its long-term plan is to eventually replace the recondi- tioned trucks it currently operates with two or three new Scania trucks every six months.
The keys to its two latest P410LA6X2MSZ trucks were re- cently handed to the Managing Director of SMG, Kanapa- thy Raman Satish, by the Sales Director for Scania South- east Asia, Tuan Haji Idros Puteh.
These Scania trucks come with the Opticruise feature that is described as having the best in class optimal gear change to give drivers better attention on manoeuvring the heavy vehicles while reducing fuel consumption, clutch and synchromesh wear.
With its powerful engine, Scania says the P410 delivers higher torque at lower revs, giving better drivability apart from ‘giving the drivers a pleasurable drive’ with its fully adjustable steering wheel and enhanced driver cabin er- gonomics to keep them constantly focused and alert to maintain personal safety and that of other road-users.
The new trucks also come with the two-year free Scania Maintenance package, two years of free 24/7 Scania As- sistance and a ten-year free Fleet Management System (FMS). SMG secured these trucks via the Scania Credit facility together with the insurance coverage.
To ensure maximum truck uptime, Scania says the Repair and Maintenance contracts were signed, including the Scania Driver Services and Fleet Management System.
The Scania Driver Services consist of the Driver Sup- port System that gives indications of the drivers’ be- haviour. With Driver Training drivers get to hone their skills while Driver Coaching constantly reminds drivers on their driving behaviour that needs correction over long periods of time.
The FMS Monitor, Control and Data Control packages activated via a communicator that comes standard with these new Scania trucks are said to enable operators to achieve up to 10-per cent fuel economy.
“It goes way beyond just buying trucks to operate our business as we have pleasantly discovered. It’s the total sustainable transport solutions that come with the pur- chase of these new Scania trucks that makes our invest- ment more viable in the long term,” stated Kanapathy.
这家拥有一支 30 部卡车的家族公司，业务复盖整个马来西亚半 岛。它的长期计划是每隔6个月，购买两到三部斯堪尼亚卡车来 取代它目前所使用的翻新卡车。
斯堪尼亚东南亚销售总监哈芝伊德里斯(Tuan Haji Idros Puteh)将两部最新的 P410LA6X2MSZ 卡车钥匙移交给 SMG董事经 理卡纳帕提(Kanapathy Raman Satish)。
该斯堪尼亚 P410LA6x2MSZ 卡车备有Opticruise，被形容为拥有 同级中最佳的优化换档，除了能够让司机们更专注于操纵卡车 外，还可减少油耗，以及离合器和同步器的耗损。
据斯堪尼亚表示，搭载强劲引擎的P410可在转速较低时提供更大 扭力，呈献更佳驾驶性能。 它配备可调整方向盘和提升的人体工 学设计驾驶室，让司机们能够时时刻刻保持专注和警觉，照顾自 己和其他公路使用者的安全。
这些新卡车附带两年的免费斯堪尼亚保养配套，两年免费全天候 斯堪尼亚援助及10 年免费车队管理系统(FMS)。除此之外，SMG 也通过附加保险保障的斯堪尼亚信贷 融资便利，购买这些卡车。
斯堪尼亚表示，为了确保这些卡车带来最长的运作时间，SMG签 署了卡车修理与保养合约，包括斯堪尼亚驾驶员服务和车队管理 系统。
斯堪尼亚司驾驶员服务包括可显示司机行为的驾驶员支持系统。 通过驾驶员培训，司机可磨练驾驶技巧，驾驶员辅导则不时提醒 司机和规范他们的驾驶行为。
车队管理系统(FMS)的监督，控制及数据控制配套是通过一个通 信器来启动，该通信器是这些新斯堪尼亚卡车的标准配备，可让 营运者节省高达 10% 的燃料。
“我们发现我们获得的好处远远超越仅仅只是购买卡车。我们通 过购买这些新斯堪尼亚车而得以享有全面的可持续性运输解决方 案，使我们的投资在长远下来更为值得。”卡纳帕提说。
