At the Partner Conference in Japan, UD Trucks recognised exceptional performance from dealers across the world. This year, South Africa shone brightly, earning three prestigious awards:

  • CMH Commercial Pinetown - Retail Excellence Award.
  • McCarthy Commercial Alrode - Aftersales Award.
  • Billson Trucks Gqeberha - Innovation and Sustainability Award.

These accolades reflect the dedication, professionalism and customer-first approach of UD Trucks’ dealer network in South Africa, the company says. The company remains committed to supporting its partners as they continue to drive growth, operational excellence and innovation in the commercial transport industry.

The Partner Conference in Japan offered attendees a unique and immersive experience that showcased the brand’s heritage, excellence and future direction. Partners had the opportunity to explore the Japan Motor Show, visit the state-of-the-art UD Experience Centre and tour the UD Trucks manufacturing plant.

These engagements gave first-hand insights into UD Trucks’ advanced engineering, driver-centric design, including its long-term commitment to sustainable transport solutions.
