SWM, which manages approximately 40% of Malaysia’s waste
collection and disposal services, is upgrading its fleet with 250
HINO 500 Series refuse trucks equipped with Allison 3000 SeriesTM
transmissions. These new trucks provide smooth operation, reduced
maintenance and downtime, and have proven to be effective in
enabling the company to collect refuse every day without any
disruptions, which has significantly improved efficiency.
"Given the stop-and-go driving conditions that are common in
urban areas, as well as the challenges of soft road surfaces and
inclines, we understand the importance of reliable and efficient
refuse collection operations. That's why we are excited to
introduce our new refuse trucks equipped with Allison 3000 Series
transmissions," said Amirludin Che Ahmad, Operations Manager,
Southern Waste Management. "So far, more than 50 HINO 500 Series
refuse trucks have been put into operation, and we are confident
that this expanding new fleet will enable us to achieve reliable
and efficient performance under demanding conditions."
SWM’s HINO 500 refuse truck pairs the Hino J08E-WK engine and an
Allison 3000 Series six-speed fully automatic transmission with
Power Take-Off. The new refuse vehicles have enabled SWM to reach
its fuel consumption and productivity targets of two kilometers per
liter, using just one ride to collect all garbage within a specific
time frame. Additionally, drivers have reported less stress in
vehicle operation due to improved maneuverability and
drivability.
"We are honored to support SWM's mission to keep Malaysia clean
and environmentally sustainable. Our fully automatic transmissions
are designed to offer the best possible driving experience for
refuse truck drivers, which ultimately results in better service
for customers,” said Ken Ong, Sales Director, Southeast Asia and
Taiwan, Allison Transmission. “We look forward to a continued
partnership with SWM and to further advancing the refuse collection
industry in Malaysia."
Allison Transmission’s 3000 Series is designed for medium-duty
commercial vehicles and is engineered to adapt and operate
efficiently in a variety of applications. The 3000 Series is built
to make medium-duty vehicles more fuel efficient and easier to
operate.
