Quester is built and refined based on insights from customers’ day-to-day needs and cutting-edge knowhow gained from UD Trucks’ experience in Middle East and the Volvo Group’s global footprint.

With the new Quester, we have now built on our tradition of reliability and durability, to launch our new customer promise, ‘going the extra mile’.
