Teo Tuan Kwee Sdn Bhd (TTK) Director, Teo Chee Ben signed the Scania Ecolution partnership agreement for 10 of its New Truck Generation prime movers at its branch office recently.
Scania Ecolution is a partnership between Scania and customers with the aim to reduce carbon footprint via total solutions. The aim is to reduce the emission of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) through the lowering of fuel consumption, thus lowering the costs of operation. To achieve the aim, driver and vehicle performances are tracked via Scania Fleet Management Control 10 Package, analysed and discussed between TTK and Scania periodically in order to implement the right solutions.
“We are pleased that the Scania Ecolution way of working initiated by Scania for its customers is going to help us save more fuel by raising the standards of our drivers. And more importantly, after all these years we are finally doing something about reducing our CO2 emission and doing our bit to reduce climate change,” said Ben.
“We have been using Scania trucks since 2000 and impressed by its performance, especially the fuel savings, started buying even more since 2012 and to date we have a strong fleet of 100 Scania trucks that was purchased from Scania Malaysia,” said Ben.
After two decades of using Scania trucks, TTK welcomes the introduction of the Scania New Truck Generation due to its design features such as the advanced powertrain and aerodynamic solutions that delivers a minimum of 3 per cent fuel savings.
Other key features of TTK’s NTGs include new design and frontal shape and chassis for improved dynamics; maintenance based on operation to increase uptime and profitability; enhanced driver’s seat adjustment, close to the door; extended storage; new infotainment system with 7” touch screen.
The large windscreen with extended view makes it easy for the TTK’s drivers to operate comfortably and safely. The Electronic Braking System (EBS), the Opticruise and in-built Speed Limiter, makes the Scania prime mover one of the safest in the world. All these technologically advanced features keep the prime movers running with maximum uptime.
As an option, the roll-over curtain side airbags, and the retarder are also available as an added safety feature.
