New Kuzer

New "Kuzer"

UD Trucks Corporation (headquartered in Ageo, Saitama, Japan; President and CEO: Koichi Ito; hereinafter “UD Trucks”) has launched the new light-duty Kuzer truck for international markets, in Malaysia in June.

The new Kuzer for Malaysia is a light-duty truck with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 7.5 or 8.5 tons. The model addresses customer needs for compact vehicles by reducing chassis weight and enhancing payload capacity.
The new Kuzer adopts a cleaner engine which delivers excellent environmental performance and fuel economy.

On the safety front, the model boasts enhanced advanced features by newly standardizing items such as ABS*1+EBD*2, ASR*3, SRS airbags, and LED headlamps. In addition to theft prevention functions such as a standardized immobilizer, driver convenience is amplified with enhancements like central locking with remote keyless entry and expanded in-cabin storage.
To maintain continuity for existing Kuzer customers, the new model inherits a consistent UD Trucks design, helping ensure a seamless transition.
