SUSTAINABLE GROWTH WITH THE ECOLUTION WAY OF WORKING

Uptime from the start

 

When Mohd Sidek was given the opportunity to start his own LPG sub-distributorship in Senai by his elder brother Omar Amzah, Managing Director of Amzah Mohd Trading, little did he know that he was going to be a successful businessman with more room to grow further. It was the trust that he had built over 15 years through sweat and tears for Amzah Mohd Trading, established in 1992 that gave Omar the confidence of supporting him set up Mohd Sidek Amzah Enterprise in 2014. Being a sub-contractor to Omar exposed him to the business risks that his brother goes through but with continuous success, Mohd Sidek proudly purchased his first Scania truck G360LA4X2MNA to handle the transportation of the LPG cylinders from the Petronas refinery in Pasir Gudang to serve the exclusive Petronas LPG distributorship of Amzah Mohd Trading for the Senai zone in Johor state.

 

“We purchased our first Scania truck back in 2018 and the truck has been performing excellently with the best uptime. This truck has been travelling a minimum of two trips from Pasir Gudang to Senai for 26 days continuously in a month. With the Scania truck, we have peace of mind in knowing that our LPG transportation is smooth and safe,” said Mohd Sidek.

 

Mohd Sidek further added that as a truck driver himself, he understood the value of having the right vehicle for a successful business. Scania was naturally his first choice as it is a premium brand that prioritises both safety and performance especially when the truck will be transporting 21 pallets or 735 LPG cylinders during each trip.

 

“Having our own truck was a dream come true and is the key to expand our business as we can be more independent and plan our schedule better. Scania trucks are considered to be premium and have received many recommendations by truck drivers in the industry,” added Mohd Sidek.

 

Trust in the After-Sales Services

 

“Assisting Mohd Sidek Amzah Enterprise in accommodating the necessary requirements and regulations of its business has definitely been a pleasure. I’m proud of being able to provide him with our contract services for our trustworthy products world-renown for its vehicle optimisation, fuel economy and reduction of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. In his line of business, the constant level of high performance, safety and dependability are imperative at all times,” stated Kana Devananthan, Service Sales Executive, Scania Malaysia.

 

Mohd Sidek also subscribed to Scania’s Maintenance, Fleet Management System (FMS), and Scania Ecolution for the Scania truck that they operate. He also signed a Scania Repair and Maintenance, FMS and Scania Ecolution contracts for the New Truck Generation.

 

“All these after-sales services are designed to ensure smooth and hassle-free operations of my Scania trucks, keeping it on the road almost all the time. Since I am always on the move doing marketing, I monitor the trucks and drivers’ performance with my handphone and one of my dedicated staff will also monitor the same through her desktop. All in all, the after-sales services contracts are worth the investment as they work in sync in support of one another and have proven to reduce my cost of operation,” said Mohd Sidek.

 

The New Truck Generation Delivers

 

Seeing that his investment in the Scania truck is paying off, Mohd Sidek secured another Scania New Truck Generation G360A4X2NA that was delivered on 15 June, 2020. He was truly happy after taking this truck for its maiden trip to transport the LPG cylinders, to and from Pasir Gudang.

 

“It drives like a dream with a cabin that will put other brands to shame. Fully adjustable seat placed close to the door and ergonomic dashboard with touchscreen and a large windscreen with extended view giving clear visibility from different angles. The truck itself is more enhanced and very powerful. Safety features such as the improved response from the braking system is also a plus point for Scania’s New Truck Generation. Everything has been designed for the comfort and safety of the drivers,” stated Mohd Sidek with a big grin.

 

The New Truck Generation is equipped with advanced powertrain and aerodynamic solutions that consume an average of 3 percent less fuel. So, better savings in fuel costs with less Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission. Other features of the New Truck Generation include new chassis design, extended storage options, and enhanced safety features such as the award-winning rollover side curtain airbags, which is a first in Malaysia.

