These vehicles are also FAME-prepared up to B100 as standard to help reduce CO2 emissions of up to 80% while supporting the national economy and customers’ ESG goals. This customer launch and test & drive’ event was held at Bandar Malaysia to overwhelming endorsements from customers.

 

“Scania continues to drive the shift towards a more sustainable and profitable transport system by offering the best and latest technology. The Super and New Bus Generation together with a wide range of new digital solutions set yet another milestone for the industry,” said Joyce Antar, Managing Director of Scania Southeast Asia.

 

The Scania Super truck introduces its most advanced & efficient combustion-engine powertrain that sets a new standard for fuel efficient transport operations and delivers an unprecedented fuel savings of up to 8% and more. The Scania Super 13-litre engine is supremely robust for more uptime, for increased operational life by 30% and for extended power range of up to 550hp. It also introduces industry leading engine brake thermal efficiency levels of 50%, which is unique in the heavy truck industry. Designed according to Scania’s low-rev philosophy it also delivers a smoother drive at peak engine torque from 900 rpm. The gearbox of the Scania Super offers a wider gear ratio spread for faster and smoother gear changes that gives more driver comfort and control while also introducing the most versatile and robust chassis yet for more tailor-made applications and operations. The new Side Curtain Airbags and Steering Wheel Airbag now comes standard with the Super in addition to Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake System (EBS) and Traction Control (TC).

 

The new bus generation of Scania can save up to 9 % in fuel and emissions, without compromising on performance and drivability. The most significant savings coming from enhanced engine efficiency and improved cruise control with active prediction. Beyond the powertrain, driving style is another major factor that affects fuel consumption. Our driver services typically reduce fuel commission and emissions further. Combined with the excellent drivability of Scania coaches, advanced driver assistance systems, and top-quality maintenance services, you can achieve even greater savings. The NBG is built to offer enhanced safety for both drivers and passengers through reinforced chassis construction along with the latest addition of Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to its standard safety systems that already includes EBS with ABS and TC. Developed with driver and passenger environment in mind, the driver area of the NBG offers the best possible work environment in terms of ergonomics, reachability, and excellent visibility while a comfortable passenger experience is achieved through a forgiving suspension and an efficient gearbox with smooth transmission. Additionally, the efficient climate system  and low noise environment of the NBG further improves passenger comfort.

 

Amongst the wide range of digital solutions from Scania, the Scania Driver App was also launched during the event. It is the driver's main contact point into the My Scania digital ecosystem – with the drivers’ perspectives and features in focus, integrated with all of the relevant services of the fleet. By streamlining the drivers’ administrative tasks with a digital tool, it also benefits the fleet management by simplifying workflows, storage of checklists and defect report handling.

 

”The driver is the single most important asset of the transport system. The launch of Driver App will put the power of data in the hands of drivers of Scania trucks and buses. Drivers, partnering with Operators, are in better control of their driving towards a more fuel-efficient, safer and environmentally-friendly drive,” said Joyce.
