Scania Malaysia held a small handing over ceremony to mark the handing over of new Scania prime movers to first time customer AONE Logistics Sdn. Bhd. (AONE) at the Scania Malaysia headquarters in Shah Alam. The transport company recently acquired additional units to facilitate the expansion of its trucking and haulage requirements. The keys were presented by Scania Southeast Asia Managing Director Marie Sjödin Enström to AONE Managing Director, S. Palani.
The Prime Mover trucks purchased by AONE are the Scania G-Series trucks. 15 trucks were purchased with nine being the Scania G360LA4x2MNA, five Scania G410LA6x2MSZ and one Scania G460LA6x2MSZ. From the model numbers you can tell that the G360 has 360hp, G410 with 410hp and G460 being the most powerful with 460hp at least. Anyway, all of which offer the performance required and increased fuel savings that can help attain the best profitability during long-haul operations, making them suitable for the company’s services. Which, aside from the brand is the main reasons transporters opt for a prime mover like these.
Aside from that, it is also the total package involved and this includes financing. The acquisition was made on hire purchase terms facilitated by Scania’s financial services provider – Scania Credit Malaysia which was focused on giving its customers tailored and sustainable financial packages that best suit their business needs.
The trucks will also be insured by Scania Credit Malaysia, which offers Scania customers peace of mind with benefits that minimise financial loss and handling of damages while optimising uptime including an accelerated claims process, special waiver on loading rate of up to five years and excess rate for vehicles sent to Scania
workshops.
Finally, as part of the total package arrangement, which is something most transporters will find extremely convenient is that AONE’s purchase comes with a comprehensive after sales service package. This includes the standard package of two-year free Scania Maintenance; two-year free 24/7 Scania Assistance and a ten-year free Control 10 Fleet Management System (FMS) that digitally enables them to monitor the performance of its drivers as frequent as every ten minutes via real time updates.
To ensure smooth productive deliveries, AONE also signed a seven-year Repair and Maintenance (R&M) Contract, as well as Scania Fleet Care, covering scheduled maintenance of the vehicles and breakdown assistance.
Note that what this means is that everything is basically done through Scania Malaysia's various business divisions from the initial sale, the financing, insurance and aftersales. This is aside from the fact that AONE believes in the performance, reliability, fuel efficiency and safety of the Scania Prime Movers.
“As a logistics company, it is crucial that we provide good end-to-end service with minimal downtime to our customers and I believe Scania can help to ensure that we do so with the attractive total solutions package it offers, as well as its systematic way of managing fleets,” said AONE Managing Director, S. Palani on the reason of choosing Scania.
“For Scania, today’s handover is a reflection of the Company’s on-going commitment to the quality, safety and performance of our vehicles and we are indeed very happy that AONE Logistics has placed their trust in Scania for the best profitability and sustainability of their business,” said Scania Southeast Asia Managing Director Marie Sjödin Enström as regards their latest customer purchase.
