QUESTER: STRONG AND RELIABLE FRAME
A heavy-duty chassis with high flexibility and quality is one of Quester’s main characteristics. The design of components comes from UD Trucks’ and Volvo Group’s proven commercial-vehicle technology. The entire chassis is subject to extensive tests in accordance with our global standards. This guarantees high reliability, good economy and a long life.
Strong and flexible frame
The Quester frame is robust and handles tough demands. The side rail
section is made from strong and durable rolling form steel and is available in
thicknesses of 7.0 or 8.0 mm. Rolling form is a torsional flexible frame with
uniform stiffness, good for vertical stress and torsion stress when rolling and
pitching happen together. This reduces stress from uneven road surfaces,
loads with high center of gravity and unevenly distributed loads, making it
suitable for many different conditions.
The toughest rear suspension
The T-ride rear suspension on the 6×4T/R is designed for rough conditions and
particularly suitable for construction where durability and high reliability are of the
highest importance. Rubber springs between the springs and rear axles contribute to
good comfort under all axle loads. Rubber journaled V-stays and reduction rods give
a smooth operation.
A powertrain for the long run
You get durability to go the distance. The Quester driveline is carefully balanced
to optimize performance under varying conditions. It gives excellent fuel
economy at cruising speed due to the possibility of matching the driveline with
the correct rear axle ratio.A locally sourced and popular transmission based on
well-proven technology. We have further developed it to withstand tough
conditions and meet our customers’ demands. After rigorous testing we have
obtained first-rate results for reliability and durability. For the 11-liter engine you
have a choice of 9 or 12 speed. For the 8-liter engine you can have 6 or 9 speed.
Safety tested cab
The Quester cab has passed the ECE R29/ AIS029 crash safety test, which
includes a front impact test and a simulated roof strength test. This shows
that the cab is able to withstand impact and provide a safe space for the
driver.
