Bukit Kayu Hitam, Kedah, 20 February – Sin Hock Soon Group continues to strengthen its position in the logistics industry by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Scania for an additional 40 units of Scania Super.

“I would like to congratulate Sin Hock Soon Group for being at the forefront of driving the shift towards a sustainable transport system. The Scania Super will continue to enhance profitability and sustainability for their business and customers. Additionally, safety remains a priority, as the Super now comes standard with Side Curtain Airbags and a Steering Wheel Airbag, alongside safety features like Electronic Brake System (EBS) with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control, to ensure the safety of their drivers and other road users,” says Mr Gary Chin.

Digital Services are essential for customers to maximise profitability. With the recent addition of Scania Super, Sin Hock Soon Group will gain access to a suite of Scania Digital Services, including a 3-Year Fleet Management System Control Package.
