Japanese truck-maker UD Trucks Corporation announced that it has launched its new Kuzer light-duty truck for international markets, with Malaysia as the first market to receive the model. The new Kuzer light truck will be rolled out in other markets in the region over the next year.

The new Kuzer in based on Isuzu’s N-Series (Elf) light truck range, after the two companies stepped up their integration following Isuzu’s acquisition of UD Trucks from Volvo Trucks in 2021. In Malaysia, the two companies have been collaborating since 2023.

The new Kuzer is available in Malaysia with 7.5 and 8.5 tons GVWs and comes with a reduced chassis weight to provide additional payload capacity. The Kuzer, which retains the basic UD Trucks cabin design, is powered by Isuzu’s 4HK1-TC 5.2L engine. It comes with advanced features as standard including ABS, EBD, ASR, SRS airbags, and LED headlamps, as well as standard security features including immobilizer, central locking, and remote keyless entry.
