Scania and Michelin: A Perfect Match for Heavy Load- Capacity Performance, Fuel Economy and Safety
The Scania Driver Competition (SDC) is one of the most rec- ognised events for drivers of trucks and buses in Ma- laysia, given the high level of skill required and stringent judging criteria.
In addition to the high stan- dards, the 2014/2015 edition will be even tougher with the participation of drivers from Singapore, thus raising the stakes in the competition.
