First longest Scania K410EB6X2 double-deck coach in Malaysia

Konsortium E-Mutiara Berhad (E-Mutiara) expands its fleet with 20 units of the first longest Scania K410EB6X2 double-deck coach in Malaysia at 13.5 metre length. The launch ceremony was witnessed by Guests-of-Honour YB Tuan Anthony Loke Siew Fook, Minister of Transport Malaysia (MOT) and Mr Robert Lejon, Deputy Head of Mission Embassy of Sweden. Ms Heba Eltarifi, Managing Director of Scania Southeast Asia handed over the coaches to Che Ibrahim Che Ismail (Pak Nik), Executive Chairman of E-Mutiara.

E-Mutiara also operates the first Scania 14.7 metre single-deck coaches in Malaysia. Upon approval from MOT, the body was built by Marcopolo on top of the Scania chassis and E-Mutiara continues to enjoy the enhanced passenger capacity and fuel-efficiency from the aerodynamics.

The Scania 13.5 metre double-deck coaches offer a 10% increase in capacity compared to other luxury coaches in Malaysia resulting in improved operating economy. The energy-efficient powertrains with Opticruise in Eco-mode coupled with Scania fleet management services and maintenance services can make a massive difference - up to 15% improvement in fuel economy.

The front and rear air-suspension provides a comfortable driver and passenger experience. Like all Scania vehicles, EBS with ABS and traction control comes standard, coupled with Retarder as additional braking, taking the wear and tear out of the disc brake pads. The hill hold keeps the coaches on steep stops while the speed limiter helps to maintain a safe drive. The 360-degree cameras give all-round visibilities eliminating blind spots, with a 3-fire alarm system activated during emergencies.
