mart.
At the official handover ceremony, Chong Fook Loy, Executive Director of Jun Hong Trading Sdn Bhd said, “We are honored to be the first in Malaysia to receive the new UD Kuzer. Our decision to buy it was spurred by our good experience with previous UD legacy models (those under the Nissan Diesel name too) and the extensive and responsive aftermarket service coverage. This is important because our trucks deliver goods to all over Peninsula Malaysia."
He also stated at the event that their drivers’ feedback on the Kuzer have been positive especially its performance and spacious cabin. They are considering to buy more units in the future.
