Gerimis Baiduri Sdn Bhd (Gerimis Baiduri), a Malaysian logistics provider for the frozen and chill industry, has taken delivery of five units of UD Trucks’New Kuzer light-duty model from LK Utara Sdn Bhd (LK Utara), a dealer of Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd (TCIE), the authorized and sole distributor for UD Trucks in Malaysia. The new trucks will be used to enhance the productivity of the company's daily transportation activities.
A vehicle handover ceremony was held recently at Gerimis Baiduri’s headquarters in Puchong, Selangor. The handing over ceremony was attended by Dato Liew Tiam Seng, Managing Director of Gerimis Baiduri, Loh Thim Choy, Chief Operating Officer of TCIE and Chong Boon Fuei, Managing Director of LK Utara,
UD Trucks’ New Kuzer ramge was launched just several months ago in Malaysia. The truck was developed to offer greater productivity for companies and logistics operators through six key enhancements which are payload, performance, chassis, emission, durability and safety. Its performance and improved emission standard are delivered by a 5.2 liter Euro 4 engine with advanced fuel injection system and six-speed overdrive gear box.
Dato Liew Tiam Seng, Managing Director of Gerimis Baiduri has said, “Since our establishment 25 years ago, Gerimis Baiduri has grown to become one of Malaysia’s important logistics providers specializing in frozen and refrigerated trucks, offering customized solutions to all our clients. We emphasized on developing our people, instilling passion in them and creating progress together to deliver exceptional transportation services, with a focus on environmental sustainability and exceeding customer expectations.”
“Gerimis Baiduri’s vision is to raise industry standards and become the leader in refrigerated trucking and logistics through efficiency, reliability and innovation. Our existing UD Trucks fleet has been helping us grow our business and gained customers’ trust in the journey towards achieving this vision. Thus, we decided to expand our UD fleet with New Kuzer for its high payload, engine performance with cleaner emission and overall proven reliability. Furthermore, the good aftersales support and consultation we have been receiving from LK Utara and TCIE throughout the years have made our decision to stay with them an easy one.” he added.
Gerimis Baiduri has been a customer of UD Trucks since 2008 and now owns more than 100 units of its medium and light-duty commercial vehicles. “Dato Liew also stated that he belives that this addition to the fleet is a good investment and the company also looks forward for the New Kuzer to deliver better fuel savings and increase the productivity of our logistics operations through greater uptime. Being the latest generation in a long line of light duty trucks by UD Trucks has meant continuous progress into making each new truck better than previously and this is no different with the latest Kuzer.
The New Kuzer is available in 7.5 ton and 8.5 ton Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), with the 7.5 ton variant offering a payload of 4,880kg which is over 600kg more than its predecessor model. With higher payload and robustness to carry more weight per trip, customers will be able to maximize deliveries and enhance productivity. In the long run, this efficiency can certainly help companies lower their operational costs.
The safety features of New Kuzer include SRS Airbag, Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Cab Tilt warning and reverse alarm. The cabin is certified by the ECE R29, a United Nations regulation on the safety and strength of commercial vehicle cabins for occupant protection. Meanwhile, the truck’s LED head lamps ensure better visibility for the driver, thus further contributing to safety.
Loh Thim Choy, Chief Operating Officer of TCIE said, “New Kuzer was developed as part of UD Trucks’ commitment towards smart logistics and in meeting the growing need for reliable trucks. It is an efficient model especially for urban deliveries, helping our customers be nimble players in their fields. The advanced safety features and engine emission standards contribute to better durability, performance and cleaner environment, all of which Gerimis Baiduri and other customers will surely stand to gain from.”
The Kuzer,sold here in Malaysia officially by TCIE gets the UD Extra Mile Services package which include benefits such as genuine parts, fixed-price maintenance plans with priority scheduling, 24/7 Res-Q roadside assistance and quality service for sustained uptime.
Customers of UD Trucks’ New Kuzer are also covered with a competitive warranty coverage of five years or 300,000km, whichever comes first.
