This article from Xe Tai My Dinh experts will delve into the detailed evaluation of the outstanding advantages of this Japanese truck model, helping you gain a comprehensive view and make informed investment decisions.
Outstanding Advantages of the UD Quester CDE 280
The UD Quester CDE 280 is not just an ordinary truck, but also a symbol of the perfect combination of Japanese technology and meticulous assembly process in Thailand. This gives the truck remarkable competitive advantages:
1. Japanese Origin, Assembled in Thailand – Superior Quality
The Japanese origin is a key factor in the quality of the UD Quester CDE 280. Strict Japanese production technology and technical standards are thoroughly applied in the assembly process in Thailand, a country with a leading automotive industry in Southeast Asia. This combination ensures that each truck leaving the factory meets consistent quality and high reliability, providing absolute peace of mind for users.
2. Powerful Engine, Fuel Efficient – Optimized Operating Performance
The UD Quester CDE 280 is equipped with a powerful GH8E engine with a cylinder capacity of nearly 7.7 liters, producing 280 horsepower. A special feature is the maximum torque of up to 1050 N.m, which is significantly higher than many competitors in the same segment. High torque helps the truck operate powerfully, especially when carrying heavy loads, climbing slopes, or moving on complex terrain.

Despite having a powerful engine, the UD Quester CDE 280 still ensures impressive fuel economy. Fuel consumption is only about 20 liters/100km thanks to the reasonable transmission ratio and the engine achieving maximum torque at low engine speeds. This helps businesses significantly reduce operating costs and increase profits.
3. Superior Safety – Peace of Mind on Every Journey
Safety is always a top priority on Japanese trucks. The UD Quester CDE 280 is no exception, as it is equipped with a solid cabin, a sturdy chassis with cross braces for better balance, and a thick 2-layer chassis. The 13-ton axle load and the air brake system with ABS ensure safe and effective braking in all situations, especially during emergency braking.

This is a great opportunity for businesses to own a high-quality Japanese truck with reasonable investment costs.
