Volvo's UD Trucks Has New Model Condor Medium Duty Truck

Sweden--July 11, 2011:

The Volvo Group’s (STO:VOLVA) (STO:VOLVB) subsidiary UD Trucks is launching a new Condor MK and Condor LK. These Condor trucks have undergone a full model change under the development concept of UD Advantage and UD Solution and will go on sale in Japan 12 July.

The new Condor MK (4-ton class payload) and Condor LK (5-6 ton class payload) models adopt a new cab design that conveys the impression of a unified family identity with the Quon heavy-duty truck series. They also feature various advanced technologies accumulated on the company’s heavy-duty trucks to deliver outstanding fuel economy, improved environmental and aerodynamic performance and safety.

The new Condor models are powered by engines fitted with a newly developed common rail system that increases the maximum fuel injection pressure for achieving high levels of power and torque in a small displacement volume.
