Starrtrek invested in Scania New Truck Generation to be part of its visionary move to be the premium transporter of cars and SUVs, especially Supercars.
Starrtrek Choose Scania Prime Movers as Part of Its Visionary Move
Scania delivered a G360A4x2EB New Truck Generation (NTG) with full air-suspension – the first in Malaysia to transport supercars – Starrtrek Carriers Sdn Bhd. Datuk Kumar Prabakaran, Managing Director of Starrtrek, also invested in six G360A4x2NA prime movers and signed up for the Fleet Management System (FMS) Control 1 and Maintenance Contract along with Scania Financial Services, including Insurance.
The Scania G360A4x2EB (one unit) and G360A4x2NA (six units) NTGs that were delivered are the first choice for fuel efficiency, increased payload and improved productivity for long distance trips throughout Peninsular Malaysia. The Scania prime movers are fitted with the Fleet Management System (FMS) Control 1; this enables Starrtrek to monitor the progress of its drivers and ensure that the agreed targets of km/litre are met. The FMS also presents an opportunity for Starrtrek to sign the Scania Ecolution partnership agreement with which a more structured approach to fuel savings, that leads to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, could be applied. This is in support of Starrtrek’s intention to reduce its operation’s impact on the environment.
The NTGs ensure a cost-effective investment as these prime movers are designed and engineered to give Scania truck owners better fuel efficiency, being equipped with advanced powertrain and aerodynamic solutions. The standard gain is more than 3 per cent fuel economy. When coupled with the Fleet Management System Control 1, more fuel savings could be achieved. Furthermore, the Opticruise gearbox gives the Scania NTGs a pre-set default Economy mode to further boost fuel savings. The Scania NTGs are also Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) prepared, ready for biodiesel up to B100 usage, to care for the environment by reducing global emissions.
Scania’s Maintenance Contract provides predictable costs so that Starrtrek could focus time and energy on its core business, worry-free. By individually optimising the different modules in its service plan, Scania ensures via the Maintenance Contract that downtime is planned and only occurs when absolutely necessary.
These Scania NTGs provide a very comfortable adjustable driver seat that is placed closer to the door and an ergonomic dashboard with 5-inch touchscreen that works very well for the driver. More importantly, the large windscreen with extended view that provides clear visibility from different angles for drivers makes it easier for them to operate in a comfortable and safe environment. Other safety features include the Electronic Braking System (EBS) for effective emergency braking.
Engineered with versatility in mind and being able to safely transport special cars with minimal handling and maximum safety, one of the seven carriers is an enclosed luxury unit to maintain confidentiality of the cars transported. This is to cater to the buoyant supercar market that is steadily growing. The strength of the remaining six carriers lies in its loading capacity (up to 10 units), simplicity of use and adaptation to extreme road and climate conditions. With ‘unbeatable lightness yet strengthened with a high-resistance chassis’, these prime movers are said to guarantee a high loading volume for all types of cars, with quick and simple loading operations.
“Starrtrek is built on the foundation of vast experience and knowledge from years of service in the automotive logistics industry. It is the first automotive logistics company to bring European-made carriers to Malaysia, giving Starrtrek the competitive edge to stay ahead. These carriers are game changers in Malaysia’s automotive logistics market,” said Datuk Kumar.
“We are very pleased that Starrtrek chose Scania prime movers to be part of its visionary move to be the premium transporter of cars and SUVs, especially supercars. The investment that Starrtrek has made to secure the technologically advanced NTGs would bring long-term profitability to the company,” stated Heba El Tarifi, Managing Director, Scania Southeast Asia.
Starrtrek收到斯堪尼亚在大马的首台全空气悬架NTG
斯堪尼亚将配备全空气悬架的全新一代卡车（NTG）G360A4x2EB交付给 Starrtrek Carriers 私人有限公司 – 这是马来西亚第一辆运输超级跑车的车型。 Starrtrek 董事经理拿督古玛（ Kumar Prabakaran） 还投资了6辆 G360A4x2NA 牵引车，并签订车队管理系统 (FMS) 控制1 和保养合约及斯堪尼亚融资服务，包括保险。
所交付的斯堪尼亚G360A4x2EB（1 辆）和 G360A4x2NA（6 辆）NTG是寻求节油、提升有效载荷和生产力的长途运输业者的首选。斯堪尼亚牵引车配备车队管理系统 (FMS) Control 1，使Starrtrek 得以监控其驾驶员的进度并确保达到约定的公里/升目标。车队管理系统还为 Starrtrek 提供了签署斯堪尼亚Ecolution合作协议的机会，在该协议下，该公司可采用更结构化的燃料节约方法来减少二氧化碳排放。这也是为了支持Starrtrek 减少其运营对环境的影响。
NTG确保具有成本效益的投资，因为这些牵引车的设计和制造旨在为斯堪尼亚卡车车主提供更好的燃油效率，配备先进的动力系统和空气动力学解决方案，一般可节省超高 3% 的燃油。与车队管理系统控制1一同使用时，可节省更多燃油。此外，Opticruise变速箱为斯堪尼亚 NTG 提供预设的默认节能模式，以进一步节省燃油。斯堪尼亚 NTG 可兼容含脂肪酸甲酯的燃油，可用于B100生物柴油，通过减少全球排放来保护环境。
斯堪尼亚的保养合约提供可预测成本， Starrtrek因此可将时间和精力集中在其核心业务上，完全无后顾之忧。通过单独优化其服务计划中的不同模块，斯堪尼亚的保养合约不仅确保运输车的停机是在计划内的，而且是在绝对必要时才会发生。
斯堪尼亚NTG可调节的驾驶员座椅靠近车门，坐起来非常舒适。它还配备符合人体工程学的仪表板和5寸触摸屏，使用起来非常方便。更重要的是，它那视野开阔的大挡风镜为驾驶员提供了不同角度的清晰视野，使驾驶员能够在舒适安全的环境中更轻松地驾驶。其他的安全功能包括能高效紧急制动的电子制动系统(EBS)。
这些卡车在设计时考虑到了多功能性，并且能够以最少的操作和最大的安全性运输特殊汽车。在7辆运输车之中，有一辆密封式的豪华运输车，以确保运输汽车的机密性。这款车型是为了迎合正在稳步增长的超级跑车市场。其余6辆运输车的优势在于它们的装载能力（最多可运载10辆车），易于使用及可适应极端的道路和气候。据悉，这些牵引车具有“无与伦比的轻巧性和强化的高阻力底盘”，无论运输哪一种类型的汽车都具有高装载量，而且装载操作快速简单。
古玛说：“Starrtrek 建基于汽车物流行业多年服务的丰富经验和知识上。它是第一家将欧洲制造的运输车引进马来西亚的汽车物流公司，而这使 Starrtrek 具有领先的竞争优势。这些运输车改变了马来西亚汽车物流市场的‘游戏’规则。”
