 Smart Fuel Efficiency and Environmental Care

Advanced Fuel Efficiency

for a Greener Future
Quon’s new driveline features a cleaner, improved ‘GH11 Engine’ with
increased horsepower and torque, and the ESCOT-VI automated manual
transmission with enhancements to fuel efficiency. The driveline uses
advanced technology and upgraded features to achieve higher fuel
efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and smooth, comfortable driving with
little fatigue.

Fuel efficient, powerful, clean ‘GH11 Engine’

The ‘GH11 Engine’ uses the unique properties of both a unit injector and a common rail system.
The GH11 is able to generate torque at a low revolution speed, and can continue across a wide
revolution range. It also features a new fuel injection system, and improvements to the shape of
the combustion chamber.

10%* more fuel efficient than Japan’s current fuel economy standards for commercial trucks, the
GH11 readily complies with stringent pPNLT (post-Post New Long-Term) exhaust gas emissions
regulations — equivalent Euro 6 emission requirements.

Upgraded with a new high-strength clutch and flywheel (460PS), along with additional noise
insulation and better heat management, the new design improves fuel efficiency by 2.5%. It’s an
improvement that aligns with Japan’s agenda of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
