Roy Chew signs the new Scania coaches to the Ecolution partnership.
Super Nice Express was the first express coach service in the northern region to sign up for the Scania Ecolution partnership back in 2020. Since then, it had registered positive results in fuel savings for its first 14 Scania coaches. As a result, it had decided to expand the Ecolution partnership with Scania with the purchase of another 10 coaches.
Heba officially handed over the coaches to Joshua at the new Scania Malaysia Senai Sales and Services Centre.
The 10 long distance buses are made up of 4 new Scania K360IB4x2 coaches and 6 refurbished pre-owned units (Scania K360IB4x2 – 4 units; Scania K310IB4x2 – 2 units), and are financed by Scania Credit Malaysia.
“Super Nice is one of the key players in the north to spur the express coach market and the passenger transportation industry into an upward momentum leading towards a quicker economic recovery. This momentum is supported by Scania total solutions, leading to better profitability and sustainability for their company,” said Heba El Tarifi, Managing Director, Scania Southeast Asia.
SuperNice Express is the brand name of Express Senibudaya (M) Sdn Bhd, which is a subsidiary of Unimax Group of Companies.
“The fact that we kept our coaches moving within the state through the COVID-19 EMCO kept the express bus sector going and gave our Ecolution partnership with Scania a chance to work; producing positive Ecolution results that motivated us to invest in a further 10 Scania coaches with Scania Ecolution. Scania Ecolution really works in lowering our fuel consumption, increase profitability while reducing our carbon footprint,” commented Joshua Tan, Group Managing Director, Unimax Group.
All 24 Scania coaches operated by Super Nice come with the standard Opticruise gearbox, air suspension, front and rear Electronic Braking System, retarder and a 3-fire alarm sensor. These features have elevated the SuperNice Scania coaches as the first choice for passengers for a comfortable and safe ride, and giving them very good value-for money experience.
Furthermore, with the flexible Scania financing solutions, Super Nice will benefit from having predictable costs over the entire lifecycle of the coaches. Scania Credit is a one-stop provider that is focused on giving its customers tailored and sustainable financial packages that best suit their business needs. Scania Credit also offers insurance solutions to help minimise any financial loss and handling of damages, while optimising vehicle uptime. This will allow Super Nice to leverage on the available credit facilities offered so that it can use its cash for other investments, and maintain a steady cashflow for its operations.
