Scania to deliver 360 city buses to Malaysia

Scania will deliver 360 city buses to the state-owned company Syarikat Prasarana
Negara Berhad (Prasarana). The buses will operate in the city of Kuantan and in
the capital Kuala Lumpur.
“Scania buses and coaches are renowned for their fuel economy, reliability,
safety and comfort. Each component is engineered to heighten the performance of
the vehicle. With our new engine platform, Scania buses are now capable of
higher torques at lower revs and even lower fuel consumption. Each model can
also be customised in terms of passenger capacity, seating plans, comfort levels
and other key criteria as required,” says James Armstrong, Managing Director of
ScaniaMalaysia.

The Scania city bus model – Scania K 250 UB4x2 – is configured with a low-floor
chassis and safety features such as handicap access capability for all
passengers. It is equipped with a ramp for full wheelchair access and two
docking slots with seatbelts for safe wheelchair anchorage. The body is made of
aluminium to reduce weight and fuel consumption, as well as to extend vehicle
life.
