Yesterday marked another remarkable milestone in the history of Dayasakti Travel & Tours Sdn Bhd as they launched their first Scania New Bus Generation and Malaysia’s first Scania Euro V Tourist Bus at Bayuemas Cricket Oval, Klang, Selangor.

Compared to the previous generation, the new generation Scania coaches can reduce fuel consumption and emissions by up to 9%, without compromising on performance. This is achieved through a number of features, with the most significant savings coming from improved engine efficiency. The new Euro 5 engine can save up to 7% depending on engine size and vehicle configuration and usage, while Scania’s enhanced gearbox range and Scania Cruise Control with Active Prediction also contribute to further savings.
The Scania New Bus Generation is also built to offer enhanced safety for both drivers and passengers through reinforced chassis construction along with the latest addition of Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to its standard safety systems that already includes Electronic Braking System (EBS) with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control.
“Scania's goal in driving the shift towards a sustainable transportation system is in line with Dayasakti Travel & Tours’s desire to support Malaysia's sustainable journey. Their first Scania New Bus Generation is also FAME-prepared and capable of running on up to Biodiesel 100 (B100) leading to emission reductions of up to 80%,” stated Shahril.
