On July 11, 2026, VIPEC JSC (VIPEC – Specialized Equipment and Vehicles Joint Stock Company), together with PALFINGER Vietnam, participated in the Grand Opening Ceremony of the UD Trucks Tien Giang 3S Showroom. The event welcomed more than 160 distinguished guests, including representatives from UD Trucks Global, UD Trucks Vietnam, strategic partners, and customers from across the Mekong Delta.

The ceremony marked an important milestone in the expansion of the UD Trucks dealer network in Southern Vietnam while providing an excellent opportunity for VIPEC and PALFINGER to introduce their latest UD Trucks fitted with PALFINGER SPK loader cranes and PALFINGER truck-mounted crane solutions, offering efficient transportation and lifting solutions for Vietnamese businesses.

Spectacular Lion Dance and PALFINGER Crane Performance Opened the Ceremony

The event officially began with an energetic traditional drum performance and lion dance on the main stage, creating an exciting atmosphere while symbolizing prosperity, success, and good fortune for the opening of the UD Trucks Tien Giang 3S Showroom. The vibrant performance immediately captivated the audience and set the tone for the day’s celebrations.

Following the stage performance, the lion dance team moved to the outdoor display area, where they performed an eye-catching act by climbing onto a ceremonial banner suspended from a PALFINGER SPK loader crane. Through the seamless coordination between the lion dancers and VIPEC’s crane operators, the crane elevated the banner high above the audience, symbolizing growth, prosperity, and a successful new beginning. This unique combination of Vietnamese tradition and modern lifting technology demonstrated the precision, stability, and safety of the UD Trucks fitted with PALFINGER SPK loader cranes, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees.

PALFINGER × VIPEC Experience Zone Attracted Strong Customer Interest

The PALFINGER × VIPEC Experience Zone became one of the busiest attractions throughout the event. Visitors had the opportunity to watch VIPEC technicians demonstrate the operation of PALFINGER SPK folding cranes mounted on UD Trucks tractor heads, using advanced remote-control technology.

The live demonstrations highlighted the cranes’ precise movements, flexible operation, and exceptional safety, even in confined working environments.

In addition, guests were invited to participate in the PALFINGER CUP – Goal Challenge, an interactive competition where participants remotely operated the crane to lift, move, and accurately place a ball through a designated target. The activity allowed customers to experience PALFINGER’s advanced control technology firsthand while creating an exciting atmosphere throughout the event.

VIPEC, UD Trucks, PALFINGER and Bodor Tech Signed a Strategic Partnership to Develop Next-Generation Specialized Vehicles

One of the most significant highlights of the event was the Strategic Cooperation Signing Ceremony between UD Trucks Vietnam, VIPEC, PALFINGER Vietnam, and Bodor Tech Vietnam for the joint development of UD Trucks fitted with PALFINGER loader cranes.

The agreement represents more than a strategic partnership among four leading companies. It establishes a long-term vision for developing innovative specialized vehicles capable of meeting Vietnam’s growing demand for integrated transportation and lifting solutions.

UD Trucks Tractor Head Equipped with a 12-ton PALFINGER SPK Loader Crane

During the product presentation, the partners introduced several new specialized vehicle concepts developed on the UD Trucks platform integrated with PALFINGER SPK loader cranes. Among the highlights was the UD Trucks tractor head equipped with a 12-ton PALFINGER SPK loader crane, a “2-in-1” solution capable of both semi-trailer hauling and lifting heavy steel structures, machinery, utility poles, and oversized cargo. This innovative configuration enables businesses to optimize investment costs while significantly improving operational efficiency.

UD Trucks 8×4 Truck Equipped with a 26-ton PALFINGER Folding Crane

The partners also unveiled plans to develop a UD Trucks 8×4 truck equipped with a PALFINGER folding crane with a lifting capacity of up to 26 tons. Expected to become a breakthrough product in Vietnam’s specialized vehicle market, this solution combines the mobility of a conventional truck with lifting capabilities previously available only on dedicated mobile cranes.

In addition to these flagship models, visitors explored a range of UD Trucks tractor heads and trucks equipped with PALFINGER SPK cranes ranging from 8 to 12 tons, offering versatile solutions for logistics, construction, power utilities, infrastructure development, and heavy industries.

Through the strategic collaboration between UD Trucks, VIPEC, PALFINGER, and Bodor Tech, the partners aim to establish a comprehensive ecosystem of high-quality specialized vehicles that comply with Vietnamese technical standards while delivering safe, reliable, and efficient lifting solutions nationwide.

Symbolic Crane Key Handover Created a Memorable Vehicle Delivery Ceremony

The event also featured the official handover ceremony for UD Trucks tractor heads equipped with PALFINGER loader cranes, witnessed by representatives from UD Trucks Vietnam, PALFINGER Vietnam, Bodor Tech, VIPEC, and valued customers.

One of the ceremony’s most memorable moments was the symbolic key handover performed by the PALFINGER SPK loader crane. Instead of the traditional key presentation, the crane carefully lifted and delivered the ceremonial key directly to the customer on stage. The highly precise lifting operation demonstrated the exceptional accuracy, flexibility, and safety of the UD Trucks fitted with PALFINGER SPK loader crane, earning enthusiastic applause from the audience.

This unique ceremony marked the successful delivery of the first UD Trucks tractor heads equipped with PALFINGER cranes to customers while reaffirming the long-term partnership between UD Trucks Vietnam, VIPEC, PALFINGER, and Bodor Tech in providing advanced specialized vehicle solutions for the Vietnamese market.
