This is some impressive news. Again, in a period where people say that economic growth is slow we see some eye opening news. Transport company, Teo Tuan Kwee Sdn Bhd (TTK) has opted to buy another 50 Scania trucks to join the existing 182 Scania trucks it already owns. 26 units of this latest batch of prime movers were handed over earlier today and it definitely is one of the largest sales for high-end trucks for 2017.
Operating a predominantly Scania fleet, TTK specialises in services such as palm oil tanker transportation, bonded lorry tankers, cargo transportation and container haulage and this is one of the largest ever orders in Malaysia from the Swedish company. With this latest acquisition, which was facilitated by Scania Credit, makes TTK the first company in the southern region to acquire the Scania G-series trucks. These trucks will be used for its long-haul operations.
TTK’s new trucks also come with the two-year free Scania Maintenance package, two years of free 24/7 Scania Assistance and a ten-year free Fleet Management System (FMS).
Of course, the reason for TTK purchasing these trucks boils down to familiarity of operating the vehicles as well as their relationship with Scania. The overall sales package is also suitable for them as is the reliability and the high uptime of the trucks - an important criteria for long haul trucks.

Kwee Sdn Bhd (TTK) knows what works best so it says a lot when the company has
opted to buy another 50 Scania trucks to join the existing 182 Scania trucks it already
owns.
Operating a predominantly Scania fleet, TTK specialises in services such as palm oil
tanker transportation, bonded lorry tankers, cargo transportation and container
haulage and this is one of the largest ever orders in Malaysia from the Swedish
company.
“The vision is for TTK to become an outstanding and reputable logistics company in
Malaysia and Singapore in next 5 years,” said TTK director Teo Chee Ben (张志敏) in
Johor Bahru when receiving the latest batch comprising 26 units of the Scania
G410LA6x2MSZ truck.
Teo said the Johor based company selected its trucks based on the criteria of quality
and high uptime, adding that the decision to buy more Scania trucks was also
because of the good maintenance service provided.
With its latest acquisition – facilitated by Scania Credit – TTK is also the first
company in the southern region to acquire the Scania G-series trucks, which it will be
using for its long-haul operations.
The hardworking G-series can be configured to suit a huge range of applications –
from long-haulage and distribution to the toughest off-road jobs – while providing
powerful performance, fuel economy and safety.
“We are proud to be a partner of TTK for its long-haul operations and for the long
haul. It is investing in the total operating economy that Scania offers to create the
best profitability for our customers,” said Managing Director, Scania Southeast Asia,
Marie Sjödin Enström.
“This is achieved through Scania’s sustainable transport solutions,” added Marie.
TTK’s new trucks also come with the two-year free Scania Maintenance package,
two years of free 24/7 Scania Assistance and a ten-year free Fleet Management
System (FMS).
The FMS is activated via a communicator that comes standard with the Scania trucks
enables operators to achieve up to 10% fuel economy, collecting data on board
Scania trucks that provides valuable insight, tracking and diagnostics into the driver
and vehicle behaviour. This can bring significant benefits in increased uptime,
improved safety and reduced operating costs; especially if coupled with Scania
Driver Training and Scania Driver Coaching.
Just minor adjustments to an experienced driver's habits can result in fuel savings of
up to 10% with the information acquired while keeping a constant speed can
significantly improve fuel economy and reduce maintenance costs. Scania's smart
data collection makes this quick and easy.
