World’s largest KANJI drawn by a UD truck with Active Steering

On July 1, in conjunction with the launch of UD Active Steering in Japan, UD Trucks used calligraphy to illustrate the technology’s steering precision, drawing the world’s largest KANJI (Japanese character) ever drawn by a truck. The character for “technique,” or WAZA in Japanese, was drawn by a heavy-duty Quon equipped with UD Active Steering.
Gyousyou Suzuki, a renowned calligrapher, collaborated on the Giant Masterpiece. The rear of the UD Active Steering-equipped Quon was adorned with a massive brush. On Suzuki’s orders, the truck drew the character stroke after stroke, with dexterity comparable to the calligrapher’s delicate and careful hand and brush movements. This feat was made possible by the ability to drive the vehicle with such a light touch, even with just one finger.
