Reduced air resistance

Minimizing aerodynamic drag is important since it decreases the wind resistance, leading to better fuel consumption. To reduce drag Quester has the option of fitting roof and side air deflectors. In addition the on-road cab comes as standard with side air vents which also keep the dirt of the side of the cab.

Less fuel per ton carried

Quester has a wide range of different product types such as 6×2T and 8×4R which combined with well dimensioned components and axles offers high GCWs and GVWs. This maximizes the payload and reduces the fuel consumption per ton carried.

Quester comes with a real-time Fuel Coach. The display shows the driver when to shift, brake or accelerate for maximum time in the engines optimum fuel efficient rev range, the so called sweet spot The system is simple to understand and easy to use.

Driving analysis

Quester’s Fuel coaching system is equipped with a telematics system that stores trip data such as distance traveled, fuel consumption and engines operating time in the optimum rev range. Download data and review the logs to improve your transport efficiency even further.

Road speed limiter

Maximum road speed is one of the most important factors with regards to fuel economy. Quester can be ordered with a set speed limiter which can help you reduce fuel consumption by an additional setting in the display.
