Gerimis Baiduri Sdn Bhd (Gerimis Baiduri), a homegrown logistics provider for the frozen and chill industry, has taken delivery of five units of UD Trucks’ New Kuzer light-duty model from LK Utara Sdn Bhd (LK Utara), a dealer of Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd (TCIE), the authorized and sole distributor for UD Trucks in Malaysia. The new trucks at Gerimis Baiduri, will be utilized to enhance the productivity of its daily transportation activities.
A vehicle handover ceremony was held recently at Gerimis Baiduri’s headquarters in Puchong, Selangor. The event was attended by Dato Liew Tiam Seng, Managing Director of Gerimis Baiduri, Loh Thim Choy, Chief Operating Officer of TCIE and Chong Boon Fuei, Managing Director of LK Utara, in which a presentation of truck mock key was held to signify the completion of handover.
UD Trucks’ New Kuzer was launched just several months ago in Malaysia. The truck was developed to offer greater productivity for companies and logistics operators through six key enhancements which are payload, performance, chassis, emission, durability and safety. Its performance and improved emission standard are delivered by a 5.2 liter Euro 4 engine with advanced fuel injection system and six-speed overdrive gear box.
Dato Liew Tiam Seng, Managing Director of Gerimis Baiduri shared, “Since our establishment 25 years ago, Gerimis Baiduri has grown to become one of Malaysia’s important logistics providers specializing in frozen and refrigerated trucks, offering customized solutions to all our clients. We emphasized on developing our people, instilling passion in them and creating progress together to deliver exceptional transportation services, with a focus on environmental sustainability and exceeding customer expectations.”
Gerimis Baiduri has been a customer of UD Trucks since 2008 and now owns more than 100 units of its medium and light-duty commercial vehicles. “We trust this is a good investment and we look forward for the New Kuzer to deliver better fuel savings and increase the productivity of our logistics operations through greater uptime,” added Dato Liew.
New Kuzer is available in 7.5 ton and 8.5 ton Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), with the 7.5 ton variant offering a payload of 4,880kg which is over 600kg more than its predecessor model. With higher payload and robustness to carry more weight per trip, customers will be able to maximize deliveries and enhance productivity. In the long run, this efficiency can certainly help companies lower their operational costs.
The safety features of New Kuzer include SRS Airbag, Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR), Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Cab Tilt warning and reverse alarm. The cabin is certified by the ECE R29, a United Nations regulation on the safety and strength of commercial vehicle cabins for occupant protection. Meanwhile, the truck’s LED head lamps ensure better visibility for the driver, thus further contributing to safety.
“We are honored to continue to bring value to Gerimis Baiduri, who will be able to achieve greater impact from every delivery with New Kuzer. Our team is always ready to extend full support through the UD Extra Mile Services package which include benefits such as genuine parts, fixed-price maintenance plans with priority scheduling, 24/7 Res-Q roadside assistance and quality service for sustained uptime,” added Loh.
Customers of UD Trucks’ New Kuzer are also covered with a competitive warranty coverage of five years or 300,000km, whichever comes first.
