Scania Economy Mode

Scania Malaysia today announced that all of the brand’s new trucks and coaches will drive in Economy Mode as default to meet the targets of Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and achieve better profitability.

The Economy Mode is now a pre-set default for all new Scania trucks and coaches with Opticruise starting from 2021, in order to ensure that customers enjoy the best fuel economy and CO2 emission reductions, in line with Science Based Targets initiatives (SBTi).

Scania customers with trucks or coaches purchased before 2021 can also set the Economy Mode as default on their vehicles at any authorised Scania workshop nationwide.

It is said that labour charges are applicable, but it will be complimentary up to 31st of December 2022. So, customers are encouraged to send in their trucks or coaches now to take advantage of this complimentary offer.

The Economy Mode is one of the many initiatives in line with Scania’s aim to achieve the science-based targets of SBTi by 2025 – reducing carbon footprint in Scania’s operations by 50 per cent and Scania’s customers vehicles by 20 per cent.

“Scania trucks and coaches will start with Economy Mode each time the vehicles are switched on regardless of the last mode they were switched off with. This ensures the best fuel-efficient drive at most times,” said Tom Kuiphuis, Business Support Director, Scania Southeast Asia.

“Drivers can still switch from Economy Mode to other performance modes depending on the requirement of the driving conditions.”