“Scania Ecolution is important to us because as a relatively small player in the market, we are still able to be competitive with the bigger boys partly due to the cost savings from lower fuel consumption. And more importantly, Scania Ecolution helps us to reduce our carbon footprint which means we are able to reduce our impact to the environment.”

The Ecolution Way of Working

 

“Ecolution works! Sidek Amzah has joined us on a journey. They now see the value of a close partnership with us. To make sure their fleet of Scania vehicles keep running efficiently and without disruptions, they now subscribe to our comprehensive R&M package. They get the full benefit of the Scania Services portfolio: Maintenance with Flexible plans, FMS Control package, Scania Assistance, Scania original spare parts, Fleet Care and more. Sidek Amzah will see improved uptime of their Scania fleet and reduced operational cost. This is just the start,” said Thor Brenden, Services Director, Scania Southeast Asia.

 

Mohd Sidek will continue the Ecolution partnership to further reduce operational cost and carbon emissions, while exploring further improvements. Improvements that can only be identified and implemented when Scania work together with their customers.

 

Given that the truck travels 26 days in a month, Mohd Sidek had to ensure that the wellbeing of the environment is also taken into consideration. The company became one of the few logistics company in Johor to sign up for Scania Ecolution as part of its greener footprint and has since noticed a minimum of 5% savings in terms of the truck’s fuel consumption and reduction of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. To date, Mohd Sidek Amzah Enterprise has reduced its Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emission by 1,230 kg which is equivalent to planting approximately 55 trees that has been flourishing for the past one year.

 

“Scania Ecolution is important to us because as a relatively small player in the market, we are still able to be competitive with the bigger boys partly due to the cost savings from lower fuel consumption. And more importantly, Scania Ecolution helps us to reduce our carbon footprint which means we are able to reduce our impact to the environment,” stated Mohd Sidek.

 

“Mohd Sidek like most operators in the transportation business are prudent but our approach via Ecolution gave him the belief that we are sincere in helping him reach the sustainability level in his business. Fast forward to today, Mohd Sidek was so impressed with our way of working and now really believed that we are a Total Solutions provider/partner and that we stand by our commitment,” said Daniel Tan, Sales Director, Scania Southeast Asia.

 

The Bright and Green Future

 

Mohd Sidek always believe that building a business based on trust fortifies it and mutually beneficial for all parties involved. In a few short years Scania has been able to impress upon him as a trustworthy company and delivers everything that was promised.

 

“In the beginning, I did not really understand what Scania Ecolution was but kept my faith in Scania based on the after-sales services that had benefitted me all along. With the guidance of the Scania’s Executives I began to understand that every calculated motion that Scania make with all the after-sales services contract that I subscribed to will be to increase my profitability via fuel economy, lowering my cost of operations and reduction of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions into the environment. Hence, the more uptime from my Scania trucks, the more successful my business becomes,” exclaimed Mohd Sidek

 

“Great news that one of our good customers, Mohd Sidek Amzah, recognize the value in the partnership we have established through our products and services in general over the years and our Ecolution partnership in particular. Together we can achieve greater profitability for the operator as well as a sustainability win for everyone. With these confirmations of the service agreements, we will continue to support in the best way and reinforce our partnership,” stated Anders Liss, Region Manager-South & Country Manager-Singapore, Scania Southeast Asia.

 

And with the recent promotion of Amzah Mohd Trading to a stockist, Mohd Sidek Amzah Enterprise has been promoted from a sub-distributor to a full blown exclusive distributorship for Petronas LPG for, Senai, Skudai and Kulai. I am working very hard to increase the sales of the LPG and looking to secure more trips for my Scania trucks with the hope of adding more New Truck Generation for my LPG distributorship. And I am very happy with Scania’s commitment and the Scania Ecolution way of working that will undoubtedly act as a catalyst towards the rapid growth of my company,” concluded Mohd Sidek Amzah.

"Assisting Mohd Sidek Amzah Enterprise in accommodating the necessary requirements and regulations of its business has definitely been a pleasure. I’m proud of being able to provide him with our contract services for our trustworthy products world-renown for its vehicle optimisation, fuel economy and reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
