Scania completed delivery of the first 13 units of Scania New Truck Generation (NTG) to CJ Century Logistics Holdings Berhad (CJ Century).
These units were subscribed to the Fleet Management System (FMS) Control 10 which paved the way towards a major Scania Science Based Target activity – the Scania Ecolution Partnership Agreement. This
sustainability objective is in line with the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi) set at the Paris Agreement in 2015.
Scania Ecolution signifies CJ Century’s commitment in reducing its carbon footprint beginning with the 13 NTGs. This addition to the 84-strong Scania Prime Movers will further extend CJ Century’s reach to capture a bigger market share in the logistics industry for its shareholders.
Scania Ecolution is a tailor-made partnership between Scania and CJ Century that focuses on reducing fuel consumption resulting in reduced Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. The partnership also works on reducing operating cost translating to improved profitability while fulfilling the growing demand
for environmental-friendly initiatives.
The delivered Scania G410A6x2NZ NTG models feature Scania’s new Opticruise gearbox, available for the high-output 13-litre engines, features improved and speedy gear shifting in combination with better fuel consumption and excellent comfort.
To be even more fuel efficient, these NTGs can be pre-set with economy mode on default in any of Scania’s workshops nationwide. Other standard key benefits are Electronic Braking System, ergonomic cabin with easy-to-use controls, driver seat close to the door and large windscreen with extended view making it easier for the drivers to operate in a comfortable and safe environment. These NTGs will join the existing fleet of Scania in CJ Century and are dedicated to the haulage division.
All 13 NTGs are customised with the flexible financial solutions from Scania Financial Services which gives predictable cost over the vehicles’ lifecycle.
“We are pleased that CJ Century is joining Scania in our Ecolution initiative to reduce the CO2 emission and its impact to the climate change. As a public-listed company, CJ Century is setting a good example by being a responsible corporate citizen in playing its part in caring for the environment, while increasing its profitability as well.
