GK Series Overview

Overview

GK 17 400 is a workhorse that won't let you down. Ideal for vehicle transport, single trailer metro delivery and even B-double interstate applications, GK provides operators with an efficient, proven and tested truck that can be trusted to perform.

FUPS

UD's heavy duty trucks offer Front Under-Run Protection System (FUPS) and a 6.5t front axle capacity as standard. 

Performance

The UD GE13, 13 litre, 6 cylinder  turbo* diesel in GK 17 400 will improve fuel economy by approximately 10% over an equivalent EGR engine.  It offers 287kW with 1716 Nm at 1100rpm, combined with proven  SCR technology and 25,000 km service intervals.  UD's heavy duty trucks makes sound business sense. At 100kph, GK 17 400 is pulling a low 1695 rpm ins tandard configurations, which means you use less fuel to get the job done.

Mass ratings & Suspension

GK 17 400 provides GVM of 16,500kg and GCM up to 40,000kg. GK can be B-Double rated. Wheelbase is fixed at 3530mm with a WABCO ECAS (Electronic Controlled) Air Suspension) with programmable remote control mounted in cab.

Features

GK 17 400's new  cabin blends contemporary design with functionality with improved driver safety and comfort. Excellent storage, carpet, headroom and legroom create a cabin that is roomy, comfortable and designed for the operator. With a driver's SRS airbag, climate control air-conditioning and a new SAT/NAV Audio, Navigation & Entertainment System and Easy Hill Start, the 'office' just got a whole lot more productive. Add other features like 24v power supply, large centre console, triple arm 2 speed wipers, heated and electronically operated mirrors, ADR42/04 compliant sleeper bunk, heated and cooled storage box, cruise control and power windows to complete the picture.

Automated Transmission

GK 17 400 comes with UD's renown ESCOT 9 speed semi automated manual transmission, calibrated by UD's Australian engineers and recognised as easily the best, smoothest installation in the country. The UD ESCOT gearbox  will make  life easier for operators, especially in metro driving situations.

Emissions

SCR technology eliminates 95% of Nitrous Oxides (NOx) and most of the greenhouse gases.  All of  UD's SCR equipped heavy duty trucks are some of the cleanest available in the Australian market. Importantly, UD's technology will remain fundamentally the same through the Euro 6 update.
