The total KEMB fleet of 69 units carries 2 brands of coaches: The E-Mutiara Premier brand and the Musafir Economy brand, catering to different set of target passengers. A further 18 units of Scania's coaches will be delivered making KEMB one of Scania Malaysia's most enterprising customers.
As part of KEMB’s sustainability development, the company had adopted Scania’s business philosophy of sustainability and recorded successes year after year. To attest to KEMB’s commitment to the Scania Ecolution agreement, it has managed to significantly lower fuel consumption of its fleet and reduced CO2 emissions by 2,358,338 kg. that is equivalent to the planting of approximately 35,375 trees from day one up till present day of the Scania Ecolution partnership. The combination of a technologically efficient coach as well as having drivers with proper training has allowed such savings. And it also showed when KEMB's drivers took part in the 'A Good Driver' competition.
“Getting the drivers to improve their driving behaviour was key to getting them on the right path towards the win. KEMB tracked their movements and ways of driving via the Scania Fleet Management System Control 10 and used the data to clearly show them the areas that can be improved upon. And with the Scania training and coaching services they were advised to reduce idling, speeding and harsh braking and increase coasting when they are at the wheel. Realising that they are consistently saving fuel and reducing CO2 emissions on their run motivated them to go for the win by changing their set ways of driving.” said Che Ibrahim Che Ismail, Executive Chairman of KEMB.
Scania is committed towards minimising emissions from its products and its own operations. These include cutting CO2 emissions by 20 percent from its land transport per transported tonne by 2025 (using 2015 as a baseline), and 50 percent from its own operation. As an Ecolution partner with Scania, the good company and the driving is part of the journey towards achieving the reduction of CO2 emissions in line with Scania’s Science Based Target of the
Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) drawn at the Paris Agreement in 2015.
‘A Good Driver’ (AGD) is a truck or coach and bus driver from ’A Good Company’. The drivers automatically qualify as long as they are part of the Scania Ecolution partnerships and drive the specific vehicles under the programme. The vehicles they drive are marked with a Scania Ecolution sticker plus a t-shirt with AGD Qualifier Badge.
To win, a good driver’s driving must result in the best percentage of km/l improvement throughout the duration. This can be tracked using Scania Fleet Management System. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will then be crowned with a certificate and a host of attractive Scania premium prizes. The best that drives consistently in a safe, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly way will get the Champion Jacket with AGD Champion Badge. Corresponding companies to the winners get service vouchers worth MYR5,000/3,000/1,000 respectively.
“Congratulations to KEMB as ‘A Good Company’ for being the best winner in this competition. Its unwavering commitment in the Scania Ecolution partnership will not only produce top-class drivers that saves fuel but also reduce CO2 emissions for the environment and future generation,” stated Thor Brenden, Service Sales and Operations Director, Scania Southeast Asia.
