Safety
Safety is a key pillar in improving your business’s bottom line and retaining drivers. With the Quester’s extended ADR compliance, it’s well-regulated for the safe transportation of hazardous substances. Additional features like the UD Extra Engine Brake and hydraulic retarder make Quester a wise investment in operational safety.
Even a minor accident can disrupt operations and delay deliveries. Quester is designed with multiple safety systems to minimize these risks:
Full S-cam air brakes for durability in frequent use
- Auxiliary Brake: A reliable braking system ensures safe speeds and effective braking without fade.
- UD Extra Engine Brake (UD EEB): Optional with the 11-liter engine, this brake creates exhaust back pressure using an advanced valve system—delivering powerful deceleration without generating heat or extra wear.
- Hydraulic Retarder: Ideal for downhill driving, especially in loaded trucks. It controls speed without relying on the service brakes, reducing wear and preventing brake fade.
- Brake Max Mode with ESCOT: When a hydraulic retarder isn’t used, ESCOT’s Brake Max Mode automatically downshifts gears for maximum braking efficiency.
- ESCOT & Automatic (Allison): Automation eliminates manual gear shifting, allowing drivers to stay focused—improving safety.
- Additional Braking Features:
- Exhaust brake for GH8E and GH11E engines
- ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) for enhanced control on all surfaces
- High-Visibility Rearview Mirrors: Depending on regulations, choose between Japanese-type or ECE-certified mirrors.
- Front Underrun Protection System (FUPS): Prevents smaller vehicles from sliding under the truck during frontal collisions.
- Extended ADR Compliance: Electrical systems are encapsulated to protect against external thermal risks during hazardous cargo transport.
- ECE Certification: Meets European standards for cab strength (ECE R29), lighting, braking, and noise.
- Driver Training Programs: UD offers advanced driver training courses to promote safer, more efficient driving.
