Scania had on display at MCVE a 15-metre bus and coach chassis from Scania that was shown to the Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi.
The first of its kind in Malaysia, it is part of a long bus field test to introduce buses that are longer than the current 12-metre buses in the country that Scania is working on together with the Ministry of Transport, Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalanraya, Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research and Universiti Teknologi MARA to field-test the feasibility of a more-than-12-metre higher capacity bus or coach chassis on Malaysian roads.
Higher revenue for operators from increased passenger and luggage capacity and lower fuel consumption are the benefits that Malaysian operators can benefit from in order to increase productivity and profitability.
