Scania Commercial Vehicles India, a leading commercial vehicles manufacturer, has won a massive order for multi-axle intercity buses from Siddhi Vinayak Logistics Ltd. (SVLL), one of the fastest growing transport companies, which is all set to foray into the luxury bus segment. It has chosen to partner with Scania for supply of a fleet of buses, with delivery starting this year.
Based in Surat, SVLL is one of the largest fleet owners in the country with over 4,000 trucks. The company operates across diverse segments such as steel, cement, tractors, chemicals and machinery, and is a pioneer in the newer segment of commercial vehicle chassis carriers.
“This order underlines the strong relationship that Scania and Siddhi Vinayak have developed over time,” said Mr. Anders Grundströmer, Managing Director, Scania Commercial Vehicle India and Senior Vice President, Scania Group. “Siddhi Vinayak Logistics Ltd. has already seen the value of Scania’s low total cost of ownership, through our trucks, and the bus purchase is further testimony to the confidence that they have in our vehicles. We are delighted to take our relationship to the next level and extend further support to Siddhi Vinayak Logistics Ltd. in its quest to enhance transportation services for the country.”
