Overview

The brief

The work

01 / Challenge

UD Trucks needed the Extra Mile Challenge to function as more than an event: a repeatable platform that turns driver skill, safety, and efficiency into a clear brand signal across multiple markets. Without a durable operating model, each edition would start from scratch.

02 / Transformation

YF delivered an end-to-end operating and communications toolkit for the global final: competition-flow governance, hospitality and transportation planning, a cohesive identity system, and a content framework designed to extend the program's reach beyond the event itself.

03 / Impact

UD Trucks received a repeatable global-event infrastructure that translates performance pillars, efficiency, safety, and technical excellence, into a consistent participant experience and content system. Every future edition now has a proven operational foundation to build from.
