Volvo AB said July 11 it is updating its Condor line of medium-duty trucks for sale in Japan by its UD Trucks division, effective July 12.
The Condor MK and LK trucks made by UD, formerly Nissan Diesel, will be able to haul 8,000 to 12,000 pounds, Volvo said in a statement.
“The new Condor models are powered by engines fitted with a newly developed common rail system that increases the maximum fuel-injection pressure for achieving high levels of power and torque in a small displacement volume,” Volvo said.
Volvo, based in Sweden, purchased a majority stake in Nissan Diesel in 2006, bought the rest of the company in 2009 and changed the name to UD last year, giving Volvo a medium-duty platform to supplement its international offering of heavy-duty trucks, including Volvo Trucks North America and Mack Trucks.
