SHAH ALAM: Scania Malaysia has handed over the first Scania Smart and Safe coach to Gopi Travel Tours Sdn Bhd.
The bus features a connected driving experience and the latest in safety technology.
Gopi Travel Tours Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Gopinathan received the key to the coach from Scania Southeast Asia presales and logistics director Johan Clason.
“With the Scania Smart and Safe coach, we can achieve seamless integration of touchpoints within the Scania Digital Ecosystem, providing valuable insights to both our drivers and fleet managers. These insights help increase uptime through the latest digital interface that enables fast and remote diagnostics,” said Gopinathan.
Alongside this seamless integration, the new high-performance computing platform, a faster 4G and 5G-ready telematics unit, and sensor platforms enable vehicle data collection.
This data is transformed into tailored insights and services that help optimise uptime, boost profitability, and support a data-driven approach to fleet management.
“Scania’s suite of Digital Services plays a vital role in helping customers enhance their business sustainability and profitability. With the Scania Smart and Safe coach, Gopi Travel Tours gain access to vital data from their vehicle through the Fleet Management System Monitoring Package. This includes fuel consumption, vehicle usage, and carbon emissions which can be monitored via the My Scania portal," said Scania Southeast Asia sales manager for bus and coach Nurulain Sulaiman.
"This information allows Gopi Travel Tours to identify opportunities for vehicle usage improvements. Their drivers can also gain access to the My Scania ecosystem through the Scania Driver app, which digitalises routine tasks such as performing pre-departure checks, reporting defects, and obtaining vital vehicle information, all at their fingertips,” added Nurulain.
Scania’s Smart and Safe coaches continue to include standard safety features such as Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Electronic Braking System (EBS) with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), and Traction Control.
It is also designed to meet current and upcoming safety and cybersecurity regulations.
