Swedish manufacturer Scania has delivered Malaysia’s first Smart and Safe coach to Gopi Travel Tours Sdn Bhd, expanding the company’s connected-vehicle offering in Southeast Asia.
Datuk Gopinathan, Managing Director of Gopi Travel Tours, received the vehicle in Bukit Jelutong. “With the Scania Smart and Safe coach, we can achieve seamless integration of touchpoints within the Scania Digital Ecosystem,” he said.
The model features a new computing platform and a 4G/5G-ready telematics unit that enable remote diagnostics and detailed vehicle data collection. According to Scania, this supports improved uptime and more efficient fleet management.
Nurulain Sulaiman, Sales Manager for Bus & Coach at Scania Southeast Asia, noted that fuel usage, vehicle performance and emissions can be monitored via the Fleet Management System Monitoring Package and the My Scania portal. “This information allows Gopi Travel Tours to identify opportunities for vehicle usage improvements,” she said.
Scania has operated in Malaysia since the 1970s and runs sales, service and digital support operations across the country, with regional parts supply managed from Singapore.
