NOVAAIR INDUSTRIAL GASES IS THE FIRST IN MALAYSIA TO OPERATE SCANIA SUPER FOR BULK ADR TRANSPORT EQUIPPED WITH ADAS
Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam, 21 October – NovaAir Industrial Gases Sdn Bhd has pioneered a new standard in Malaysia by becoming the first to deploy Scania Super trucks for Bulk ADR Transport, equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
While receiving the keys to the trucks, Charlene Quek, Managing Director of NovaAir Industrial Gases Sdn Bhd, said: “We’re honoured to be the first to operate the Scania Super trucks for bulk ADR transport, which meets ADR safety standards and features Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Vulnerable Road User Collision Warning – Side (VRUCW-S), Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), and side curtain airbags. These advanced safety features not only make our deliveries safer and more secure, but also reinforce our commitment to protecting lives, reducing operational risks. Setting new standards in sustainable transportation system, these trucks are Euro 5 with low carbon emission.”
Complementing its safety features, the Scania Super P420A6X2NA chassis also meets Flammable Liquide (FL) vehicle type requirements. It includes a speed limiter, exhaust heat cover, instrument panel controls, hill hold, and an insulated ADR electrical system. Additionally, the truck is equipped with an electric on/off button for the battery master switch on both the panel and chassis, featuring a two-step safety activation process that disconnects power to the vehicle—except for the alarm system.
Beyond safety and compliance, the Scania Super trucks are engineered for fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability. Their advanced powertrain and aerodynamic design help reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 8%. The air suspension also provides excellent comfort for their driver, reducing driver fatigue. Combined with the Electronic Level Control function, the vehicle’s height can be adjusted to facilitate loading and unloading at bays, handling a swap body, or connecting a tanker.
“Operating a Bulk ADR Transport vehicle requires a reliable system to monitor performance and provide the driver with real-time guidance. Through Scania’s Repair and Maintenance Contract, NovaAir Industrial Gases will gain access to the full suite of Scania Digital Services. With Scania Fleet Management System Control Package, NovaAir Industrial Gases will receive valuable insights into their vehicles, including real-time positioning, vehicle performance, CO₂ emissions, service planning, defect reporting, and driver evaluation. These insights enable them to identify opportunities for improvement,” stated Phang.
Drivers at NovaAir Industrial Gases will also benefit from the Scania Driver app, which allows them to perform pre-departure checks, track driving time and performance, view service bookings, and locate the nearest Scania workshop. They can also improve their fuel efficiency with Scania ProDriver, a digital coaching service designed to help cultivate fuel-efficient driving habits.
“The Scania Super trucks will be maintained by Scania’s trained workshop crews, ensuring maximum uptime for NovaAir Industrial Gases. They will also have access to 14 workshops across Malaysia and Singapore together with 24/7 Scania Assistance,” added Ahmad Azim Abas, Services Sales Executive of Scania Malaysia.
