Waste management today

The nature of waste management is changing all the time. Increased global and local demand for sustainability has put massive pressure on authorities to act quickly and effectively. Tough competition between private contractors has also led to greater pressure on productivity and tighter cost measures.

Whether residential or industrial, the efficient storage, transfer, processing and disposal of solid waste is big for business – and vital for reputation. That’s why a flexible, reliable and affordable transport solution is now worth more than ever.

Expert Story

Mikto

“Given the current market situation for our customers, Croner is perfectly suited to this environment.”

Maruyama Mikito, Senior Product Manager UD Trucks MEENA talks about what the Croner brings to waste management assignments.

Can you begin by identifying any current trends within waste management?

Our customers are under major cost pressure to get their contracts renewed for bigger areas with much tighter budgets. This forces them to look at any possible ways of reducing costs without compromising on the uptime and availability of their truck. Waste management is a very demanding and severe application, as some of the trucks operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The trucks are used for the cleaning of residential areas and hence cannot stop working.

What do you see being most important to provide for your customers?

We offer the simple features that are needed by our customers without making them pay for features that they do not need . In this way we can say that we excel on the essentials.
Longer service intervals are very important to our customers who are looking to maximize their uptime. With strong support from local partners, we offer driver and technician trainings, service contracts and other support.

Which UD trucks are most important and relevant to the waste management sector?
A variety of applications are used in our markets, such as compactors, vacuum and water tankers, bin washers, hook lifts, skip loaders, road sweepers and tipper trucks. Croner is UD's best waste management truck that offers durability, reliability, easy body installation, fuel efficiency and versatility.
