Infinity Logistics & Transport Use Scania Maintenance Contract To Maximise Potential Of 60 New Trucks

Infinity Logistics & Transport Sdn Bhd has taken delivery of 60 units of Scania New Truck Generation (NTG) to facilitate its expansion plans with sustainable transport solutions. Taking delivery of the trucks from Daniel Tan, Sales Director of Scania Southeast Asia was Dato’ Chan Kong Yew, Chief Executive Officer of Infinity.

Having these NTG units financed by Scania Financial Services also provides flexible financing solutions tailored to give Infinity predictable costs and manageable risks – over the entire lifecycle of the NTGs” stated Daniel Tan. “This goes in line with Scania’s mission to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system through sustainable partnerships, creating a world of mobility that is better for business, society and the environment.”

The Scania NTG is designed and engineered to give Scania truck owners better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions as it is equipped with advanced powertrain and aerodynamic solutions. The trucks give more than 3% savings on fuel economy when coupled with Scania Contracted Services and Data-driven Services from Scania. Furthermore, the Opticruise gearbox gives the Scania NTG a pre-set default Economy mode for even more fuel efficiency.

Most importantly the large windscreen with extended view gives good visibility from the different angles for the drivers, making it easier for them to operate in a comfortable and safe environment. Other safety features include the Electronic Braking System (EBS) for responsive emergency braking.

Infinity also subscribed to the Scania Maintenance programme. Scania’s maintenance procedures are proactive to avoid time-consuming and costly problems from occurring. This helps to maximise uptime and lower Infinity’s operating costs at the same time. With the Scania Maintenance Contract, costs become more predictable and this enables Infinity to focus its resources on improving its business instead. By individually optimising the different modules in its service plan, Scania ensures via the maintenance contract that downtime is planned and only occurs when absolutely necessary.

“We are in this business to ensure profits to all our shareholders, but we also need to take care of the environment that we live in. Thus, we have embarked on a mission more than a decade ago to be socially responsible with an aim of sustainable development of the society and environment and we have gradually evolved our CSR efforts since then. From being just a contributor, we have now become an initiator striving to sustain our efforts. To us, sustainability means balancing economic, environmental and social needs to find the best solutions which are essential to ensure a more sustainable future,” said Dato’ Chan.
