For 80 years, UD Trucks has taken the lead with developments that our customers and their businesses needed most to support them to go “extra mile”. Today, the world needs more than just a truck. Today, the world needs a fuel-efficient truck that delivers sustainable and profitable transport. Today, the world needs an ultimately safe truck that is easy and comfortable to drive. Today, the world needs a truck that is highly reliable and productive, and comes with smart and modern aftermarket and uptime support.

We summarize what the world needs today as “smart logistics”. Our vision is to connect the latest technologies to support our customers so that they deliver safe, productive and efficient logistics every single day. At the Tokyo Motor Show, along with our latest technologies, you can witness our efforts to create a new future through the realization of the smart logistics.

Connectivity
“Connectivity” is a key concept which enables us to support smart logistics. Smart Fuel efficiency, Smart Drivability and Safety, and Smart Uptime and Productivity are tightly “connected” both conceptually and technologically. The UD Information Services (UDIS) provides integrated benefits for the entire truck operation. The intra-connectivity between the engine, the ESCOT-V AMT and all vehicle systems are enhanced by the connectivity between the truck and the call center, the dealerships, and the customers. There is a technical connection utilizing wireless, GPS, satellite and advanced telematics, as well as the human connection between fleet managers, drivers, and UD experts and mechanics. And UD Trucks and the Volvo Group are at the forefront of “connectivity”.

Going the Extra Mile for Smart Logistics
At UD Trucks, we take the present seriously, so that we can go the extra mile in the future. As a part of the Volvo Group, we have access to the world’s leading technological innovations.
