EUROCHAM Malaysia is proud to highlight an automotive spotlight for our fellow member, Scania, as they continue to integrate sustainable digital solutions in the logistics sector.
Scania, a global leader in sustainable transport solutions, continues to reinforce its commitment to a greener future through its Ecolution partnership, supported by Scania Digital Services. By integrating digital solutions with targeted sustainability initiatives, Scania is enabling fleet operators to enhance safety, improve fuel efficiency, and significantly reduce environmental impact.
Scania introduced the Ecolution partnership in Malaysia in 2018. It is a tailor-made partnership between Scania and its customers, with the sole purpose to maximise their fleet’s fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, all to meet customers’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) requirements. This goal is achieved and maintained long-term through ongoing driver training, digital coaching, and vehicle and fleet optimisation. Since its inception, Scania Ecolution has reduced 4,804 metric tonnes of CO2, which is equivalent to planting 72,058 trees.
Customers in the Ecolution partnership will also be a part of ‘A Good Company’ Competition and their drivers will be part of “A Good Driver’ Competition to reduce even more carbon emissions. Customers will operate their Scania vehicles with the most significant CO2 reductions and make a positive impact on the environment while claiming their place as an industry leader.
“We were able to achieve the best average km/l improvement of 543% throughout 2023 when compared to our result in 2022. I’m glad that the Scania Ecolution partnership has significantly lowered my company’s fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions by 70,765kg in that period which contributed a lot in helping us work towards meeting our ESG goals and increase profitability,” says Loh Ka Hoong, Director of Mun Loon Paper Converting Sdn Bhd who were the Champion of Scania’s Ecolution ‘A Good Company’ Competition 2023 for truck category.
Iskandar Salleh, Managing Director of Sani Express Sdn Bhd who were the Champion of Scania’s Ecolution ‘A Good Company’ Competition 2023 for bus and coach category added, “Through Scania’s Ecolution partnership, we were able to achieve the best average km/l improvement of 201% and reduced CO2 emissions by 101,292kg during 2023 as compared to 2022. Becoming the champion of this competition is one thing but knowing that our business was able to positively impact the environment really means a lot.”
