UD Trucks prides itself in offering you the package that suits your needs. Croner uses fuel efficiently and without waste. Using less fuel every minute means going further and longer at lower cost.The new high torque GHE engine series, UD’s fuel coaching solutions and the optional automatic transmission gives every driver the tools to improve and maximize fuel efficiency.
Croner
FUEL EFFICIENCY
Better fuel efficiency for optimized operating hours
The 5-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine
The GH5E delivers fuel-efficient daily duty work for a wide range of applications.
- Efficient output and high torque allows for engine ‘downsizing’ without compromises.
- Power/torque: 180 hp/750 Nm, 210 hp/825 Nm, 240 hp/900 Nm* (Euro-3/*Euro-4).
- Modern and fully electronically controlled common rail engines operate with extreme precision.
- Computer-controlled injection, fuel quantity and atomization are finely controlled for varying situations, and for each cylinder, giving outstanding fuel consumption and low emissions.
The 8-liter 6-cylinder diesel engine
The GH8E offers excellent and powerful performance, ideal for construction work and for transporting large and heavy loads.
- Strong power combined with low operating costs through good fuel efficiency, reduced maintenance and long service intervals.
- Power/torque: 250 hp/950 Nm, 280 hp/1,050 Nm (Euro-3/Euro-4).
- Modern and fully electronically controlled common rail engines operate with extreme precision.
- Computer-controlled injection, fuel quantity and atomization are finely controlled for varying situations, and for each cylinder, giving outstanding fuel consumption and low emissions.
Automatic transmission
The optional automatic transmission knows the best gear to engage in any situation and allows for quicker yet efficient and optimal cruising speeds. That means more trips per day and a boost to overall productivity.
- Automatic transmissions available for all variants.
- Correct gear for any driving situation ensures optimum engine rpm for best fuel efficiency.
- Direct coupling “lock up” function for enhanced fuel efficiency and performance.
Aerodynamic cab design
The Croner cab is designed for increased fuel efficiency.
- A new, more aerodynamic cab design.
- Optional roof deflector (PKE model).
- Reduced coefficient of drag (CD) by five percent.
- Improved fuel efficiency at highway speeds.
UD Telematics Services
Our designed solutions are aimed at encouraging better driving behavior and protection of fuel assets.
- Fuel utilization reports to demonstrate how the truck and driver are performing.
- Fuel advisory services to improve driving behavior.
- Fuel loss alert to prevent theft or misuse of fuel.
- A cable-connected fuel follow-up tool is also available.
Fuel coaching
The best way to improve driving behavior is to get coaching in real time.
- All Croner models are equipped with a built-in fuel coach, an onboard solution clearly displayed at the center of the instrument cluster, giving instructions in real time.
- Fuel coaching improves driving behavior by prompting driver to use optimal revs and reduce unnecessary acceleration.
Cruise control
Cruise control reduces driver workload on longer journeys and helps to reduce fuel consumption by maintaining a constant speed.
