General cargo today

General cargo distribution is being reshaped by faster delivery expectations and more complex urban operations. The growth of e-commerce is increasing the number of deliveries in already crowded cities, making the “last metres” of delivery a critical challenge for fleets. To stay competitive, operators need transport solutions that can flex across load types—from temperature-sensitive goods to appliances and mixed cargo—while supporting safe, efficient stop-and-go operations.

Why UD Trucks for general cargo?

UD Trucks offers a range of vehicles and an aftersales ecosystem built around uptime. Depending on market availability, heavy-duty models such as Quon and Quester can be specified for demanding duty cycles, while medium-duty Croner and light-duty Kuzer support distribution operations where maneuverability, productivity and service support matter most. UD’s service network and solutions—including service agreements, genuine parts and roadside support, and connected services where available—help reduce unplanned downtime and keep deliveries moving.

Going the distance

Successful distribution means meeting tough requirements every day—tight schedules, frequent stops, and rising pressure on cost per delivery. Getting the best out of every truck is key, and that starts with choosing the right configuration for your routes and payload needs, supported by planned service and fast assistance when the unexpected happens. In a market also facing a long-term driver shortage, reducing driver workload and supporting consistent driving performance can be a real operational advantage.

Quon

Quon embodies innovation in five essential areas to meet today's diverse business needs. Innovation that puts people first. It's the next-generation truck for the age of smart logistics.

Quester

Smart, comfortable and more fuel efficient than ever. New Quester is an excellent fit for distribution. ESCOT automated manual transmission means all drivers save fuel, while optimized tare weight means more can be carried. The result is a more productive working day on the move.

Croner

The Croner has a wide range of choices to keep every distribution business on schedule. Multi-purpose models are available for city, inter-city and long-haul distribution. Air suspension and automatic transmission combine to offer extremely safe and stable transportation of sensitive goods.

Kuzer

A light medium duty truck for easy urban driving, the young member of the UD family rolls out, flexibility, productivity, uptime and fuel efficiency, and places it firmly where you and your business need it.

Delivering the perfect aftersales partnership

Distribution needs more than a great truck—it needs a dependable aftersales ecosystem. With UD Extra Mile Support, you get the right mix of preventive maintenance and parts, service agreements, fleet connectivity, and rapid roadside assistance to protect uptime and keep deliveries moving.

UD Trust: Service agreements

UD Trust is UD Trucks’ official service agreement program—designed to keep trucks running at peak efficiency through scheduled UD Genuine Service and UD Genuine Parts. It also supports clearer cost control with simple, no-hidden-costs invoicing and adviser support.

More volume and weight

In general cargo, productivity is often won on how efficiently you use every trip. With multiple wheelbases and axle configurations — including 6×2 variants in selected models — Croner can be specified to balance payload, body capacity, and maneuverability for your operation. This flexibility helps you increase delivery efficiency while staying within local regulations and vehicle ratings.

Sensitive goods safely transported

Driver availability is reshaping distribution fleets worldwide. Features that reduce workload — such as automatic transmission options in selected models — can help make daily operations more accessible for a wider range of drivers and support more consistent driving performance across the fleet, while simplifying onboarding and training.

Easier driving for all

In an industry currently battling the effects of driver shortage, the ability to create easier driving can contribute significantly to attracting new talent. Automatic transmission is a great leveller in this respect, enabling drivers of all ages and experience to achieve better safety and improved fuel efficiency. Businesses can benefit from a more even and consistent quality of driving, not to mention the shorter time it takes to train new drivers using an automatic gearbox.

More comfort, better safety

A comfortable, practical cab supports safer, more efficient workdays. Croner offers cab choices designed for commercial distribution needs — including wider cab options up to 2.3 meters on selected models — to improve space and workability. And because safety requirements and feature availability vary by market, UD and its dealer network help you specify the right configuration for your routes, load type, and local regulations.
