Advantages of UD Trucks Quester
A truck can be an asset as well as an investment. Therefore, when choosing a truck as the company's operational vehicle, it cannot be arbitrary. In addition to having high durability, trucks must also be reliable in various situations and road conditions.
If that is what you are looking for as an entrepreneur who needs a truck as a company operational vehicle, it seems necessary to consider the advantages of the Quester truck from Astra UD Trucks.
Quester itself has qualified features and specifications, in addition to high durability, the Quester engine is accompanied by fuel efficiency.
In detail, here are the advantages of the Quester from Astra UD Trucks.
Fuel efficiency
UD Quester trucks are more fuel efficient. The Quester truck is equipped with two engine variants, namely the 8-liter and 11-liter engines. Both have built-in fuel efficiency that optimizes the powertrain while keeping in mind power output, transmission and rear axle ratios. The low fuel consumption is due to the wide rev range with high thermal efficiency.
In addition, Quester's advantages in fuel efficiency are also supported by the aerodynamic shape of the Quester's cabin so as to reduce wind resistance.
Quester has the option of installing wind deflectors on the roof and on the sides. By reducing wind resistance, fuel consumption becomes better.
The driver is also reminded to always maintain fuel efficiency with a variety of information conveyed through the 4.5-inch Multi Information Display (MID) screen on the instrument panel.
This MID screen displays real time fuel usage, when the driver must change gears, brakes, and accelerates for the maximum time within the optimal fuel efficiency rev range, which is called the sweet spot.
Cozy cabin
The advantages of Quester also pay attention to the comfort and safety of the driver in the cabin during the trip. The Quester cab is designed to reduce driver fatigue on long-distance trips with a variety of features.
In addition to the MID screen which is easy to read and provides all information related to the truck being driven, the Quester dashboard is made driver oriented so that all buttons and storage areas are easily accessible by the driver without having to lose concentration while driving.
Quester seats or seats, already equipped with air or mechanical suspension. The seat is ergonomically designed with comfortable cushion and back adjustments so as to reduce fatigue during travel. For resting, there is an extra wide and extra long sleeping seat to ensure driver comfort.
Driver comfort is also supported by air conditioning so that the driver is more comfortable and minimizes the pollution that is inhaled during the trip.
Meanwhile, for the safety of truck drivers, the Quester's cabin has gone through a cabin crash test which will minimize the risk of injury if something unexpected happens during the trip.
Strong and flexible frame
A heavy-duty internal frame with flexibility and quality is one of the main characteristics of the Quester.
The entire Quester framework is subject to extensive testing according to global standards. This ensures high reliability and a long vehicle life.
The chassis is made of strong and durable rolling form steel and has a thickness of 13 millimeters.
Rolling steel is a torsional flexible frame with uniform rigidity, both for vertical stresses and torsion during rolling and throwing processes at the same time.
This relieves stress from uneven road surfaces, imposed by a high center of gravity and uneven load distribution, making the Quester frame suitable for a variety of terrains.
To make it even more durable, all Quester parts have also been purchased with anti-rust protection with three coats of paint all hardened in the oven.
Service and spare parts
Another advantage of Quester is the availability of service and spare parts. Astra UD Trucks provides truck maintenance services according to distance or travel time with 2 packages, namely UD Trust and UD Ultimate according to business scale.
Then there is also the UD Telematics service which is able to assist in controlling the entire truck fleet while operating.

The truck is now also equipped with a multi information display (MID) screen on the instrument panel. As the name implies, the MID itself is a screen that displays various information about the vehicle such as mileage, remaining fuel in the tank, reminders for service or oil changes, and so on.
This MID is also one of Quester's unique features. How not, the information displayed by the 4.5-inch screen which is the largest in its class is very complete in showing various information.
With its large size, of course, it makes it easier for the driver to monitor the truck he is driving while on the move.
So what's on the MID screen that is a unique feature of Quester?
- Time and date.
- Odometer: displays the total mileage of the truck.
- Trip meter: displays the total distance traveled by the truck in a certain period.
- Condition of wind pressure: shows the capacity of wind pressure in the air tank.
- Fault diagnosis: analysis of damage to trucks via error codes.
- Measurement menu: contains the outside temperature, coolant temperature, engine working hours, to pressure and oil level.
- Fuel coaching: serves to provide information and guidance to obtain optimal fuel efficiency for the driver.
- Vehicle message: provides information about engine failure.
- Service reminder: provides truck service schedule information.
- Parameters menu: contains parameter settings to set other truck features.

This full air brake braking system has the advantage that if there is a leak in the system, the brakes will automatically lock to reduce the risk of the truck brake failing.
Because of the advantages of the full air brake, and the level of safety, it is the reason UD Trucks applies this type of brake in all its units, not only Quester but also Kuzer.
