Sani Express signes up as a Scania Ecolution Partner
Sani Express Sdn Bhd recently received 23 new Scania buses as part of its business practice to change its fleet regularly to provide customers with comfortable, safe and greener travel.
A handover ceremony took place at Terminal Bersepadu Selatan in Bandar Tasik Selatan and saw the first batch of the new buses being presented by Marie Sjödin Enström, Scania Southeast Asia Managing Director, to Wan Mohd Iskandar Dato’ Salleh, Sani Express Group Managing Director. Iskandar cited performance, reliability, safety and lower fuel consumption as some of the reasons for choosing Scania as part of its fleet refresh.
“It is important for us to refresh our buses every five years to provide our customers with the best service and Scania buses have proven themselves to be the right vehicles for our passengers. The new Scania buses would give us the opportunity to continue providing our customers with comfortable and worry free travel,” commented Iskandar.
Sani Express purchased Scania’s K410EB6X2 buses that are equipped with Scania Opticruise function, low noise levels with full air suspension for unparalleled comfort levels, electronic braking system (EBS), Scania Retarder, traction control, better fuel economy with a higher torque at lower revs engine, and fully adjustable steering wheel and hanging pedals for the comfort of the driver. The company also subscribes to the Fleet Management System Control 5 package and Scania Driver Training. These features, along with the subscribed packages, result in a bus that is described as safe, comfortable and fuel efficient for long distance travel with minimised impact to the environment.
In addition, Sani Express signed up as a Scania Ecolution partner as part of the company’s sustainability efforts to reduce its fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The partnership focuses on reducing operating cost, which translates to improved profitability while fulfilling the growing demand for green initiatives.
Iskandar added that the new bus featured a luxury interior. It could carry 48 passengers and the seats were not only wider but also very comfortable.
Sani Express, a major bus express company in Malaysia that was established in 2006, offers bus services to almost 30 destinations across Peninsular Malaysia such as Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Besut, Kota Bharu, Kuantan, Alor Star, Kangar and Kuala Perlis. The company currently owns 60 buses, including 45 Scania buses in its fleet, and is a Scania customer since 2008.
Among the 60 buses, Iskandar said 50 were double-decker buses with the remaining 10 units being high-deck buses.
“A double-decker bus offers more capacity and could carry a large number of passengers in comfort and safety. Thus, there is a growing demand for double-decker buses in the local market,” he said.
According to Marie, Scania has about 1,000 city buses and 1,000 coaches running on the road, with 60 per cent of them being double-decker buses.
“We are very pleased that Sani Express has once again placed its trust in Scania to provide quality vehicles. The recent handover is a reflection of our on-going commitment to provide customers with the best profitability and sustainability for their business,” stated Marie.

Sani Express私人有限公司近日接获23辆全新斯堪尼亚巴士。这是该公司定期更换车队的业务惯例，以便为客户提供舒适、安全及更环保的旅程。
该交车仪式在南湖镇巴士总站举行。斯堪尼亚东南亚董事经理玛丽（Marie Sjödin Enström）将新一批的巴士移交给Sani Express集团董事经理旺莫哈默依斯干达（Wan Mohd Iskandar Dato’ Salleh）。依斯干达表示，性能、可靠性、安全及较低的油耗是该公司选择斯堪尼亚来更新其部分车队的其中一些原因。

Sani Express购买了斯堪尼亚K410EB 6X2 巴士，配备斯堪尼亚Opticruise功能，全空气悬架提供无与伦比的舒适度、电子制动系统（EBS）、斯堪尼亚减速器、牵引控制、更节油的低转速扭矩更高的引擎、可完全调整的方向盘，以及对驾驶员来说更舒适的悬挂踏板。该公司采用第五车队管理系统控制配套和斯堪尼亚驾驶员培训服务。这些特点，再加上订购的配套，带来一辆安全、舒适、节油，对环境冲击最小的长途巴士。
此外，Sani Express还签署了斯堪尼亚Ecolution伙伴合约，作为该公司降低油耗和二氧化碳排放的可持续性努力。该伙伴关系聚焦于降低营运成本，并将之转化为盈利能力，同时满足不断增长的绿色倡议需求。
依斯干达补充，全新巴士拥有豪华内饰，能够运载48名乘客，座位不仅宽敞，而且相当舒适。

他透露说，在60辆巴士里有50辆是双层巴士，其中有10辆是高顶巴士。
“双层巴士拥有更高的载客量，能够安全和舒适地运送更多的乘客。因此，本地市场对双层巴士的需求正在增长。”
