he said practice and commitment were vital. “Our job requires us to be on the road roughly 8 hours a day, almost every day. While we are responsible for transporting and delivering our loads in a safe and timely fashion, we also need to ensure that we apply fuel-efficient driving techniques. This helps us not only to reduce environmental footprints but to conserve fuel – which contributes to reducing busi- ness costs,” said Nor Rahmat.
The competition also condones proper management, vehicle optimi- sation, performance monitoring, safety measures, and maintenance of the truck prior to usage. “Quality, Safety, and Environmental Care have been our guiding principles since our inception in 1969. While we integrate these core values into our products, we strive to ensure that the end-users of our products – in this case, the drivers – also exhibit these very fundamental values in their everyday driving,” said Mats Nilsson, Managing Director of Volvo Malaysia.
“On a related note, we welcome the Government’s recent announce- ment to introduce Euro 5 in a bid to have cleaner fuels on Malaysian roads, as well as the support already expressed by several petro- leum companies,” added Nilsson.
Guest-of-honour Mohd Yusop Mohamad, Assistant Director of Au- tomotive Engineering Division, Road Transport Department (JPJ), Malaysia Ministry of Transport (MOT), again lent his support to Volvo and the event. “One of the key challenges for the transportation and logistics industry today is the rise in fuel costs. And threats to the environment posed by excessive carbon emission is another issue we are grappling with. I am glad to see private companies like Volvo Trucks seriously taking a responsibility to help improve the situation for industry, environment and communities by contributing to fuel ef- ficient and safe driving behaviour,” he said.
“赢得该挑战，对我来说是个惊喜，让我无比激动。 我在日常驾驶中都惯常采用省油技巧，如今我的努力 总算获得了回报。”诺阿曼说。“与其它的国家的优 胜者竞争确实令人精神紧张，但是我会尽我所能做到 最好。我希望自己能够让马来西亚感到骄傲。”
询及他对其他的司机有什么样的建议时，他说练习和 坚定的意志很重要。“我们的工作需要我们几乎每天 在路上行驶大约8小时。我们的责任除了安全运输和即 时送货外，我们还必须确保自己运用省油驾驶技巧。 这不仅协助我们降低对环境的冲击，而且省油—这可 降低生意成本。” 诺拉曼兹表示。
该竞赛还包括了正确的管理、汽车优化、性能监控、 安全措施及在使用卡车前的卡车维护。“品质、安全 性及环保是我们的指导原则，我们努力确保我们产品 的终端用户，在这方面，即司机，能够在他们每日的 驾驶里实践这样的基本价值。”富豪马来西亚董事经 理尼尔森(Mats Nilsson)表示。
“在这里我也对政府最近宣布将为马来西亚的道路推 出更干净的欧5石油，还有来自各个石油公司的支持， 深表欢迎。”他补充说。
该活动的嘉宾，马来西亚交通部陆路交通局(JPJ)汽 车工程部副总监阿莫哈末尤索夫(Mohd Yusop Mo- hamad)再次支持该活动。“燃油成本是今天运输和物 流业的其中一个主要的挑战。另一个问题是过多的二 氧化碳排放对环境所造成的威胁。我很开心私人公司 如富豪卡车通过燃油效率和安全驾驶行为，很认真地 肩负起改善这个行业的情况、环境及社群的责任。” 他说。
