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.

The Truck was first reveled back in May, 2016 in Jeddah and on December, 2016 the company introduced the truck to Riyadh customers when more than 250 guests attended.

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’. I am confident that Quester will be a big game changer for UD Trucks. More than 400 full-time experts from different nationalities, with extensive knowledge and ‎experience, have been involved in designing, developing and validating ‎Quester and its associated services”. The team has spent 1,500,000 engineering hours and ‎‎65,000 test hours to build the ultimate trucking machine’’.
