Get brand details
GET https://api.motomarks.io/brands/udThe UD name dates back to 1935 when the company began as Nihon Diesel Industries and used the designation "Uniflow Diesel" (UD) for its engines. The business later became Nissan Diesel and carried through distinctive utilitarian badges on its commercial vehicles. In 2007 Nissan Diesel was rebranded as UD Trucks, adopting the UD name as the corporate and product brand to emphasise reliability and a modern global identity. Ownership has changed over time—most notably part of the Volvo Group for many years and transferred to Isuzu Motors in 2021—while the UD brand identity has remained focused on commercial vehicle dependability.
