With a multitude of combinations of wheelbases, engines and even transmissions, UD have launched their latest addition – the all-new Quon 8x4. Designed to be the truck of choice for construction, waste management, distribution and agitators, just to mention a few, the all-new Quon CG 8x4 sets the benchmark as the Japanese truck for safety, comfort and productivity.
Take a look at some of the key features the South Central Truck & Bus UD Truck specialists have put together on the new 8x4 Quon.
Engine and transmission choices
The Quon 8x4 is now available with a choice of two engines and three outputs. The first is the GH8F which is an 8-litre engine. This is identical to the engine in the Quon 8-Litre 6x2, with an output of 360hp (263kW) and 1428Nm. The 11-Litre Quon CG 8x4 is available in two horsepower variants, 390hp with 1750Nm and 420hp with 1900Nm maximum torque.
Customers now also have the flexibility in the transmissions for the 8-Litre Quon CG 8x4 with the choice of either an Allison 3200 Series automatic or an Escot-VI automated manual. Whereby the 11-Litre Quon is available only with the Escot-VI transmission for its unparalleled operability.
Wheelbase choices
Across the 8x4 range, the Quon provides a variety of wheelbases. The 8-Litre Quon CG 30 360 is available in three wheelbases - 4500mm, 5200mm and 5700mm. The 11-Litre Quon CG 32 390 and Quon CG 32 420 is offered in the 5200mm and 5700mm wheelbases.
Suspension
The Quon 8x4 now has the option of leaf or air-bag suspension on the rear, with parabolic spring on the load-sharing twin-steer front with a 13-tonne capacity. The Quon CG 32 420 has similar suspension and wheelbase options as the CG Model in the 390 11-Litre.
Big on truck safety
The current UD Quon range is big on safety and big on economy which means the all-new Quon 8x4 includes an advanced range of safety features. The 8-Litre Quon CG 8x4 and 11-Litre Quon CG 8x4 offers advanced safety systems including Electronic Stability Control, Traffic Eye Braking, Radar Cruise Control, Driver Alert and Lane Departure Warning systems.
