UD Trucks Indonesia closed 2025 with a clearer focus, namely building a safer, more efficient, and sustainable logistics industry. Throughout this year, the company has rolled out a number of strategic steps, ranging from strengthening driver education to launching new products designed to meet operational needs in the field.
The momentum was seen since the presence of UD Trucks at GIIAS 2025. Not only showing off the vehicle line, the Japanese manufacturer also presents a safety education program that targets drivers directly. This initiative is based on the view that technology will not work optimally without adequate human behavior and competence.
"Safety is not only technology, but habits. This year we strengthen our commitment to empower Indonesian drivers to be more prepared for the demands of the modern industry," said Vice President Director, Marketing & After Sales Service Director of UD Trucks Indonesia Handi Lim, to reporters, Monday, December 15.
Through the training session, drivers are equipped with an understanding of braking techniques, fatigue management, daily vehicle inspections, to the utilization of technologies such as ESCOT and My UD Fleet. This approach aims to encourage a change in mindset, from safety that is reactive to a daily operational culture.

In addition to human resource development, UD Trucks also strengthens its product portfolio through the launch of the New Kuzer SKE 150. Indonesia is the second country in Southeast Asia to introduce this model, signifying the strategic position of the domestic market in UD Trucks' regional development map.
The New Kuzer SKE 150 carries a Euro 4 engine with EGR and DOC technology designed to provide a balance between performance, fuel efficiency, and cleaner emissions. This truck targets the needs of urban distribution to heavy sectors such as mining and plantations.
In terms of design, the New Kuzer is equipped with an ergonomic cabin with wider visibility to reduce driver fatigue. LED headlamp and DRL lighting systems, Kuzer full maintenance package, and Astra UD Trucks service network support based on a single ID are also prepared to reduce the risk of fleet downtime.
Astra UD Trucks Chief Executive Officer Winarto Martono said the presence of the New Kuzer not only offers product excellence, but also reflects the company's consistency in maintaining quality standards.
"The new Kuzer SKE 150 is a real solution for customer productivity. With fuel efficiency, lower emissions, and integrated after-sales service, we help customers keep their fleets optimal and operational costs more under control," he said.
He added that this consistency has been recognized globally through the Quality Assurance Awards 2025 from UD Trucks Corporation Japan, as proof of the implementation of global quality standards, from the sales process to after-sales service.
