Here at Kuda, we are proud to stock a huge range of fantastic trucking accessories and aerodynamics from a wide array of high-quality manufacturers. But did you know, we also make our very own products right here in the UK?

Re-introducing TruckChef, CabStore, MirrorShield, TreadSafe, and iAM, Kuda’s very own in-house brands. With these 5 products, we have provided the ultimate essentials in aerodynamics for both inside and outside of the cab. Today, we take a deeper look into each of our own brands and show you how they can benefit just about any trucker!

TruckChef Microwaves:
Making sure you get a good meal when you’re on the go is vital, and sometimes, fast food just isn’t what you’re after. That’s where TruckChef comes in. Built specifically for use in vehicles, TruckChef runs off of a 24v system while still providing an impressive 800w power, outperforming competitors by up to 30%. From its humble roots back in 2013, TruckChef has quickly become one of Europe’s fastest selling 24v microwaves.

With TruckChef, you get a huge 20L capacity, making it just like your microwave at home. Gone are the days of spending a fortune on food when you’re out on the road; whether it’s leftovers, microwave dinners, or creative microwave recipes, TruckChef ensures that you can enjoy delicious food wherever you are. Each microwave comes with a bespoke fitting kit specific to your vehicle, so you can ensure the perfect fit every time. 

Kuda have achieved a product that fits the largest range of commercial vehicles out there, so there’s sure to be something for almost every driver.

Because it’s made right here in the UK, TruckChef is confidently backed by a full, 3-year return to base warranty as standard. Our in-house technical team are on hand to respond quickly to any problems or queries you may have with your microwave. Once you contact our team, they will arrange a collection and manage your claim right up until its resolution. With this assurance, you can purchase your TruckChef microwave worry-free.

If there’s one in-cab essential you need, this is it!






CabStore Lockers:
For the driver who likes a tidy and organised cab, look no further than CabStore! Kuda’s very own interior locker system is perfect for storing those important on-the-road essentials and keeping your belongings safe and secure. CabStore’s large storage volume provides the driver with maximum usable space inside their cab, while the sleek roller shutter doors allow for a neat look and easy opening.

With CabStore, you don’t have to worry about overcomplicated assembly; each locker is tailored specifically to your vehicle and utilises the existing factory fitting points. CabStore’s fitting process is fast and straightforward, taking only around 2 hours on average! To help you out, we provide clear mounting instructions as well as telephone support from our Kuda team, so we can guide you through the process.


To ensure your lockers look great, CabStore aims to achieve an OEM look and feel with a variety of colours matched closely to your vehicle’s interior. Each locker also comes with customisable lighting options, allowing you to add an underside locker LED strip or Kuda’s interior lighting package. The latter of these provides lighting for the inside of your CabStore locker compartments, illuminating automatically in low lighting conditions when the roller shutter is opened. The LED strip is perfect for those who want to add some additional in-cab lighting and create a relaxing atmosphere for dark evenings.

Most importantly, CabStore provides the perfect storage or mounting platform for additional in-cab electronics. Each locker also comes with a compartment perfectly sized to take a TruckChef microwave! CabStore is a great all-rounder, and the perfect addition to really make your cab a home.


MirrorShield Mirror Guards:
Take your mirror protection to the next level with MirrorShield: mirror guards suitable for trucks, vans and even mirror cams! With vehicle mirrors becoming increasingly larger, they are a big target for damage and cost more to replace than ever. At Kuda, we understand how important it is to keep your mirrors in full working order - that’s why we developed MirrorShield.

Designed, engineered, and produced from the ground up right here in the UK, MirrorShield provides super tough protection with no compromise on visibility or aerodynamics. Each set of MirrorShields is constructed from a super strong, formulated fibre mix, offering an unrivalled level of protection that is both lightweight and highly effective in protecting both the mirror and its housing from all kinds of impact. Whether it be narrow lanes, overgrown hedges, close passing vehicles or harder,

more severe bumps, MirrorShield minimises the severity of any potential damages.

Whatever your style, MirrorShield can work for you, with a wide range of colours available. From stock, we provide mirror guards in black, white, and our signature MirrorShield yellow, but all guards can also be matched to any solid RAL colour (minimum order quantities apply on non-standard solid colours). 

Each MirrorShield is bespoke to a specific make and model of vehicle, carefully moulding to the exact shape of the vehicle’s mirrors. Because of this, there is no compromise on visibility for the driver; MirrorShields are large and protective, but do not obscure your view at all, ensuring your safety by allowing perfect viewing angles.

If you’re serious about protecting your mirrors, MirrorShield is an absolute necessity!


TreadSafe Catwalks:
For carrying out work behind the cab, having a stable platform to stand on is paramount - that’s where TreadSafe comes in! Welcome to the future of secure safety platforms, engineered right here in the UK. By creating a new sub-frame that provides a level surface, Kuda have designed a large, safe working area in the form of a non-slip, aluminium catwalk.

There are many ways that TreadSafe is engineered to provide maximum effectiveness, beginning with the tapered edges, designed and tested to allow optimum airflow. By using a tapered profile, aerodynamic drag is reduced along the side of the vehicle, meaning TreadSafe won’t slow you down. The super-safe reverse punch tread across the surface of the catwalk created an anti-slip working area. The punch is engineered with the optimum top roll radius, increasing grip, and removing sharp edges. This means that while you are unlikely to fall, if you were to trip, you would be less likely to be injured- it’s a win-win!

All of our catwalks come with pre-applied safety decals in an eye-catching, super visible red and yellow design. This increases safety for both the end user and other road users and ensures that you stand out on the road. We love our TreadSafe logo, and are proud to feature this on the decals, but we are also able to offer custom branded decals too (minimum order quantities apply). Company logo’s, customised safety messages, and more are all welcome additions- if you speak with us, we will be able to arrange this with you.

From a practicality perspective, we knew it was important to make sure that TreadSafe doesn’t get in the way of essential vehicle maintenance. Because of this, we have engineered our catwalks in a way that makes them easy to remove for vehicle maintenance. Sometimes, there is no need to install a full width chassis catwalk, therefore, we also provide additional in-fill panels to accompany the factory fitted catwalk pieces. All in-fill panels are manufactured from the same high-quality aluminium as our full catwalks and are super simple to install.

For those who need to carry out work behind the cab, TreadSafe is a must!


iAM Air Kits:
Having the incorrect aerodynamic set up for your vehicle can cost you thousands in excess fuel. At Kuda, we want all of our customers to get the most out of their mileage, and for that, we designed iAM.

iAM air management kits have been engineered from the ground up with optimum fuel efficiency in mind- and they’re sure to look great too! By enabling almost flawless air flow over the trailer, iAM decreases the amount of drag cause by the exposed bulk head face, and keeps those fuel costs down. iAM’s unique shape enables it to be fitted to almost any truck quickly and easily.

At Kuda, we produce some of Europe’s leading roof spoilers and aerodynamic aids; having everything produced in- house enables us to continually monitor and improve the designs of our air management kits, keeping them up to date and available for the latest vehicles.

In as little as just 25 weeks, an iAM kit will pay for itself, with potential savings of up to £3525 per truck, per year! The savings you could make over time are truly staggering, and especially if you have a lot of vehicles, iAM is a must-have. We are pleased to supply a range of kits for a variety of vehicles, offering full kits, top spoiler, blade only options and more. We have kits to begin your air management set up from scratch, and kits to suit existing factory uprights- there’s something for everyone.

For the cost-conscious driver, iAM is a necessity!
