Scania Ecolution Solution helps reduce carbon footprint

By CARSIFU | 18 January 2023


PENANG: Scania and Mun Loon Paper Converting Sdn Bhd (Mun Loon) have signed an Ecolution Agreement for three Scania G360 A4X2NA prime movers with 7 years of Repair & Maintenance and Hire Purchase.

The signing was held at Mun Loon’s printing facility between Scania Southeast Asia solution services director Thor Brenden and Mun Loon executive director Loh Ka Hoong.

The agreement allows Mun Loon to join the ranks of sustainable partners who are taking a step further into reducing their carbon footprint towards a greener future for the environment.

The Fleet Management System Control 10 with the Scania Ecolution partnership gives Mun Loon a lot more of both information and insights.

From core necessities like real time positioning of the Scania G360 via vehicle performance, environmental reports, service planning and defect reporting all the way to driver evaluation which will help Mun Loon to quickly identify potential vehicle usage improvements.

This will help reduce wear and tear caused by harsh braking, idling time, speeding, while increasing coasting resulting in the ultimate reduction of fuel consumption and reduction of CO2.

The R&M contract that was signed will give Mun Loon worry-free operation due to predictable costs for seven years.

Mun Loon will be able to focus on its business by fully utilising the Scania G360 with planned downtime giving maximum uptime due to precise scheduling for repairs and maintenance with
readily available parts, eliminating disruptions in its daily operations.

Safety comes standard with the Scania G360 that are fitted with technologically advanced Electronic Braking System (EBS) and Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and are also complemented with the Daytime Running Light (DRL) for better visibility for surrounding vehicles when on the road.

The adjustable seat that is close to the door, ergonomic dashboard, and large windscreen with extended view make it easier for the driver to operate in a safe and comfortable environment.

The Scania G360s are backed by Scania Credit’s Hire Purchase that give Mun Loon a comprehensive logistical solution for a total peace-of-mind.

Loh said jobs are increasing since the company got the Scania G360s and the increased frequency had enabled a quicker return in investment.

“The fit-for-purpose solution of these Scania trucks help me find the perfect balance of uptime,
payload and fuel efficiency for my long-haul cargo deliveries all along the route from Bukit Kayu Hitam to Johor Baru.

“Moving forward, I am glad that we also signed the Scania Ecolution agreement and take responsibility in doing whatever we can as transport operators to reduce our carbon footprint and save our environment,” Loh said.

Brenden said Mun Loon would escalate its sustainability practices which would increase its profit-taking figures even more with the Scania Ecolution Agreement.

“Hence, the plan to set up a support facility in Port Klang backed by more Scania trucks is a viable one, especially with full support from Scania’s aftersales services.

“We look forward to a strong sustainable partnership with Mun Loon now and into the future,” he said.
