UD Trucks celebrates 90 Years with launch of all-new Condor range

UD Trucks Australia has revealed a new range of trucks.

The all-new UD Condor, available in 6×4 and 6×2 and 4×2 guises, promises to be a significant step forward in the medium duty sector.

With wheelbases ranging from 3910mm to 6000mm (leaf suspension) and 3190mm to 6950mm (air suspension), the Condor will neatly fit into most applications and features advanced safety features, a powerful yet efficient new driveline and a class leading cab layout.

Powered by a 300hp/1070Nm Euro 6 engine and backed by an Allison MD3060 automatic transmission (PK) and the Allison MD3560 (PD and PW), the new range should deliver a refined drive.

Given that medium duty trucks are a common occurrence in the urban environment, safety systems have been at the top of the priorities for the truck.

The revamped Condor range is equipped with the latest in safety features such as autonomous braking for vulnerable road users as well as other vehicles.

Other notable safety features included adaptive cruise control as standard equipment, adaptive high beam headlights, automatic windscreen wipers, traffic sign recognition and electronic vehicle stability control.

“This new range of trucks represents an exciting new chapter for UD Trucks Australia,” said Philippa Wood, Vice President, UD Trucks Australia.

”I’m thrilled to see the range of transport solutions we can now offer our customers in the country grow even further.

“Our founder conceived a truck based on efficiency, durability and productivity and even after the passing of 90 years the UD Condor will continue to carry on that tradition in Australian cities and on Australian roads.”
